NoAIDecember is a community initiative that challenges participants to spend one month exploring their creativity and productivity without artificial intelligence tools.
It's not anti-AI; it's about giving AI a rest for a month and remembering what's important.
During December, participants pledge to step back from AI assistants, generators, and tools, instead relying on their own capabilities and human collaboration.
This includes common AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Copilot, and the thousands of other tools coming out everyday.
For those wanting to take an extreme challenge, we are suggesting avoiding webinars, blog posts, and articles about AI.
There is only one rule — NO AI tools during December.
The focus should be on using your RI (Real Intelligence)
This site was made with some AI tools on November 27, 2024.
If you like the idea — share it! #noaidecember
NoAIDecember isn't about permanently abandoning AI—it's about gaining perspective. By taking a month-long pause, participants can better understand both the benefits and limitations of AI tools, ultimately leading to more mindful and balanced integration of these technologies in their lives.
Join us in this experiment in digital mindfulness and human potential. Together, we'll explore what it means to create, think, and collaborate in purely human ways.
