You can learn more about The Human-Made project here https://thehumanmade.org/

I've also included links to any other AI-free labelling projects I could find.

Whichever label you use, I highly recommend adding a clear name or social media handle of the humans behind the work. It gives due credit and confirms your work is made without AI.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.

The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did.

When the Beastie Boys sang about fighting for the right to party, they were right about that NEED, and we did win that right, and it is NOT a trivial thing.

After the ending of the Hayes Code, these touchy sensibilities persisted, but my generation was not having it. We fought for the right to express ourselves in new ways that I think many born after that don't realize. Not just the right to party (we're talking drug war, draconian laws against raves and music, breaking down barriers about the stories that could be told in media, AND the right to swear), but the right to color our hair purple, get tattoos, and BE TRANS. These all came as a whole thing.

And all were incredibly, deeply destructive to the illusion of whiteness.

Along with that broke down the walls of profanity, and with that, the ability to discuss topics that were previously barred from "polite society." ("Polite society" is code for WHITE and UPPER CLASS.)

By the time Twitter and Insta came along, there was no possible dream of censoring based on most language and most topics. We'd won that. We didn't have to strike because they knew we wouldn't adopt the platform if that crap came with it. Even the execs at those companies wouldn't dream of taking that away.

It's no mistake that's when we saw an era of social justice movements like none we've ever seen.

It wasn't just the tech giving us platforms. It was also because we didn't have that buffer of sensibilities and tender feelings between us and the important conversations. Or ... to put it another way...

We changed who it was we were trying NOT TO OFFEND.

We (society trends) stopped caring what old religious white ladies and TV executives thought about our speech, and started caring more about not hurting the marginalized-classes.
