Manifesto

We live in an era where creativity is starting to disappear more and more each day. The Internet is not supposed to be a bland, lifeless world. It needs to be chaotic. Colorful. Innovative. Real. Most importantly, it needs to be ours. The concept of individuality is fading away as it battles against forces such as AI. It's not too late, though. While AI is becoming a powerful threat indeed, we can still fight against it. The fact that you're here, on this very page, shows that you have not yet forgotten the true purpose of the web. Take a look at any of the millions of sites hosted on Neocities. Every page, every line of code, every imperfection, all of it serves as a reminder that the Internet is ours to claim, and we will not give it up that easily. You can join the cause, even if it's not online. You can sit down right now and make your own site, write a book, create a beautiful piece of artwork, do something that condemns everything AI "stands" for. Just create something.

Don't let a machine take over it for you.



"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."
