Fedi Hive Mind - AI Free Label
OK, we have a winner. For the last few days we've been discussing a label for 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.

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.

Unknown parent • • •You’re right—but we’re addressing different layers of the same problem. I’m talking about how AI can improve systems; you’re talking about who gets to decide. “AI‑free” misses the real issue: AI amplifies existing power. The solution isn’t abstinence, but governance—set limits on use (constraints), tie AI to quality not savings (guarantees), protect creative labor (empowerment), and require disclosure and accountability (transparency).

Please take this debate elsewhere.

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!

If you want to debate AI, there are plenty of other places to do so.
Thanks.
