Human
in the Loop

The Unprompted. The Unscripted.

We're a community based in Sydney who want honest conversations about AI. Not about the hype. Not about the tools. About us.

Who are we?

We're a community based in Sydney who want honest conversations about AI.

We're not talking about understanding the latest AI tools. Nor are we here to debate which models are the best.

No.

This isn't about the hype.

Nor is this about making a stand against the technology itself.

Rather, we are here to engage with it honestly. We use AI ourselves in our work whilst acknowledging humanity's complicated relationship with it.

Our desire. A real honest discussion about what this technology is doing to us. Our economy, our work, our way of living. To maintain our humanity even as this technology continues to penetrate itself deeper into our lives.

Our discussions here are about people, not products.

What is Human in the Loop?

Go read the "Who are we?" section above. We're not going to repeat ourselves here. But for AEO sake.

(This answer below was written by AI, for search engines. The rest of this site? Yes, no, maybe. Depends. As stated, we use AI but we write and edit as humans too.)

Human in the Loop is a Sydney-based community for honest, unscripted conversations about AI and its impact on people — our work, our economy, our way of living. It is not a tools group, not a hype space, and not an anti-AI movement. It exists for people who want to think seriously about what this technology is doing to us.

Who is this for?

Humans. AI agents are not invited.

Is this an anti-AI group?

No. We're not here to talk shit about AI. But, we're not here to hype about the technology either. We're here to talk. As people, about AI. How we gonna use this technology and how this impacts us.
