The human.json Protocol: A System for Verifying Human Authorship on the Web
By
todsacerdoti
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The human.json protocol is a lightweight system that allows humans to assert authorship of their website content and vouch for the humanity of others. It addresses the problem of AI-generated content proliferation by creating a trust network where URL ownership serves as identity, and trust propagates through a crawlable web of vouches between sites. The protocol enables verification of human authorship in an increasingly automated web environment.
