Certified Human Effort certifies works of purely human effort, fostering human creative talents, and preserving the human voice as the only legitimate source of works that inform our humanity.
Human creativity is a vital resource. AI is a tool designed to benefit humanity. In works of technical analysis and innovation (such as medical imaging, pharmaceuticals, and technical design), AI may come to vastly outperform human capacity. That said, AI must not replace or infringe on human creativity. Creative works inspire, motivate, and inform the human spirit. From human designed living spaces to the music we hear, the art we see to the advertisements we watch, from the scripts of movies to the programming of video games, AI must not replace humanity because those things are our humanity. Authentic human effort is required to enrich the human spirit, to stir the human soul.
We, therefore, believe it self-evident that AI creative works, however novel, are at best an inferior copy and at worst a misrepresentation of the human spirit that literature, art, and creative design seek to capture and impart. We seek to preserve the human spirit by certifying its products and endeavors.
Yet by what means? Academic institutions are already desperately seeking AI detection solutions to protect student learning. These tools, however, are marginally effective and powered themselves by AI. AI detection bots, like Originality.io, are already facing head to head against AI masking programs, like StealthGPT, creating a never ending cycle of escalation toward becoming indistinguishable from human activity. These advances in inauthentic but ‘human-like’ imitation pose an existential threat to human creative efforts.
As always at the point of crisis, we humans must band together in mutual trust and respect. We must unite under a common banner toward mutually beneficial goals. We must certify our works as being above and outside of AI’s domain.
Certified Human Effort LLC seeks to provide a common banner. By entering into voluntary agreements with creative firms and individuals, we seek to certify their efforts to ensure their creative works remain AI free. “AI free” means only humans have provided the vital effort to create a project. From ideation to public release, all effort put toward the work must be by exclusively human in origin. In short, the human spirit must infuse the work, from first jot to last tittle.
Following the example of organic and non-GMO certification organizations, Certified Human Effort will engage with companies and individuals in a contractual relationship which will allow them to represent the labeling and brand image of Certified Human Effort. This labeling will represent the content creator’s commitment to work in ways consistent with the Certified Human Effort Artisan pledge. Human trust will remain the backbone of Certified Human Effort LLC.
