"Written by a human [0]" I've been playing around with this on my own blog. I'd like the blogging community to have a consensus on a nice badge we can put at the top of our blog posts, representing who/what wrote the post; - human - hybrid - ai Some might hate the idea of a fully "ai" post, and that's fair. But I like to sometimes treat my blog as just a personal reference, and if after a long day of chasing an esote…

There's the "Not by AI" badge[0].

Honestly, it reminds me of "All Tomorrows" by C. M. Kosemen.

The "emotions" part is kind of tongue-in-cheek. I think emotional responses are one of the more mechanical parts of a human being.

Ability to demonstrate empathy: that's a good human trick. It can sort of transcend the hard problem of consciousness (what is to be like...) by using all sorts of unorthodox workarounds on our inner workings. It must have been very hard to develop. It doesn't always work, but we'll get there eventually.

edit: fixed book and author name to proper reference

I think I would still call that a hybrid post. Fully AI would be if you contribute nothing except the topic and tell the AI to research and write the whole thing.

Doesn't really make much sense. It states that this is a purely mechanistic world with no emotion. So why would a machine be "bored" and wish to create a human?

My headcanon is that "boredom" and "fear" are probabilities in a Markov chain - since it's implied the machine society is not all-knowing, they must reconcile uncertainty somehow.

"Summarize my sleep deprived, insane ramblings, in to a cohesive document that I can reference again in the future, or use to communicate this issue to others in a more digestible format than I am currently capable of producing" I think the AI generated document is far better than me ultimately forgetting it in many cases.

Aha fo sure.

I'm thinking of writing an MCP server that does this, just takes my night of vibe coding and recent commits/branch etc

Then just cobbles it into an AI post and adds it my blog under some category.

yeah, more on the environmental constraints and where the machines even come from would be nice > There is no emotion. There is no art. There is only logic also this type of pure humanism seems disrespectful or just presumptuous, as if we are the only species which might be capable of "emotion, art and logic" even though we already have living counterexamples

Disrespectful? Of whom? It's a work of fiction. There's really no need to find something to offend you wherever you look.

How would a machine know that it doesn't know?
