I am not a fan of complete or total automatic and I believe this is because the world is already mindless in many ways, and developing more technology that leans toward automation undermines the concept of ingenuity.
For example, I saw a particular film where a guy was generating love messages for someone he cared about, and he did this for a very long time. Morning and night, he would use his AI to generate creative love texts and send them to her, and one day, she discovered this technology and decided to end the relationship.
Now, does using AI imply that the guy does not love the girl? Of course he did. In fact, if there was anything, he began using it because he wanted to impress the girl, and two, he did not have much time on his hands at the time, so he wanted to do something extraordinary, and he succeeded.
Now, should not the girl be happy despite the fact that this guy had to work around the clock and still had time to text her? There was no doubt about the guy's intention; in fact, his ability to be productive was multiplied; he did his job and made his woman happy; who cares if he used AI? Apparently, the girl cared.
We can achieve a lot through automation, but can originality be completely replicated?
Nowadays, people want to write the perfect job application letter, the perfect business proposal, and even find the perfect answers to questions, and we do not want to leave any room for error, so we just want slap perfection for every need for improvement and betterment.
In reality, I believe automation should have its own industry; there are sectors and situations where automation is unavoidable and necessary, and the margin for human error cannot be tolerated, but we cannot apply it to almost every situation and opportunity.
The Hive Ecosystem
For example, consider the Hive ecosystem. Splinterlands has long had a divided player base due to the issue of the availability of bots to fight battles and compete. How real players are frustrated that bots are taking over the system and stealing their rewards.
Aside from the rewards, many players dislike the idea of playing against robots because they believe it is less exciting than playing against a real person.
Now, there are people who genuinely benefit from using these bots, in the sense that they can run their lives while still playing the game, and those who simply pump thousands of bots to cheat and take advantage of the SPS reward pool.
On Hive, there are also differing views on the issue of using AI for content generation. I know someone who argued that because he paid for the bot's services, he is well qualified to earn on Hive with the content it generates, and while he may not be entirely wrong, I believe he forgot that stakeholders have the right not to reward him for the content. I believe it boils down to acceptance.
Automation is not the problem; acceptance is
While some may argue that morality cannot prevent automation's impending dominance, I believe that in a place like Hive, the personal determinant of the reward pool on individual stakeholders is one of the primary reasons why automation may not fully take hold.
I read a post by DALZ today about the list of accounts on Hive that write the longest posts, and I believe more than 60% are automated or repetitive posts. Simply put, we cannot exceed our human limitations. When we put originality on the table, it is easy to tell what is original and what isn't.
People are looking for ways to make AI-generated content look more human and original; in other words, they want AI-generated content to appear as if it was done naturally rather than inorganically. It just does not make sense to me why we want something to be AI while also wanting it to appear natural.
