So what? These AI checker sites make money by trying to prove that every block of text is AI generated, they garner subscriptions this way, I have checked them myself in the past, quite often you can post newspaper articles into their input/check text boxes and it will come back as AI generated, it means nothing, there are tons of posts on reddit that show people how to get round AI checkers, its not difficult to evade them, but there is no need to use either these methods or their tools, as stated practically all text you paste into these things will come back as somewhat AI generated because they are incentivised to do so by them farming subscriptions from morons that think AI is some kind of infalable God.
You really are tiresome, do something constructive and help grow hive rather than being just yet another bitter internet troll.

This is also spin of 4 different sources, no personal opinions or analysis, yet it receives rewards
Yes. This is also an article that was spun using AI.
There are a lot of posts receiving rewards that were spun articles or/and using AI, and every time I came across one, I reported to HW. But I can't see them all. People are always trying the easy way to make money, right??
My opinion is that spun articles should not be used on Hive, it's plagiarism. You can have parts of an article, but you have to at least express your opinion about it. I heard a lot of "Proof of Brain" since I joined Hive.
The use of AI in posts is a controversial theme on Hive, I know most people is against. But I think AI should be allowed in a lot os cases, but not to spin articles.
Let's leave ai on a side, I'm referring to aseptic news hand written by yourself... if I want to report a news that happened, on hive, there isn't much ways to tell about it, if there is a terror attack I will say in a post what where and when and that it's bad, but it's not spin from other articles, it's a news, not much you can change... Not to say that if you search in Google for any news you will get 4-5 articles more or less the same content, but no one calls each other spin or plagiarism (and yes money is involved there with ads and subscribers) π€·
First of all, it's not the case here. There was use of AI to spin the articles.
Now there are 2 ways of reporting news. You can read the info from different sources, then close them all, and write it from your head. Or you can start copying parts of existing news, change words, change order of phrases and paragraphs, just to make it look different. The first option will most likely pass any plagiarism test, the second won't.
How do you know someone didn't call one of them plagiarism? How do you know someone didn't email the news office to complain about it?
Some corporations might find it OK to pay for plagiarism, but afaik on Hive it is frowned upon. If the rules here have changed, then it's fine! π€·ββ
I'm doing a general discussion, not on this specific user case
That seems a fair content for me, for any platform, being it hive, Facebook or whatever else

And the list is endless, more or less same content, no one sue each other, because if you report facts that's it, you can't change them π
How can you be so sure no one sued each other? Maybe someone did and it's not going to be written in the article.
We could check one by one those links to see if the journalist wrote from his own head or paraphrased another article. Have you tried to read and find common phrases and text structure on all of them?
Let me bring you another situation.
Imagine a class with 100 students in a university. The professor assigns them a work to write an article with a certain subject. All 100 articles are talking about the same subject and somehow will look similar. But what if one student decided to paraphrase the sources given in class? Do you think the professor will notice? Or another situation, what if a student decided to take another students work and paraphrase it, do you think the professor will notice the similarities in both articles? What would the professor do?
Even if this was not AI generated, or plagiarism. I think this is bad content, and actually brings bad reputation for Hive in all those millions of views.
I'm not a reddit guy, but I can imagine it's the same in all social medias, and the only social media I still consume is IG. Sometimes when I'm scrolling I see some catchy thumbnail on a video that I can't resist and I click, that user got a view. In the end it's just some smart ass that created a thumbnail that gets a lot of views, but the real content is disappointing.
The posts on @kur8 account are very small, usually only 2-3 paragraphs, with a very superficial talk about the theme. I bet they are disappointing to the user that ended up there. Like you said in your first answer, you learned your ways well in the platform (reddit), and over time you learned what, how and where to get attention. You create a catchy title, but when the user clicks it, there only a very small piece of information. Just an article that looks AI generated or spun. I wonder what those users that end up here think about this place, do they stay and read other articles?
You are of course entitled to your opinion, but that's precisely what it is, your opinion.
You don't get to decide what other people find interesting, I have quite a few reddit posts for hive with over a million views with engagement, so it's clear that the rest of the world finds some of my work interesting, perhaps the problem is on you, have you ever considered that before you rant and rave and post your opinion like its concrete fact as if you are speaking on behalf of the world?
You are very tedious and I have better things to do than to argue with your bloated sense of self-importance - as stated, go do something constructive and positive with your life, because this is pathetic! π
millions of views means catchy, not interesting.
your post that got 451k views and got 1st place this week got deleted from reddit.
that same post, even though having 451k views, has only a handful of replies, and you never replied to any of the users.
for you this is clearly just a farming game... who get more views, no matter what it costs
Not interesting TO YOU, as stated, you are not capable of taking a step back from yourself and considering the millions of people who clearly disagree with your baseless assessment of the work I create, if you think you can do better, do so, in every way, do better.
Now stop wasting your time and mine and go do something positive rather than trying to tear someone else down, however badly the attempt!
We will be updating the rules around what is acceptable to be shared in the near future, please refrain from repeating the shares of such questionable OC posts for the time being.
@x-rain will write about the changes in the next contest post most likely.
millions of people opened your catchy title
the post got deleted from reddit
451k views and only 15 replies?? a lot of people really liked it! sure if thats what you think, it's your opinion. You are also entitled to an opinion!
