#ai-free

Solarpunks, I need your help! I just discovered that the language learning app I downloaded as an alternative to Duolingo’s AI slop in fact also uses AI! 🤬🤬🤬

Pls, can anyone recommend a language app that actually helps you with fluency and *doesn’t* use planet-wrecking work-stealing technology?

Looking for Writers

I've recently opened my manuscript evaluation and editing services, and I have slots open for March. If you are you looking for an affordable, friendly service, are a new writer, or are looking for proofreading and don't want the hassle, jargon, or an AI to NOT come anywhere near your work, please come check me out at Twisted Leaf Editing. I'll be happy to hear you out, and discuss what I can do for you.

I specialise in Fantasy, UK English (but I can understand and edit with US English in mind), and I've already worked with some amazing authors.

I am also a writer, so what you get from me will be perspective and objective suggestions for your work. I welcome any new writer, and I have a promise of no AI-usage, fast and friendly results and reliable timings.

Century Library is a scanned library of thousands of real vintage images you can use for your projects.

There is zero AI, so you don't have to worry about the collection being polluted by undisclosed fake vintage images.

The price is reasonable ($14/mo) and includes an almost unlimited commercial license. Check it out!

Religious exemption from using AI

If you have an ethic of avoiding harm to the environment and other people, AI and its associated requirement for data processing centres which guzzle water and electricity, and slave labour (or very poorly-paid labour) to mine the minerals needed for the devices it runs on, definitely qualifies as the sort of harm that we would wish to avoid.

Filtering out AI

For people who want human-made art and writing in their search results, it’s getting harder to distinguish between AI and human-made, as large language models “learn” to generate productions that look more like human language and art. Continue reading Filtering out AI

With all the talk about #AIart I'm making a commitment for all my work to be AI-Free. If my art or writing is bad, its 100% my work because its made by a human and I am flawed. That means no generated art or text will be used in my books. not even using #ChatGPT for research.

I'm making this commitment because I want to be a model of authenticity and to remind people the true value of human work and the joys and pains of artistic expression.

I'm opposed to generative AI for many reasons. 1. its trained on other's work and that's theft. 2. it takes an enormous amount of physical resources (energy and water, for example) to generate and I don't want to waste it 3. being an artist is a valuable skill that real people spend years cultivating and I do not want to see that diminished.

So, I implore you to join me in my commitment to make my story AI-Free. Make a stand and say no to generative "art" and make your own works and make them bad! bad is beautiful!

(feel free to copy the pose and post it with your own OCs! I'd love to see it!)
