A Global Movement for Human Creativity
With over 0K+ pages featuring the Not By AI badges, Not By AI is the world's most popular way (likely) to show that your content is not generated by AI. As a forward-thinking organization founded in 2023 in Philadelphia, United States, we focus on promoting content originality. AI is rapidly emerging as the dominant means for humans to create content. Moreover, the ability to distinguish AI-generated content from human-made content has become a thing in the past. We are at a pivotal moment for protecting human creativity.
Through our Not By AI badges and our initiative, we want to encourage humans to continue to create content for a vital cause: to advance humanity. When content is created by AI by harvesting existing content, new ideas cease to emerge. Back in 2016, Microsoft introduced Tay, an AI chatbot on Twitter. In less than 24 hours, Tay started sharing racist and sexist messages after absorbing content from us humans. This shows how AI's growth is contingent on our own progress. On the other hand, since 2016, we have made tremendous progress as a species via content creation focused on gender equality, racial equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and more, all without AI. If we all stop creating content and solely rely on AI, we will cease to progress as AI continues to recycle our existing content.
Here are some groundbreaking art and literature that would not have been possible if AI had replaced human content prior to the creation of each masterpiece:
We are Not By AI, not anti-AI. We encourage you to work with AI but not be replaced by it. No matter what kind of content creator you are, be it a writer, blogger, YouTuber, TikToker, podcaster, artist, producer, as long as you created the content with very little to no help from AI, we invite you to add the badge to your work.
Our Mission
We created the badge to encourage you to:
Show your originality
A report found that 74% of new web pages contain AI-generated content (via). The human touch of originality in all content is becoming a rare and valuable selling point. AI may seem like it is capable of composing “original content”, the content AI creates is actually based on past human-created content as AI is trained on it. The originality of a human is irreplaceable.
Advance humanity
AI is trained using human-created content from the past and can only generate content by recycling and recomposing existing content. If we, as a species, stopped creating content and solely relied on AI, the content AI produced would become repetitive and stagnant. Humans has been advancing everyday and this has reflected on our shifting values on racism, sexism, equality, and more. To continue the process, we must keep creating, thinking, and debating to define the next chapter.
Grow human-centric organizations
Your clients, prospects, users will appreciate AI but they will still want humans to address their specific needs. AI may be powerful, it is still only passively listening to prompts to generate answers. Only a trained human can understand the complexity of a real life problem and tailor a solution uniquely for it.
Promote creativity
We aim to help promote human creations, such as arts, music, film, and other content types that shape our culture and define humanity. Additionally, by stating that your work is generated by a human instead of AI, you inspire other creators to join the movement, too.
Our Founder
"We want to celebrate human authenticity," Allen Hsu, founder of Not By AI, said in an interview with The Washington Post.
As an award-winning designer and content creator with over 15 years of experience across digital design, UX, music production, motion design, and writing, he deeply understands the value of originality in creative work. His human-centric designs and writings have been featured by major media outlets and he has served as a judge for multiple design awards.
Allen founded Not By AI when ChatGPT began gaining public attention, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of authentic, human-made content. He believes that the dominance of AI-generated content poses a risk to human creativity globally. As a former nomad who spent 15 months traveling around the world, he prioritizes the international exposure and adoption of Not By AI. With the help of 40+ translators, Not By AI has now gained massive international recognition.
