Your Website Is Human Made

404 Media cites a study claiming a third of new websites are IA-Generated. The study measured sites created since 2022. This is one of those findings that strikes me as hard to believe at first, and then pretty plausible.

What does one do to ensure that visitors know your personal site is powered by a human? Jason Morehead is using a human.json file. The file is added to your website’s head. The file can also vouch for the humanity of other sites, and I’m proud to say that his includes Canned Dragons. Chrome and Firefox have extensions that validate if your site has a human.json file.

As Morehead points out, it’s not foolproof and any site could add the file, AI-powered or not. At least it is a statement, though, that in such a case would be making a false claim.

Here's mine.
