in principle i like the idea of marking that your stuff is your own work instead of being by ai; sure you can lie but at it at least demonstrates that you want people to think you care, and that's gotta be worth something. people are doing this. for one example there's somebody on cohost, I can't remember who I just remember seeing this, who has an 88x31 badge in their bio which says "made with my own two paws", and honestly they have my admiration for that. typing with paws is hard.

in reply to @two's post:

mmm yes rake in money from a bad thing by looking like ur doing something yeesss.

you know damn well some stupid businesses are paying for the license for this badge. it does actually look like these people are checking to see if whoever is buying the license also isnt using purely ai generated slop, so it feels similar to the nintendo certified seal of quality. if you actually know that the badge is a certification, then it makes sense. but this badge just looks like cheap bullshit you can slap on your news article or whatever to make people believe you're not budget cutting the stuff you are publishing.

edit: they also still allow you to use just a little ai so lmaooooooo

edit 2: they want you to treat the badge like a TRADEMARKED LOGO. if you change what the badge looks like at all, then its not "the badge." even if you want to change the colors to theme it better with a piece.

edit 3: founder is described as "a full on content creator" this is such big bux grifting horse shit

I suspect that I know what's going on here, and the thought was triggered by your mentioning the similarity to the Creative Commons logos.

Originally, Creative Commons made a point of saying that, when you use their logos to mark your work as so-licensed, you should either hotlink their version or use it without renaming the file, so that people could search for the image to find works under that license.

If I had a similar philosophy, and if I mostly thought of myself as pro-AI, then a cynic might accuse me of making it easier for AI-training scrapers to find the stuff - sorry, content - that they can safely scarf down without damaging the integrity of their training, rather than doing anything about AI.

I have seen people mention this, and the fact that they're expressly pro-AI, seemingly only worried about AI having nothing new to train on, and don't mention this potential use on their website at all make me think it's plausible, as something they're maybe planning to do down the line, if the badge gets popular enough. But as I understand it new data to train on is only valuable if there's a lot of it, while you can make money off people at any scale. I'm not convinced for a second that there are actually 247 thousand of these badges going around, so I don't think using one gets you automatically scraped into some database... yet.

(there's a second thing which is that if the badge does get super popular then using it fraudulently becomes a lot more enticing, which would poison the data. same problem for the 90% rule. maybe this wouldn't be that big of a deal, i don't know)
