thefoggiestUnsure how, but I stumbled upon human.json, a lightweight protocol for humans to assert authorship of their website content and vouch for the humanity of others. It looked like the kind of thing that is right up my alley!

I'm still writing up my blog post on the solution I created yesterday, but for now I added a quick post on adding a human.json file to my site.
I link out to a post by @foosel which I followed, and the couple of things I did differently.
human.json
Recently I came across the human.json protocol, which is implemented to allow humans to assert ownership of site content and to vouch for the humanity of others. Given the proliferation of AI-generated slop out on the internet and seeping its way into other aspects of our lives through ads, TV and more, finding ways of vouching for genuine human content is more important than ever. Whilst the protocol isn’t a guarantee (it’s easy for AI-generated sites to create their own JSON files and vouch for each other after all), having the ability to work out if a site is vouched for by someone you trust can make a difference.
♿ 🏳️🌈 La pantera rojaChe, quienes tengan blogs y quieran añadirme al human.json, el mío está enlazado aquí. De paso estoy volviendo a la sana costumbre de enlazar a otros blogs que conozco; avísenme y les añado.
Georg RüppelI just discovered that the latest release of #pkgdown now adds an llms.txt file to the rendered site by default. Immediately disabled the new 'feature' and added human.json instead 🙃

Ross A. BakerJumped on the human.json bandwagon. Some good discussion tonight at IndieWeb meetup about how it relates to a blogroll. I don't see why they couldn't both be supported from the same source of truth.
stfnNew blog post!
I added human.json to my blog to show that I am indeed a human and not AI, and I am also vouching for others that they are of the human kind.
It's a small step against the flood of AI generated sites, but I guess it's something?

AI policy and human.json
I have added an AI policy for this website (TL;DR: there is no AI content here). I am not categorically opposed to carefully-supervised LLM use, but see no place for it on a human-written IndieWeb. As with developing my (more substantial) privacy policy, it was a helpful process to examine my own thinking and practice around this issue and to see the policies of this website’s dependencies. I aim to minimise the external software dependencies needed to build this website – it only depends on the Hugo static site generator and the PaperMod theme. Hugo accepts AI-assisted code with disclosure required; I have no objection to this in principle.
Okay, is there anyone I know on here who’s also using human.json
