What good is a certification/logo? That means they passed whatever proxy was used. Smells like a cash grab, as most certifications are or become.We'd need proof with a verifiable supply chain.

Somebody in the article mentions that it's a spectrum, not a binary, and she's right: you can't call it AI-free if your product is human-made but all the marketing is AI slop.I thought EEVBlog's Dave Jones had a good idea for exactly this kind of problem when advertising open source hardware [0]: a logo that clearly showed which parts were open.

Same economics as organic food labeling imo. Starts as a genuine quality signal, turns into a price premium, gets gamed until the certification means nothing.The harder problem will be (or already is) that most products will be partially AI-assisted and a binary label can't really capture "we used AI for the layout but a human drew every illustration." Good luck defining that boundary tbh.
