Neocities.org

As if the creator of this host site would be interested in using AI for something as intricate as web design and HTML/CSS coding.

...yeah... I kinda agree with this I'm sorry y'all, if AI gets implemented and scrapes stuff I'll leave but it doesn't seem to be happening now or planned. hope not at least

If you read what is stated on the home page, you'll find the reasons why this petition started and why there are people signing it. Just stating that something isn't the case and will never be seems to be glossing over if not outright ignoring that.

which is funny because there has already been AI on the site in the past and the idea is only "on hold" as of 3 months ago.

@meowco they already have implimented it in the past

As for how the petition works: signatures end January 18th 2025, signatures get sent to Kyle Drake on January 19th or 20th.

... So at the end of the day, it's still up to Kyle to manage his webhost how he wants. Got ittttttt

Like I'm not meaning to sound mean here, but this literally makes no difference, Kyle Drake already knows most people don't want AI on Neocities.

If the petition does well and Kyle decides to ignore it and add AI back anyways, there will likely be even more of a migration from this site to alternatives and self hosted webservers. You are correct that Kyle gets that final say on the matter however it's not really a wise idea to ignore something like this if you don't want to upset your community.

my question in all of this is who even uses the built-in neocities editor enough to be upset about this? i didn't even know kyle had introduced one because i haven't opened up the built-in editor since... 2018 maybe?

So far there has been 39 people who have signed the petition so at the very least? 39. Keep in mind that number is growing pretty fast.
