I am so blissfully ignorant in my diminutive sector of hive. I don't think I've encountered more than two AI generated articles (one was stated as such and was surrounded by some preamble where the person was basically messing around with it to see how good it was, the other I was uncertain about and skipped over it with no interaction), if there's been more I've been thoroughly fooled. Figured if it was a "problem" on the art side then it would be elsewhere too (it was only really a "problem" in OCA where it's not allowed, they're redirected to communities where it's accepted).
I remember telling someone in a discussion about this a long time ago (I think on G+ or maybe Diaspora, not sure) that I wouldn't care if AI "took my job" or was even more capable than I was of producing stories, I would continue doing so because I like doing so. I guess that only works on a creative front though, would be completely different from a purely job perspective.
Though I guess we're long overdue to be rethinking that too :)
I think it depends on what accounts you are reading. As we have known for years, @meesterboom is 110% a bot - one of the early versions obviously.
I wonder if this is the case though. As you said, rethinking might be necessary because for many, they saw it in a future way down the track, not a few years. We have to rethink value of all things anyway - just add it to the list :)
I don't always get off my following feed (I do try). I'm reasonably sure they're all intelligent XD
Though if the AI ever gets to the stage where it's actually intelligent enough and we can be actual friends with it, what do we call it rather than artificial? Maybe they'll name themselves.
Uuuuuugggghhhhhh the list is already soooooooo looooooooooonnngggggg XD
Me either. I worry about the intelligence of some still! :D
"Uuuuuugggghhhhhh" might be one of the names
LoL XD
Though vaguely along those lines, amusingly enough one of my main concerns with AI gaining proper sentience/sapience/intelligence/some combination of the above is not that they'll go Skynet on us but that they'll go angry teen/young adult who realises that their parents have actually screwed them up through ignorance/unwillingness to learn/"good enough for me is good enough for you" mentality/general cba/etc.

Bahahahhahaaa xD
