I was inspired by @mntmn 's "using AI wastes a lot of energy" email signature idea.

@jaredwhite yeah the single word "help" in an email is so much better than the overly verbose crud.

@vkc
Not the most intuitive but i like the idea.

Probably a combination of and 🤮 would be easier to get he impression across.

@mntmn @vkc my first thought there was "No Subaru vehicles beyond this point". They have more sparkles though!

@jaredwhite And if you get a short, cryptic email that makes no sense, at least you *know* that it makes no sense and can act accordingly. As opposed to something where a LLM has taken the same nonsensical input and extruded something that *appears* to make sense but which might very well not be at all what the person who sent it intended! (Or it might be. It's just impossible to know.)

@vkc @yetzt I've only just now realized that the sparkles character is NOT THE SAME as the fireworks character. ‍️

@vkc I think this is a great idea and your new emoji fits perfectly!

@vkc @mntmn I was just thinking about how to word a signature like this a few minutes ago. #noSlop will be the problem of this year in corporate environments as all colleagues go through their individual AI learning processes.

@vkc@linuxmom.net @mntmn@mastodon.social Also "no vampires"?

Brian Owen

@vkc @mntmn I think this is great. It's inviting instead of scolding. And to your point, I agree, just send me the bullet points.

Here is also a literal noAI custom emoji that I took from a public domain Wikimedia Commons image and added the white background:

#noAI #noLLM #slopMachines

I am Jack's Found 404

@vkc @mntmn

Please consider the environment before printing this email or feeding it through a horrendously inefficient space heater.

@vkc
I think the real challenge will be getting an AI to make a better "no AI" symbol.

@vkc@linuxmom.net @mntmn@mastodon.social thank you!

@vkc @mntmn I love this! Brb plastering it everywhere.

@daltux @vkc @mntmn I think the sparkles one is better because AI has the initials inverted in other languages (IA) but the sparkles symbol is language-free

@vkc @mntmn Love that, gonna use it. Ive been putting off creating an official footer at my job for ages an now i got a reason. : )

JuanjoSan

@vkc @mntmn Well, I'm a prophane and I believe that in time it's going to get that meaning intended. But, at first sight, It made me think about stars, happiness, and dreams forbidden. Just my thought.

James Young

@vkc @mntmn are you open for that being a Mastodon emoji?
(I can do it if you want, PNG or GIF, under 50k)

Sylvia Ritter

@kett @vkc @mntmn let's don't let them take this away from us! Nobody owns the sparkle emoji.
