My most recent post on whales and rebuilding my life came 100 percent from my head and registers as more than half AI.
You are a cyborg maybe? 😂
In all seriousness though AI generated content is still in it's infancy and is quite easy for most humans of average education to detect. The constant repetition and nonsensical sentences are a dead give away.
Having said that. I do recall the early voice to typing programs that appeared in the 90's and even though they were 80-90% accurate it was glaringly obvious that it was flawed. Fast forward to today. Voice typing is excellent making very few errors.
I think the same principle applies to today's issue with AI generated content. If we don't take a position on AI now. In a few years time it will be goodnight nurse for all writers or 'content creators' (I hate that label)
There are plenty of examples of video content bots already in existence namely on YouTube and it baffles me that they get millions of subscribers and views...of course these can also be faked...for a price.
The video content comes from video libraries like storyblocks but after a few months we started seeing the same clips in multiple videos. All of those channels were subsequently demonetized. It's been going on for at least 5 years and has already been killed off largely but not fully.
AI is great as a tool to help us think more creatively but it should not be used in and of itself.
It goes against the primary ethos of Hive. Self sovereignty and free speech.
Trying to control how technology evolves is niave.
But I do agree it goes against what most Hive users want to see.
I take a different approach and I know it is because I don't take writing seriously. I take the approach of a consumer which is.. if it is interesting and relevant, I don't care how you made it or how long it took you, or even how many words it has.
I know my views are not inline with those who consider content creation an art. Again, likely because I don't take my own writing very seriously

I'm not suggesting that we ban AI but rather be honest about what created a particular piece of content.
It may be a beautiful image, music or text whatever it is. It must have an attribution to the AI that created it and not passed off as an individual's work. That's just straight up plagiarism.
Setting up an AI bot to create and post content is not really the problem. Is it going to grow the platform or harm it... is the real question.
In my experience as someone who has been in the computer industry since the early 1980's no one can control technology... until they do.
AI is a tool much like any program. GiGO.
I think people are over AI already to be honest.
AI art has a definite 'look' to it. Generic.
The learning data seems heavily influenced by 70's hippie posters. 😂👍🏼
I thought it seemed highly influenced by reading it an encyclopedias and a boring one at that.
It also seems to have read or been fed a lot of Marketing Material.
It's a long way from perfect but give it 5 years and it'll be something to contend with in terms of reliability and quality of prose if they are allowed to update the machine learning.
The most common AI's in public use today had the machine learning functions stopped a couple of years ago.
Have you tried the Bing AI? Fucking nightmare lol
I haven't tried the bing one! I guess I should.

But I think you take society very seriously. Project forward what will happen to the social interaction of people on Hive when AI is producing all the content. Will we be content in the comment section of AI blogs?
I hope we don't find out.
I truly think we are a very long way from that, as many people find just typing their thoughts out very easily and I would even go so far to say that artificial screams for quality in fact are what would lead people to do such a thing.
Months, maybe. It's already been ongoing for a long time. There are users on Hive with ~10k accounts that have long been milking bots. The increase in the quality of the AI posting will accelerate the process, hopefully making it egregious and even more noxious, so that we become willing to do something about it that will work.
PoS cares about neither. There is a reason Hive is shrinking, and financialization in the face of gradually increasing UBI is it.
Regarding AI failing to create nominal content, things have changed recently.

They're going to change more, and faster.
Agreed this is just the beginning of this brave new world but I suspect that people will get bored with it once they realise it's limitations.
I took a look at the art link. Not impressed tbh. Pretty generic examples but if it helps people to create something new that is a good use of AI.
PoS is incapable of human emotions like caring. We care about such things and we decide what we want to do with our PoS.
Freedom of expression is a key part of decentralization.
Without free speech humanity is finished.
