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.
