thanks gRegor
#
[tantek]
do we need a "humans only" badge for our virtual meetups?
#
[tantek]
or some combined emoji like the red circle slash over the robot? 🚫 🤖

It looks like we don't have a page for "geohash" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "geohash is ____", a sentence describing the term)

I would say it’s worth updating the Carnival page with some concise guidance about AI use.
#
[capjamesg]
I like this part of the Blaugust announcement post: “Blaugust celebrates human creativity, personal expression and the shared experience of making and publishing something of your own. Participants are welcome to use AI tools for assistance, but *the substantive creative contribution to a Blaugust post must come from the participant*.”

what is AI policy?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "AI policy" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "AI policy is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek]
AI policy is a page (or section like on an [[about]] page or [[homepage]]) that describes the site owner’s policy about use of AI (typically [[LLM]]s or other GenAI) on their site, and sometimes an explicit part of a contribution policy to a community effort such as a [[blogging challenge]].

[tantek] We can cite this in brainstorming our own AI policy for events ^^

[Tabitha] if you are curious, this is what Joe and I were talking about earlier.

if various Virtual HWC hosts would like to draft a policy for HWC and AI/LLM/bot usage/joining, I think we could post that somewhere like on /HWC

I agree on an AI policy for events! Is there a general one for the IndieWeb wiki? (I see it says no copyrighted work..)
