John Graham-Cumming’s blog: Low-background Steel: content without AI contamination

Somehow I forgot to blog my site: https://lowbackgroundsteel.ai/. I created it back in March 2023 as a clearinghouse for online resources that hadn’t been contaminated with AI-generated content. 

Low-background Steel (and lead) is a type of metal uncontaminated by radioactive isotopes from nuclear testing. That steel and lead is usually recovered from ships that sunk before the Trinity Test in 1945. The site is about uncontaminated content that I’m terming “Low-background Steel”. The idea is to point to sources of text, images and video that were created prior to the explosion of AI-generated content that occurred in 2022.

It currently contains pointers to a Wikipedia dump from prior to the release of ChatGPT, the Arctic Code Vault, Project Gutenberg, and more.

If you know of other sources of non-contaminated content plus submit them!
