I think you hit the nail on the head, deception. That for me is the central issue. Use AI if you wish but declare it.

And when deceivers do not declare it, but deceive?
There has long been bot posts making people money on Hive, since before it was Hive.
AI will not be a problem if Hive is not merely a financial mechanism, because fraud is a financial technique. Hive is fundamentally a human society, and we have substituted financial value for human values of far more import to people, because that was easier.
Hive needs to be better now, because the environment has become more rigorous. We need to enable Hive to reward more fundamental human values than mere money, because if we don't AI will make Hive worthless to people, like bidbots almost did.
I don't know! Perhaps we become experts at recognising AI-produced content just as we did the 'spun' articles that were all the rage a few years ago.
Agreed, but if you remove the financial element it kills the Hive idea stone dead or turns it into something else entirely., but I have no solution to offer.
If everyone just stopped blindly upvoting and rewarding content by rather actually reading first what they're going to upvote to truly figure out if the content which was "curated" was effortlessly crafted or not by an AI or any other "smart" tool, I bet AI generated content wouldn't be a problem at all for anyone.
Because quite frankly, no one reads shit here or no one wants to read shit before upvoting. };)
Good point. Agreed. And I do!
Yes, a very valid point.
I remember back on "Hive 1.0" there was a significant movement trying to emphasize the community as being part of "The Internet of PEOPLE" rather than "The Internet of INFORMATION." I have supported that notion since I started blogging, in 1998. As you undoubtedly know, a "blog" is a "web log" and was originally about people sharing the stories of their lives.
To be honest, I don't blame Hive for ending up largely as a financial mechanism. That's a systemic issue for the entire Cryptosphere... the original ideals of creating a trustless global decentralized financial system was largely usurped by conventional Wall Street greed and thoughts of "Wen Moon and wen Lambo?" Hive is pretty much just its own microcosm within that paradigm...
Not saying that to let anyone off the hook; just observing the greater environment.
So yes, we need to do better.
