Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not intelligent at all. It simply constructs content based on existing content that was made by real humans. AI does not grasp concepts, it does not convey ideas, it cannot think and it does not actually understand the prompts given to it.

Humans however make content, write books and create art by using their brains. Without humans there would be no AI. While some AI implementations can be used effectively, it cannot be used to replace human creativity. Instead, it remixes existing content while pretending to have a human personality, which is hard-coded into it to make its users believe they’re dealing with a person.

Unfortunately, “AI” is currently a buzzword that companies like to use to appear modern, like “fuzzy logic”, “dotcom”, “big data”, “crypto” and “iot” in the past, but often is does not add quality to a product. Artificial Intelligence not only produces hallucinations, but outright low quality content. AI slop is everywhere.

Apart from that, AI systems often invade user privacy and use datasets that contain stolen or copyright-infringing data. That is not very intelligent, it is wrong.

Using AI can ruin great products and diminish customers’ trust and loyalty and make them switch to competitors.

The badge

I have created a badge that can be used to indicate that a product was made with brainpower, not by AI.
