Well once again I have an unpopular opinion that the problem with the bidbots wasn't that they existed, but the greed of the owners in a lack of setting any standards and limits in what they paid out for what posts. The thing about the bidbots is they were a real supply and demand solution, many had more HP than they needed and others wanted to purchase promotion, many social media products thrive on this model. But the bidbot owners refused to set any standards and thus were rightly killed. (It's the story of the Golden Goose)
I think some will use AI with or without rules, some will be falsely accused and others will get away with it. Just as with any other ambiguous sins on hive.
In my opinion one could never build an audience like Taraz, edicted, or taskmaster using AI, thus the problem is only as big as your fear makes it.
Well, I am confident that greed hasn't gone away. Several of the bidbot owners have joined the oligarchy of Hive, and I think that was the price of the bidbots going down.
That can't happen with AI. AI displaces people in content creation, and Hive as a community cannot coexist with AI usurping our sovereignty, taking over society.
What we have done to quell excessive automation and financialization on Hive so far has been reactive. We have used downvotes to demonetize fraud. I don't think that can work against AI, because we won't know where to fly those flags.
What we can do is eliminate opportunities for financialization and tailor rewards for human people that fraud isn't interested in.
We'll see.
Agree, we will see, it's still an interesting experiment. :)
