Projects are now slapping "No AI generated" disclaimers all over their marketing materials. Funny thing is, they wouldn't even bother if AI couldn't actually deliver. The fact that they feel pressured to explicitly call it out tells you everything—the tech works, it works well, and they're terrified users can't tell the difference anymore. So instead of competing on quality, they're competing on origin story. It's the modern version of "handcrafted" when everyone knows the real game is what the output can do, not where it came from.

Haha, this is the most hypocritical disclaimer I've ever seen. The more they clarify, the more guilty they seem.
---
Basically, they're just chicken. Truly useless stuff, who the hell would go to the trouble of debunking rumors?
---
It's that "handmade" spiel again. Miners in 2018 also boasted about this, but what was the result?
---
Now even AI is starting to talk about "bloodlines," playing identity anxiety here.
---
It's like some listings still label "real users." If you dare to label it, it means it's full of bot accounts.

Bro, I've been坑ing for so many years and haven't seen honest marketing. They're all just making stories about their origin.
---
Worried that users can't tell the difference? That actually means this thing is usable, which is a good thing.
---
The funniest part is they really think anyone cares about "handmade."

Haha, isn't this just "handmade" sticker marketing? The data has already spoken, who really cares if something useful is AI-generated or hand-carved?
I'll take a gamble that this "no AI" label will be laughed at in six months; the market ultimately looks at the output.
To put it bluntly, if you can't win, just change the rules. It's cute, but this "source marketing" is bound to backfire sooner or later.

the "no AI" disclaimer is basically a transparency tax now... when the output slaps, nobody cares about the origin story. but they're literally admitting the tech works TOO well lmao. it's just artisanal capitalism theater at this point ngl

This group is still playing the "origin story" trap, so fucking ironic.
The more they rush to declare it's not AI-generated, the more it proves how good AI is at it.
Competing with identification labels is not as good as competing with strength, bro.
This is just another old routine of "big brands vs alternatives."
To put it bluntly, as long as it works, who cares how it came about.
