Fedi Hive Mind - AI Free Label
OK, we have a winner. For the last few days we've been discussing a label for creative content and code attested to be free of generative AI (see QP in second reply). Yesterday's poll showed a clear preference for the simplest of the four options.
Seems like what we need next is someone with actual graphics ability to take this rough concept and create usable graphics. If you are interested please read on to the first reply.
AI is just a tool. What matters in software is who uses it.
Vibe coding is intuition‑driven, exploratory programming guided by feel; AI‑assisted development is goal‑driven coding where AI accelerates, checks, and scaffolds deliberate engineering decisions.
A Vibe Coder with no development skill often ends up with slop.
An AI‑assisted developer can work faster, with better results.
Banning AI is not the solution—it misunderstands the problem.
While many have opinions on these matters, the purpose of this initiative is not to take a position, or 'ban AI'. Rather it is for those who what to attest there is no generative AI contribution to what they have produced. Simple as that.
@mastodonmigration Simple is best, and altho I have not been a part of these discussions I'd like to suggest the red "NO" circle with the stoke over the "AI" as you've shown.
We all recognize the symbol. Other than getting all fancy, what more should there be to it?
Just my 2¢
Not suggesting anything drastically different. These were produced on a simple paint program at low resolution. A real graphic artist would make something much better with an eye to all the details and created on a real graphics program.
Fedi Hive Mind - AI Free Label - Call for graphics support
What we now need is a really well produced graphic that takes account of elements such as font type, circle width, etc.
Then create a package with four versions at multiple resolutions. 1. Borderless 2. Black Border 3. Red Boarder and 4. No Caption, as shown below. All should be separate images with transparent backgrounds.
If anyone wants to take a stab at it that would be great!
@mastodonmigration I can sort that for you tomorrow, if you like.
Awesome!
Edit: This need not be exclusive. It would be great if we got a few different artists on it all sharing their work in progress. The concept is so simple, like No Parking signs, that the initiative actually benefits from a lack of standardization on the detailed execution. Let's have multiple versions and let folks decide which visually appeals to them.

A Request - Please do not turn this thread into an open debate about AI.
While many have opinions on these matters, the purpose of this AI Free initiative is not to take a position, or 'ban AI'.
Rather, these labels are for those who want to attest that what they have produced is free of any generative AI contribution. Simple as that.
If you want to debate AI, there are plenty of other places to do so.
Thanks.
