My Hivewatchers blacklist. My apology to the Hive community."

Hey Hive family,

So, I’ve got a little something to get off my chest, Deep breath. Remember some of the super insightful, brilliantly crafted post I have been dropping over the past few months on the Hive blockchain? Yeah, some of them that made you go, “Wow, this person really knows their stuff!”? Well… about that. 🙃

I used AI to help assist me in writing some of them . Cue dramatic gasp. Before you grab your pitchforks (or your keyboards, because let’s be real, sometimes we’re all too lazy to actual put in the work), let me explain. I didn’t set out to deceive anyone. I was just… stuck, You know those days when your brain feels like a browser with 47 open tabs, and none of them are loading making you feel like you have connectivity issues with your internet service provider? Yeah, that was me. I had all these ideas about contents I will like to share on the Hive’s decentralized magic blockchain, but my words were coming out like a toddler’s finger painting—messy and kinda nonsensical when I try to pour out my knowledge with the community.

So, I turned to my digital sidekick, Metal AI and ChatGPT. I thought, Hey, maybe it can help me organize my thoughts and sprinkle in some extra sparkle and it did. But here’s one thing I felt after dropping those Contents: as soon as I hit “publish, I felt… icky. Like I’d just served someone a store-bought cake and pretended I baked it myself claiming to be a baker. 🎂

The kicker is am still struggling to be a content creator. My whole illusion is I could fake authenticity using AI to assist in , creativity, and connecting with everyone in the hive blockchain. Using AI felt like I wasnt cheating— but that's not the case I was cheating on not just on the community , but on myself. Sure, the post got engagement, but it didn’t feel like me. It felt like I had outsourced my voice, and that’s not cool.

So, I’m sorry. Truly. I promise to keep it 100% real from here on out. No more AI crutches, no more digital ghostwriters. Just me, my chaotic brain, and my love for Hive. Because at the end of the day, this community is about trust, transparency, and, well, being human. And last I checked, AI isn’t great at cracking jokes about its caffeine addiction or rambling about blockchain like it’s a soap opera. Anyway, thanks for sticking with me through this awkward confession. I have been thinking and , brainstorming over the past 30 days thinking about how to actually tender this apology to the Hive community.

Here are some of the content where I used AI got creating the contents:
