I hope others feel like they can chime in.
My personal take is, if a human/team of people types up the code that generates something most people would consider 'art' then it's human made. I do think it's something of a grey area, as is all art. Is a banana taped to a wall art? It evokes a feeling for sure. are tools art in and of themselves? Is the printing press a work of art? a machine crafted by humans (for now) that helps people make works of art like books and posters, etc. are those later materials 'art'? Is the person who manufactures a machine like that an artist? it's all subjective and relative to different perspectives.
I think the intent with the human made is symbol is to be a stamp on works that were crafted by humans. That can take a lot of meanings, and people will push that boundary for sure. Ultimately it's intent is to mark things that were not made by AI/machine learning things. Up to the user and their audience I suppose to decide if something is worthy of that title. 'human made' The idea is intention. That might require the randomness that comes from the human body/mind vs an algorithm, even if a human penned it. idk tough call.
I am 100% behind the idea. I think the things I actually have in mind are essentially roll tables. Caves of Qud, or most roguelikes, use proc-gen. GalaxyKate’s flower generators. Inflorescence City (http://inflorescence.city/)… This is the kind of thing I mean. Maybe the deciding factor is intent.
Whether “AI is a tool” is a per-subject conversation that often makes me roll my eyes. Code, though, code is ideally just how coders express themselves. I love games, I love creativity, and I love the human intent behind anything, no matter how janky. I won’t misuse this :)
I also think this pairs well with the ACSL ( https://anticapitalist.software/ ). Maybe “pairs” is an odd choice of words. But I find myself.. inspired by this idea that small, human things are the ray of sunshine that never faded out in the slopstorm.
