"I don't take my own writing very seriously"
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.
