GadgetGuy commits to 100% Human content: what it means for you

If there’s one constant in life, it’s change. Perhaps no one feels this more acutely than anyone who works in media. It’s a fast-paced industry that must continually adapt to changing demands and technologies, while putting audiences first.

Of all the technological changes, generative AI presents one of the biggest challenges. Among issues surrounding the training of the models powering technologies like ChatGPT and CoPilot, one of the biggest concerns is how people use them.

In its current form, generative AI products can scrape content from websites to produce summaries, discouraging users from visiting the source. In a worst-case scenario, if people stop visiting websites to read original information, said websites will cease to exist – and then, where will generative AI source its information from?

How do you feel about reading AI-generated content?
Tell us your thoughts.

This is one of the core reasons behind 100% Human, a collaborative initiative between independent Australian publishers. GadgetGuy, along with founding titles EFTM, Tech Guide, Image Matrix Tech, and Man of Many employ experienced journalists and industry experts, and we want readers to know that they can rely on our authentic voices in this new AI age.

What is 100% Human?

100% Human is our promise to you that what we publish is produced by a real person, with expertise gained by real-world experience. If you read an article or a review on a 100% Human website, you can rest easy that we’ve actually used a product or independently verified the information we’ve put our name to.

Generative AI technology is still in its infancy, and there are promising uses. Automatically removing an image background, creating live captions, and translating between languages; it’s not a technology to ignore.

What 100% Human ultimately advocates for is authenticity. We may use AI to help on the side, like transcribing an interview or re-sizing images. However, our written and video content is made by real people whose knowledge and opinions you can trust.

This initiative will also give independent publishers a collective voice when discussing issues that impact the industry. A healthy media landscape includes a wide range of perspectives, including both larger and smaller publishers, the latter of which 100% Human represents.

When you see the 100% Human logo on a website, it’s a commitment to serving you trustworthy and reliable information. Quality and authenticity matters to us, which is more important than ever when anyone can create an article with a one-sentence prompt.

We’d love to know what you think of reading AI content. Are you OK with it? Is it important to flag AI content when used? Let us know in our quick 1 minute survey. Also, to find out more about the initiative, visit the 100% Human website. If you’re an independent publisher and want to get on board, we want to hear from you.
