Description
Just a quick attempt, if you want to go more in this direction, I hope this can at least help to give a starting point:
When you see this logo on any artwork, whether painting, poetry, or prose, you know that it was made by a human just like you.
The Brainmade mark can be attached to any work made mostly by you or your friends, not generative tools like GPT. It's not anti-AI, it is a positive mark that celebrates human creation. It's not AI = bad, it's human = good.
There's something transcendent and magical in knowing a human made the artwork I'm consuming, knowing they tried hard is part of the experience. It doesn't have to be 100% human made (what would that even MEAN these days?), perhaps 90% human made.
Three examples of what this mark could apply to:
- Using, say, ChatGPT as a rhyming dictionary feels fine, but writing whole verses of your poem doesn't.
- Using DALL-E to start brainstorming with 100 generated views of birds sitting on telephone lines seems fine, but getting it to paint large sections of your artwork doesn't.
- Asking a text generator to give you 10 happy-sounding synonyms for despair sparks joy in me, but asking it to write your anti-transcendentalist masterpiece does not.
The following video attempts to explain the idea behind this project in more detail:

If you'd like to make this statement, here you can find the high-resolution black or white versions of the logo, which you can download and attach to your own projects.

About Me
I'm Tris, I'm a writer and producer of fast, technical videos, and audiofiction and music.
My first career was as a web developer, doing production on the side for 15 years, but in 2022 I accidentally become entirely self-employed thanks to the surprising success of my YouTube channel, No Boilerplate.
At heart I'm still a software developer, I'll re-use 100 libraries to avoid writing 10 lines of code - standing on the shoulders of giants is the only way I know how I get around.
But I've looked for a way to mark my videos and stories as being made by humans, not AI, and I can't find one that works in exactly the way I want.
