I DO NOT support AI generated text as Hive post

Lately there have been a proliferation of Artificial Interlligence generated text in hive. I am actually surprised why it took so long for hive farmers to catch on! Since at hive we get rewarded for text content as blog, and the fact we are relatively small (anything and everything gets voted, some to obnoxious amounts), it is rather easy to generate AI content at hive day in and day out like clockwork. However, I must say AI generated content is NOT original content. Therefore, I will personally try and not support such content. I will also personally try and remove rewards from such content.

Due to the decentralized nature of hive, I have no authority of telling what hive can or can not do. It is upto the community to decide. However, I can make my thinking visible and I can also request and lobby for the cause to other hive stakeholder so that they do not support AI generated content.

How do we detect

Often, a lot of people who are leaning towards AI generated content are not native English speakers. In that case it is rather easy to figure out the unsual usage of certain words. This is simply because AI learns and it is very good, but it is still biased towards the input.

Community does have a couple of AI detection tools are are working behind the scenes. I am not going to tell what are they and who are behind it. I will only tell you that they are rather good, and have a very high success rate of detection.

My personal views are simple. If someone is smart enought to resort to AI generated content and posting for rewards, all they care for is money. In that case all they deserve is downvote. That said, there are certain gray area where I have seen people use AI generated art, but original writing to support that art and produce excellent content. I am okay with that. Again this is my personal opinion, and I am making it abundantly clear.

I am NOT going to discuss why I am doing it, because that discussion will not go anywhere. I am just telling you this is what I am going to do. You can do research on why it is not acceptable.
