I am not completely against it, as long as the content is properly attributed.
I had a thought just this week on this topic. I still buy books and eBooks, and not all of them are worth the price tag.
At what point would AI generated content be enjoyable enough to a human, that it commoditizes any written material for entertainment purposes?
Not only written content and art, soon movies and programs (i.e. games, most are cookie cutter nowadays).
Why do we consume content? Boredom? Pass time? Or to learn something new?
The needs for the first two can be easily met by AI, if not now, soon enough.
Now back to HIVE content creation. If someone spent the time to generate and curate enjoyable AI content and post on HIVE, should we shun it? Do users not have the right to compensate whomever made their day better? (And not turn this into black and white, human vs machine, talented vs amateur)
There are so many examples of posts that are not “worth” the auto bot-curation value, and I would argue AI generated content could be more enjoyable and useful than those highly “rewarded” spams because they have high “reputation” or staked some tokens.
But at the end of the day, who is it to judge what “value” is worth to the person reading it?
My view of the future is not man or machine, it is man AND machine, coexist and exploit comparative advantages.
What people should perhaps consider in this regard, is what they find entertaining and what should be entertaining. Perhaps shared experience should once again take focus, rather than the continual dive into disconnection and isolation. We are giving up our right to call ourselves an intelligent species.
