Friend, I'm afraid I have blacklisted you too, because you have started downvoting my posts. May I know why you engage in such evil acts? If you continue doing such things, a day will come when everyone blacklists you! I am still willing to remove you from my blacklist provided you give valid reasons for downvoting posts of others.

Ok...I like calling fellow members here as friend, so I will continue calling you so.
Ai is not always child's play...generating just the desired output is pretty challenging...I love taking such challenges..Ai is my special interest, it is one of my passions.i hope you have noticed there is an entire community here dedicated to ai telated content...
Since you took time to explain your DV, I have removed you from my blacklist now as promised...
And thanks for the couple of upvotes you gave a while ago! I won't take things personal from now...👍🙂

Thanks for promoting me from friend to acquaintance! 🙂
As regards credibility of an idea, well, it's highly subjective. What is stupid for you may be brilliant for another! As regards Ai art, I simply love it. It's like a role-play you see, I can't be a viking princess in reality but Ai art software helps me picturize myself as a viking princess, and share that vision with the world too as a photorealistic image! This is the power of Ai and its possibilities are endless! You just can't ignore it as something stupid.

If he's got you blacklisted he's not seeing your posts and comments.

Thanks!

Perhaps sooner than you think.

Some people are followers, and some people seek followers to increase their power. That's about all I know about trails, because I strongly discourage them because they are a form of automation of our social interactions, which replaces people in society with robots, and that destroys society.

we're having conversations with bots.

I have asked someone to quit replying to me with AI generated content and apologize, and when they didn't I stopped following them. It has been happening for some time, and it a lot harder to detect when folks edit the AI text. @blanchy recently posted about the Hive community being ~500 actual people, most of whom were sock puppeting dozens of accounts. I know of some users that had >10k accounts years ago, and today may approach 100k.

Absent a way to prevent automating interactions, society is not going to be comprised of people, and will no longer be society at all, since society is people, but an automated simulacrum of society, like an android is of a human being. What's the use of that? Making money? Money's value is just as illusory as automated social interactions.

Before he sold out Ned proposed reforming governance of Steem by dumping the plutocracy for 1a1v, and using oracles to exclude bots and sock puppets. He never detailed how oracles would work, so I have no idea how such would function.

I do not dislike automation. It's actually great, a tool that really is useful for jobs it is appropriate to, like spot welding hinges on car hoods in a factory, or spray painting cars after they're built. Painting is a very medically hazardous job, and automating it not only increases productivity but prevents terrible suffering from ghastly illness. But there are things automation is inappropriate for, like talking to our neighbors, having picnics, or conceiving our children. Those are things that only should be done by actual people.

A year or so ago I got accused of being AI myself with some regularity, because of how I express myself in writing, which some folks seem to think AI resembles. That quit happening for some reason. Maybe it was bots making the accusations and they gave up? I dunno.

The picture I use as an avatar is from New Guinea, around the turn of the 20th Century I think. I like the look in his eye, and he sorta resembles me in that sense.
