ironic that this website uses ghost, which is classified as "shitty" on the ai dirty list.

leaves a bit of a bad taste for the project

    Any sources could help direct the future of the project

    Sure, ghost may be listed as dirty on that website, but there are no links to actual evidence, despite it being listed as cited, if there are credible citations I would consider building this project away from ghost.

    I also thought their weren't sources on that site a few days ago.

    Click on "view citation" now click on the very small text up next to or just below the date. Its not very obvious.

    The view citation has no supporting evidence.

    Let's take Ghost as an example. Click on the first entry's "view citation" button. Now click on the red circle as shown in the picture.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this, why hide the source link so badly? I did read their page, and it does say the quoted text. Due to this, I will be considering moving away from using Ghost, firstly I will contact Ghost to see what their stance is.

    sorry for not answering, I kinda forgot. good, that this has been answered nonetheless. to expand on it:

    look at their github. there are clear signs, that genAI is actively used in the development process. Indicative are agents/skills and .claude directories

    No worries, thanks for the update, due to the reports of AI usage from several piefed users, and due to a lack of an official response, I have moved the entire project to a different better platform that states they are against using AI.

    The zig language has a non-AI contribution policy: https://ziglang.org/code-of-conduct/

    This website is hard to understand. I see no lists, there is a search box. I don't see categories to choose. It feels very empty.

    Is this your project?

    I recently discovered an alternative to Google Docs called Ellipsus, and their anti-AI policy is pretty inspiring. Worth looking at. Service is freemium.

    What I really want is a no AI index for investing in companies that don’t use AI.

    Why build the website before you've got anything to put on it? This is weird. It feels like low-effort "capitalization" on the anti-AI bandwagon.

    I built this partly because I saw nobody else started the project. I've only recently myself decided to stop using AI, so its not some kind of capitalization. Sometimes starting a project is the hardest part. It is a brand new project, so there are hardly any listings. In order for a project like this to grow, it needs to be shared on the web, hence this posting. I'd be happy to hear anywhere else I can post it, or any feedback on how to improve the project.

    The hardest part of a new project is getting data to put on it, and make it worth using, in my experience… It's one of those catch-22 where people only use it if people already are using it. I'd recommend focusing on getting a lot of content added as quickly as possible.

    I respect asking permission for companies to be listed there, but it's a very slow process, and many will never reply.

    I'm surprised that nobody has linked this here: https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware

    It's over-eager to label as slop in places but provides sources and often AI-free alternatives.

    If you have a project, or know a project that has publicly chosen not to use AI, please share it here.
    (Software, Artists, Bands, Games, Business, Organization, etc).

    Site wants to run javascript from 5 different domains and doesnt work with just the site domain permitted.

    Thanks for the feedback, the javascript might be part of the Ghost theme. When you said "doesnt work with just the site domain permitted." - could you please explain this part for me? I might consider moving away from Ghost if it has multiple problems.

    What is the content of your website licensed as?

    People will be much more willing to contribute if you add the licensing info in the footer.

    I recommend CC BY-SA. It's what Wikipedia uses.

    You can get a lot of projects from https://aidirtylist.info/entities/rating-desc/1/ although I've seen some pretty bad takes. Example: people who like an anti-ai book love ai, according to the dirty list.

    noailogo

    I wanted an AI free logo, so I hired a freelancer.

    I'm 99% sure the logo they gave me was AI. It didn't even occur to me that artists would be using AI :/

    Nice resource for people who want alternatives.
