About 60 years ago, Bulat Okudzhava, a famous Russian bard, wrote a song about fools, which comes to mind when many commentators ask to mark texts written without the help of AI.

In his ballad, Okudzhava suggests that to protect us from the stupid ones, every wise person should have a label. In this case, it would be a note that a human wrote the text.

The text of the song with English translation:

Булат Окуджава - Песенка о дураках

It would be great if any Russian speakers on Medium can bring a better translation or find a video of Bulat singing this song.
