“celebrating 1 year of natural intelligence” please press the B key to initiate celebration
Are you fed up with "Artificial Intelligence", or Large Language Models and Text-to-Image-Models, as these boondoggles are properly called? Tired of hearing about our world being delivered or destroyed by some messianic or apocalyptic conception of "AI" that's perpetually just around the corner - while in the meantime, we're stuck in the real world with useless, autocomplete-tier AIs that make garbage that sucks?
More importantly, are you sick of seeing this nonsense pop up everywhere - of seeing the Web polluted by machine-generated drivel, of seeing idiots the world over go 'gosh' and 'wow' at meaningless pastiches because they've never appreciated a real work of art and don't understand why others do? Sick of no points of view, no skill, no originality, no creativity, no value? You're not alone.
So let's get that nonsense out of here and acknowledge that human creativity is fundamentally irreplaceable. There's no room in a serious society for this AI crap, the eulogy of which will soon be sung by a bunch of people who will pretend they never fell for the upsell. Couldn't be us - the sites on this ring don't bother with AI. No machine slop, no overhyped fairystories. Want nothing to do with AI? Believe that human creativity is a miracle? The no ai webring is for you!
Now fair enough, if you're discussing the horrors of AI it may be acceptable to show some AI slop, like pictures of a crime scene in a court of law - as long as you're arguing against it. Whatever else comes up is at my discretion but as they say, human expression has many facets and it takes all sorts.
Still want to join? Great! Apply by filling in the form below, including a unique 3 letter code of your choosing that will identify your site on the ring. I need your (nick)name and email address only to contact you, they won't ever be published.
If your site fits the bill, I'll add it to the ring and send you a confirmation. I'm quick, so watch your inbox (and spam filter)!
Once you've been accepted (or before), you can add the ringlinks to your site - doesn't have to be the homepage, just somewhere that's easy to find. To get ringlinks and widget codes, input your chosen code here and hit the button:
Style them however you fancy, including the name: No AI Webring, THE NO A.I. WEBRING, it's all good. I've also made some widgets that you're free to use and modify. If you grab one and get bored with it, you can always switch to another one, or even use multiple widgets simultaneously.
Note on Neocities sites: the code provided here may show up as faulty in Neocities' HTML editor; the fault, however, is in the editor, and the code is good. Please ignore the little ⚠s.
Note on resizing: if you resize any of the image widgets, the buttons will not work properly unless you manually recalculate the values in the coords="" fields.
Note on widget placement: please don't make widgets scroll or move around in any way. It makes it difficult to click the links - we're all about accessibility here.
Here's a list of all 494 (470 active) members of the no ai webring. Some sites are currently skipped over in the ring - these sites are listed in dark gray with a if they don't have their links in place or in light gray with a if they are down.
Below, find the total and average number of times that previous, random and next clicks were registered during the past month, the average displayed as a dashed line. Days are only added to the calculation once they're over.
Here's that same metric displayed in a 10 day moving average starting at the first measurement. 20 January 2025 is shown as a black line, as on that day I implemented a bot filter; this is the cause of the subsequent dip in the numbers.
