    @vkc i don't think sparkle is a good emoji representation for ai. i'd read it as "no glitter allowed".

      I was inspired by @mntmn 's "using AI wastes a lot of energy" email signature idea.

      So I just combined the OpenMoji for "prohibited" with the OpenMoji for "sparkle" and it makes a pretty convincing "no AI" sign. I put it up on Codeberg if you want it.

      it really bums me out that companies claimed ✨ as the signifier for "AI" because i've always enjoyed the ✨whimsy✨ of the sparkles emoji

        @kett I've only ever used it ironically myself, but lately it's in everything companies push that they call "AI"

          @vkc @mntmn As someone who has worked with people who would literally just send cryptic one-liner emails, I'd still completely prefer that to smarmy, overly-verbose slop text!

          @jaredwhite yeah the single word "help" in an email is so much better than the overly verbose crud.

            @vkc
            Not the most intuitive but i like the idea.

            Probably a combination of 🤖 🚫 and 🤮 would be easier to get he impression across.

              @mntmn @vkc my first thought there was "No Subaru vehicles beyond this point". They have more sparkles though!

                @jaredwhite And if you get a short, cryptic email that makes no sense, at least you *know* that it makes no sense and can act accordingly. As opposed to something where a LLM has taken the same nonsensical input and extruded something that *appears* to make sense but which might very well not be at all what the person who sent it intended! (Or it might be. It's just impossible to know.)

                  @vkc @yetzt I've only just now realized that the sparkles character is NOT THE SAME as the fireworks character. 🤦‍♂️

                  @vkc I think this is a great idea and your new emoji fits perfectly!

                    Yes, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Definitely a throwback to the "please don't print this email" days and makes a tiny statement about who I am as a person.

                    Plus it encourages everyday folks who want to resist so-called AI but don't know how to get started.

                    Thank you so much for the idea @mntmn !

                    @vkc @mntmn I was just thinking about how to word a signature like this a few minutes ago. #noSlop will be the problem of this year in corporate environments as all colleagues go through their individual AI learning processes.

                        @vkc @mntmn I think this is great. It's inviting instead of scolding. And to your point, I agree, just send me the bullet points.

                              I think the real challenge will be getting an AI to make a better "no AI" symbol.

                                      Here is also a literal noAI custom emoji that I took from a public domain Wikimedia Commons image and added the white background:

                                      @daltux @vkc @mntmn I think the sparkles one is better because AI has the initials inverted in other languages (IA) but the sparkles symbol is language-free

                                        I was inspired by @mntmn 's "using AI wastes a lot of energy" email signature idea.

                                        So I just combined the OpenMoji for "prohibited" with the OpenMoji for "sparkle" and it makes a pretty convincing "no AI" sign. I put it up on Codeberg if you want it.

                                        Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/vkc/no-sparkle

                                          Yes, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Definitely a throwback to the "please don't print this email" days and makes a tiny statement about who I am as a person.

                                          Plus it encourages everyday folks who want to resist so-called AI but don't know how to get started.

                                          Thank you so much for the idea @mntmn !
