you know what, fuck it, im choosing violence today. notbyai.fyi is an ai industry op to get people to make more training data for ai and i can fucking prove it.
tl;dr: it's actually pretty pro-ai, it's made by an ai bro, and it's directly enriching ai companies by giving them your data
the analytics and tracking cookies from known major ai companies: bing (microsoft), youtube (google), clarity (microsoft). these cookies last anywhere from 6 months to over a year
the "chart" directly under their mission statement specifically calls out the problem of training ai on ai-generated images
the first paragraph in their mission statement begins by mentioning "help audiences identify human-generated content" and then ends with some real tescreal shit about the advancement of humanity
The Not By AI® badges are created to encourage more humans to produce original content and help audiences identify human-generated content. The ultimate goal is to make sure humanity continues to advance.
this quote from further down their mission statement makes it clear that the site is definitely pro-AI, and has yet more tescreal pro-ai-but-what-if-it-replaces-us shit
It is worth mentioning that AI technologies mark a major milestone in the history of technology and the Not By AI badge is not designed to discourage the use of AI. Instead, it is to make sure that, while we celebrate the achievement, we work with AI instead of being replaced by AI.
and the 90% rule, which explicitly allows ai. for-profit is only allowed if you pay them. you have to pay an ai bro money to declare that your for-profit work is at least 90% ai free. dystopian.
if you estimate that at least 90% of your content is created by humans, you are eligible to add the badges into your website, blog, art, film, essay, books, podcast, or whatever your project is for non-commercial use, and, with a subscription, commercial use.
and continues into explicitly allowing AI even more, and their first example is for legal documents
The 90% can include using AI for inspiration purposes, supporting legal documents such as privacy policies (assuming that legal content is not the main focus of your content or service), non-user-facing content such as SEO tags, and grammatical error and typo checks.
their about page (notbyai.fyi/about) has a quote from billionaire warren buffet which is just weirdo shit (warren buffet cares deeply about eugenicist things like poor countries having too many people)
but here's the fucking kicker. the "founder", allen hsu (notbyai.fyi/about), is the ux design lead at modo modo (modomodoagency.com/leadership), which is an ai design company (modomodoagency.com/about)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is cool and we embrace it. But when it comes to solving complex business problems, we don’t just press a few keys to generate answers with ChatGPT. We research, interview, brainstorm, and go through a human-centric process to come up with content and solutions that are tailored to your unique business need.
there you go. its made by an ai bro. its full of tescreal shit. its literally not even anti-ai, and its letting ai companies track you. this is ai shit.

in reply to iwein • • •Because it could cause some AIbros to ingest the generated content and train on that?
Oh, that would be sad...

in reply to noplasticshower • • •I recommend that we read the articles about this carefully. There's obviously an optimum for minimum detectability and maximum harm. It would be sad to miss that opportunity enthusiastically.
But yeah, a distributed poisoning attack looks up for the taking to me.

in reply to Cassandra is only carbon now • • •@xgranade "human content" sounds as far removed from anything actually human as does "human capital".
There really isn't a way to make this plastic shit any more in line with actual living experience. Its all slop for the machine.

who in their right mind would think it's a great idea to need to buy a $100 sticker to "prove" their project isn't AI. nobody owns the rights to "not AI" just write "this project is not AI" on it. it's free
love to imagine the roundtable that brought about this racket.
billionaire AI goons when AI was not as profitable as they first imagined: "...well if AI isn't making us money... why don't we try making money off of not AI instead?"
and everyone in the room clapped.

That's more or less my reason why I don't have anything like it on my web site. michael.kjorling.se/blog/2025/… The specific blog post it references in turn references this particular example "not by AI" badge, but the concept generalizes.
If someone wants an idea of how much generative AI I use on my web site, it's right there, mentioned on and linked from the front page. michael.kjorling.se/ai/ (Come to think of it, I really should add it to the navigation menu, too.)
