Fedi Hive Mind - What should software free of AI be labeled?

A decision by @Blender to take money from Anthopic, and a policy by @redox to ban all LLM generated code spotlights the question.

Other industries have used badging like Sugar Free, Low Tar, Alcohol Free, 100% Cotton, and Organic.

What's a good label for code that is certified free of any LLM generated code?

So far suggestions include: AI Free, Organic Code, Not By AI, LLM Free, 100% Human, No LLM, No AI

Thoughts? Ideas?

@mastodonmigration I don't want medicine free of AI. AI has been key to many breakthroughs, and the pace is accelerating:

Fighting Cancer with AI

Mention artificial intelligence, and most people will immediately think of the publicly accessible tools whose ability to generate passable term papers, uncanny artwork, and runnable computer code has helped ignite everything from internet memes to union strikes. Behind the broad discussion of AI’s role in society, though, scientists and clinicians have been quietly exploring its potential to revolutionize cancer care and research.

@jonesmurphy

Unfortunately AI has come to be a catch all term for a wide array of advanced computer processing techniques. Talking about no generative LLM code in a FOSS project, or attesting that an piece of artwork was created by a human, is not the same thing as using machine learning to analyze radiology images. They are all lumped under AI though.

@mastodonmigration all those techniques are means of having computers do things only humans used to be able to do. They're definitely a form of intelligence, intelligence ultimately capable of contributing to the demise of humans if we're not careful. While I welcome medical uses of AI, I have grave concerns about humanity's ability to handle AI and all other forms of technology responsibly. Bigotry & hatred make humans a great danger to ourselves. We can go extinct from our own advances.
