It’s fraud to claim that something you’ve created was in fact machine generated.

In my opinion, keeping AI generated content off Hive helps to strengthen Hive’s use case to content creators and their audience.

Interestingly Google are already promoting the use of Bard to content creators - below is an email I received just last week.

I won’t be taking up the offer to trial Bard but I can imagine a lot of people will.

Ultimately the short term rewards you may benefit from will be replaced when anyone can create similar content to you with just the click of a button. Any genuine content creator will enjoy the creative process itself and ultimately audiences will be looking for unique, personal insight which AI can’t currently offer.

Well, I do understand your point of view and yes, I don't think it's fair that people can just make content with the click of a button but considering that;

AI is inevitable
AI content can be easily manipulated to human work by people like us
AI could be big business in the future.

Is it right to completely dissociate hive from AI?

I feel like we can find a middle ground for AI content in the same way platforms like Leothreads found a middle ground for short form content and how Liketu enables you to "publish" one picture on chain.

Perhaps prevent AI generated posts from earning on hive but allow visibilty since the information expressed is the opinion of the person that sends the bot the prompt. This way, we won't stifle the voices of people who rely on AI to share their opinion and this also alligns with the ethos of hive.
