Human Intelligence: Writers Continue to Shout From the Rooftops

Those who support words spilled from their souls, not spit out by a computer

My apologies for tagging writers again

It is, however, the only method to alert readers about Good News! The expanding group of Human Writers — or “Human Intelligence-HI.”

They are committed to not using AI or ChatGPT to write their Medium stories. (Note: this doesn’t relate to Grammarly for punctuation and grammar).

Thanks, Conceivably Me, for the conception of the “HI” moniker. She permits our adoption of it.

To those tagged

For tagged writers, please feel no obligation to engage. The article isn’t published for that reason. Consider it a “Public Service Announcement” on behalf of dedicated writers.

Please, though, note the expanded list and support “HI Writers.”

Suggestion

My plan is to print copies of the list to keep with me when out and about and at my desk.

They will serve as quick, handy access (how old school, yes, a printed page) rather than needing to refer back to this story, a computerized list, or rely upon memory.

Tossing a copy in your bag or briefcase may also assist you if awaiting an appointment, on the bus or train, or away from your computer. Highlight your favorites.

Intention

The purpose is to provide a bank of authors, who write across a broad spectrum of subjects, allowing us to: (1) save time, (2) read quality work, and (3) reward dedicated writers not using AI or ChatGPT.

Several professional, full-time writers have explained that, unfortunately, AI is here to stay. No one can serve as an enforcer or gatekeeper to mitigate its inevitable spread.

Hence, our most constructive effort is to avoid reading it and to support real writers creating from their unique souls and minds.

Expanded list

The list has been expanded over this past month. The result has been fantastic!

Nearly three hundred writers

The list was culled from comments to my articles and those of CarolF, Josh Hinton, Malky McEwan, R C Hammond, and Natalie.

Kudos to you all and numerous other writers for continuing this critical conversation.

Undoubtedly, hundreds — or even thousands — more names should be added. Please, if you’re not on the list and ought to be, leave a comment that you’re committed to HI and don’t use AI.

To minimize the annoyance of being tagged, I’ve alphabetized the names. Educators, please give me a pass if I’ve forgotten some grammar school rules…it’s been a while. 😎

Recommendations

I highly recommend these articles by Michael Koetsier and CarolF.

1. Michael, with an impressive IT background, eloquently elucidates the racist aspect of AI-gathered content.
2. Carol, a professional writer for several years, suggests how to minimize AI stories in our feeds and to block or mute writers.

Future efforts

I implore others to continue beating the drum by writing future articles. New writers and readers — unsuspecting fresh meat for the bots — enter the platform daily.

DR Rawson - The Possibilist has a stellar idea to promote the “HI" concept to greater lengths.

Here is his recent article. Please jump on the bandwagon to participate.

Thanks, DR, for your support and commitment to the mission.

History

If interested in the genesis of this endeavor, these were published earlier. They include links to several other writers’ superb AI pieces.

Following recommendations from seasoned journalists and Medium authors, I shall continue to shout from the rooftops. On street corners. In the occasional article.

Changes

For decades, I had the serenity prayer posted on my wall, unaware it was the AA creed:

Accept the things I cannot change, have the courage to change those I can, and have the wisdom to know the difference.

We have the choice not to read AI-generated glop. The wisdom in identifying it remains a challenge.

Happy 2024 to All!

Thanks for your time. 😎🙏Victoria
