Summary

The website content discusses a movement initiated by DR Rawson to distinguish human-written content from AI-generated material on Medium, encouraging writers to update their profiles with "HI" to signify their human intelligence and commitment to original writing.

Abstract

The article titled "HUMAN INTELLIGENCE | HI | AI | DANCING WITH ELEPHANTS PRESS" emphasizes the importance of human writers proudly declaring their work as AI-free. It chronicles the genesis of this movement, sparked by the author's frustration with AI-generated content on Medium. DR Rawson proposed the "HI" label to differentiate human-crafted stories, which quickly gained traction. The initiative has since evolved into a broader campaign supported by writers like Malky McEwan and Dr. Gabriella Korosi, with Dancing Elephants Press backing a writing contest and book project dedicated to the "HI Movement." The article calls for a collective effort to maintain the integrity of human creativity on the platform.

Opinions

  • The author expresses a strong preference for human-written stories over AI-generated content, viewing the latter as a form of "AI glop" that dilutes the quality of material on Medium.
  • DR Rawson is portrayed as a catalyst for the "HI" movement, with the author praising Rawson's proactive approach and the creation of the "HI" moniker as a means to identify authentic human writing.
  • The article conveys a sense of urgency to push back against the proliferation of AI content, suggesting that without action, AI could dominate the platform.
  • There is an evident sense of community and solidarity among writers who are committed to producing human-intelligence-driven content, as evidenced by the doubling of the author's reading list to include nearly 300 "wordsmiths."
  • The author acknowledges the support from Dancing Elephants Press and expresses gratitude for their commitment to the "HI Movement," highlighting the importance of such alliances in promoting human creativity.
  • The article encourages readers to change their Medium profiles to include "HI" or similar indicators, reinforcing the movement's goal of fostering a space where human writers can be easily identified and supported.
  • The originator of the "HI" label, "Conceivably Me," is credited with coining the term and is thanked for allowing others to adopt and propagate it.

Thanks, kudos, and salutations to DR Rawson

What a class act and delightful human being DR Rawson - The Possibilist is.

In December, I was whining about all the AI glop hitting my Medium feed. Wasting untold amounts of time opening dreck, I was about to depart the platform entirely because I was so sick of it.

On a fluke, I published a list of writers whom I “knew” to be writing their own stories. I pled for others to come forward. It was a simple, selfish desire for a “Christmas gift” to moi — finding quality material to read.

Fast forward. DR commented, “Let’s take this idea viral. Let’s move ahead with “HI”-Human Intelligence.”

I replied, “DR, that would be fantastic. Run with it. I’m not interested in being a leader or spokesperson. But I’ll support you as a committed cheerleader. Enthusiastically, with bells on.”

Continuing support and voices

Malky McEwan, respected writer and editor of the publication E³, urges us to keep shouting from the rooftops to prevent AI’s total proliferation on the site. I shall do my part.

Fast forward again. By the end of December, my reading list had doubled to nearly 300 wordsmiths. These are folks whose work is obviously human-produced or who are committed to writing from their own souls sans AI.

Fantastic suggestions, support, and comments have exploded. Tons more stories will be written.

This is a Movement — a movement to protect creators.

Thanks to Dr. Gabriella Korosi and Dancing Elephants Press for their support, writing contest, book project, and commitment to the “HI Movement.”

Changing your profile

Many of us have changed our Medium Profile to include “HI,” or “Not using AI,” or “HI Writer,” or a other indicia.

It’s a simple way for us to connect with your writing and to support you.

More kudos to our HI originator

Thanks to the great “HI” moniker of Conceivably Me. She, in an article, mentioned that she was “HI.” I loved it. She said: “Run with it. Use it!”

Thanks for your time. 😎🙏
