Are you serious?

Handmade by humans. AI free spaces. Handcrafted without AI assistance. Made by humans for humans. Made with love not silicone.

"Did you make that, or is it a Rec?" short for recreation

I think we'll have a word or shorthand for AI generated stuff since there will be so much of it.

Like how Text is a verb or Google is a verb, we'll have a quick way to say something is AI vs Human generated.

Maybe a focus on doing things with real humans is too much, but I think non-AI interactions will be valued higher. If I mailed you a handwritten letter you'd value that more than this comment or even a personal email.

Reddittors are likely to embrace the full digital spectrum of AI, but I don't think that sentiment is universal. As Styx said in their song "Domo Arigato" (Mr. Roboto) in 1983...

"Machines to save our lives; machines dehumanize."

In the 1920's as recorded music became popular, the musicians protested as, in all the previous years, music was only ever heard if a human played it for you. Music used to always be a social event, you needed to be skilled yourself, or have skilled friends or others to play it for you, otherwise you'd never hear music.

I’m in to carpentry. ‘Hand Made’ is always a moving target, and the same will be true of ‘AI-Free’ work. It’s a marketing label, a tactic, and needs to be separated in our minds from the incoming changes, which will pervade all this ‘AI-free’ work we will laud.
