Quite interesting. There are some things here which are suspicious (the div/diva thing I could attribute to autocorrect, but the emojis and similar writing styles... not as much).
There are some users who have multiple accounts, even self-admitted, and I think that as long as none of it is plagiarized or repeated from account to account, there's nothing wrong with this. You can create multiple accounts on any social media website, and there's no reason to penalize that on Hive either.
Frankly, with this amount of activity, I'd be very impressed by someone who's able to create so much unique content. A big kudos if this is the same person doing it all - as long as it is all original.
he div/diva thing I could attribute to autocorrect,
This mistake was not just for one post, but for months in all three accounts (Iska/sabrina/edy) and they fixed this mistake on two of the post in the same day while on the third after a week. And never did it again. If it was just one or two posts then it could be a coincidence but if it was for 100s of posts?
There is nothing wrong with having multiple accounts. In some cases, it has many advantages. But if the multiple accounts are created just to deceive people and gain just rewards then it is an abuse, especially if they pretend to be someone else and then write spun-looking articles.
On the amount of activity. They have abandoned their @adystringz account a long time ago, the activity on @iskafan and @ikawrites have almost gone to zero now (as they are likely leaving Hive and powering down almost everything).
But while the activity on the above accounts went down the activity on her @sabrinah account went through the roof.
Ah, I see. The timing's rather coincidental there.
The use of multiple accounts to deceive people isn't good; however, I'm still on the fence if it's still involving production of unique content on each account. I'll copy something I wrote on another comment in this post:
"Reasoning, and I'm using the logic of HSBI's founder here: if someone is using AI to the degree that it's not easily detectable, then they'll put a substantial amount of time into learning the tool and using it to enhance their writing, which frankly takes at least as much effort as the writing itself. That's actually an admirable use of AI, especially if it improves the readability of the article."
I'd still like to see the retort of the users mentioned before I make a final decision. This is definitely a situation that's worthy of careful weighing.
You just got DOOKed! @freecompliments thinks your content is the shit. They have 6/80DOOK left to drop today.Learn all about this shit in the toilet paper! 💩
After a period of dormancy this account came forward while the active account didn't say a word after all this. Can you still not see it, Sir? (Let us wait more maybe @sabrinah will come back to reply)
And I am not against using AI to enchance your posts. But making multiple accounts to write with multiple accounts in the same community (keep in mind some of the communities have strict rules of posting just one post a day or posting from just one account, hence breaking those rules). Also, deceiving a lot of people with these accounts for months.
Both Edy and Iska have been caught using AI generated post around an year ago. Since then they managed to get off the AI detectors. But their post looked mostly AI or plaigiarised from websites but rewritten to avoid those online detectors. She is not a fool and knows a lot of stuff by now.
As for @lucidlucrecia, i'm just guessing, but as soon as she was contronted she started to power down all of her tokens in her wallet, so it looks like she is going to abandon that account. If so and I did tag her here, so she can weigh in, this is a vague admission of guilt in my eyes. She could also just feel it isn't worth the effort to defend herself. None of her content was groundbreaking nor was any of it personal in anyway, which also in my eyes points to her being a token farmer.
I'm not going to question the personal motivations (frankly, we're all here, to some degree, for the token aspect). I like that Hive gives people the freedom to use the platform in many different ways, even though my own usage is community-oriented.
Upon some reflection - and I have been thinking about this - if Lucrecia and Sabrina keep creating Threads, I think I'll curate and reward them normally. I see Threads as a different animal compared to, say, long-form blogging. AI-generated images, reposting images, reposting quotes, etc., etc., is all very normal behavior in traditional social media, even if not original. I still have a guideline to curate original content higher than the rest, so it ends up balanced.
When deciding the curation and rewarding of posts and comments, I'm still on the fence about the situation. I'll give it some further thought and see what Lucrecia and Sabrina say in response to this post.
I'm leaning towards the side of continuing curation and rewards. Reasoning, and I'm using the logic of HSBI's founder here: if someone is using AI to the degree that it's not easily detectable, then they'll put a substantial amount of time into learning the tool and using it to enhance their writing, which frankly takes at least as much effort as the writing itself. That's actually an admirable use of AI, especially if it improves the readability of the article.
Not a final decision yet... I'll give it a bit of time. Rewards are going to be delayed this month, even though I've collected the data and the funds lol!
I guess my point about LucidLucrecia is, if she's abandoning the account, why waste the rewards on it? Just give her a fair chance to respond and if she doesn't, give the rewards to someone more likely to use it. That person is not me, lol. Not saying they would go to me, but I don't and won't be blogging from this account, so hsbi is just wasted on me as well.
I recall reading that HSBI can sometimes be used on comments for select accounts which don't create posts, but do submit comments (as per the founder), but that may have to be negotiated with the founder. We'll see though. That bridge can be crossed if/when we get there.
We had this a long time ago, but there were too many issues with it. Presently there is no Hive SBI upvoting on comments. I have some ideas for how we could do it in the future (using community resources to upvote comments manually curated by signal accounts) but we are not actively working on it.

Fair enough, and thank you for linking this! Going to take a look.
What a crapshoot of a comment from iskawrites, sheesh 😂
Clearly some personal stuff going on there that's beyond my realm and interest...

@anonyi! @freecompliments Totally agrees with your content! so I just sent 1 IDD to your account on behalf of @freecompliments.

Asking the author whether they noticed repetitive or unattributed AI-generated content. If there is, then I'm going to taken direct, immediate action.

She has been awfully quite for some time now.

Ah, I see! Thanks for the update Joseph.
This is something I'm going to take into consideration through this joyous 🥴 process.
