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

[vkc@linuxmom.net]

@yetzt on the other hand even Emojipedia says it's come to refer to companies using so-called AI.

[kett@app.wafrn.net]

it really bums me out that companies claimed ✨ as the signifier for "AI" because i've always enjoyed the ✨whimsy✨ of the sparkles emoji

[vkc@linuxmom.net]

@kett I've only ever used it ironically myself, but lately it's in everything companies push that they call "AI"

[vkc@linuxmom.net]

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

[alteredspecifis@social.linux.pizza]

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

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

@mntmn

[greem@cyberplace.social]

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

[mkj@social.mkj.earth]

@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!

[lizzard@social.tchncs.de]

@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.

[zakalwe@plasmatrap.com]

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

[brianowen@fosstodon.org]

@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.

[daltux@snac.daltux.net]

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

[float13@masto.hackers.town]

@vkc @mntmn

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

[human3500@ottawa.place]

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

[theorangetheme@en.osm.town]

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

[peterbrown@mastodon.scot]

@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

[eobet@oldbytes.space]

@vkc multiple discovery! 😃 https://front-end.social/@chriskirknielsen/115928575380838223

[gnyrfta@mastodon.social]

@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@mastodon.social]

@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.
