Our Stand
We are writers, artists, photographers, illustrators and music-makers who know human creativity can’t be replaced by any machine. We stand for creative over synthetic, genuine over counterfeit, real over fake. We fight for what is truly human.
We rise, together.
Principles
WE CREATE. MACHINES IMITATE.
Every human art has a story to tell.
The artist’s eye shapes the image. The writer’s finger guides the pen. The painter’s brush strokes the canvas. The potter’s hand moves the wheel. The musician’s ear tunes the strings.
Our mastery of craft is an artistic story that can’t replicated by any machine.
Choose human art: enjoy the story.
WE DESERVE REAL ART
Real art matters. The real thing always outshines imitations.
Your experience of art is part of the artistic story. You should have tools that let you see and hear the signs of genuine human art, so you can tell the difference.
Real artists tell the truth: certification helps us all.
REAL ART HAS REAL VALUE
Human artists should be paid for their work and their expertise. We own the worth of our art, and we should set the price. Companies must ensure creators are paid equitably for use of their art, including for ongoing derivative use.
Quality is worth the price.
TOGETHER WE FIGHT
Every human creator who stands up for the truth opens a door for the next.
Everyone who recognizes and encourages a human artist makes the world better.
Everyone who looks for proof of real art creates a more human world.
Stand with us.

MANIFESTO:
Our team also has a longer elaboration of these ideas in the form of a Manifesto of Principles. We invite you to Join Our Efforts and Fight for the Future.
HUMAN MANIFEST: We created the words on this page using only human agency.
If you’re interested in seeing our work, here are our rough drafts, in raw form.
