This is also spin of 4 different sources, no personal opinions or analysis, yet it receives rewards

Sort: Β 

Yes. This is also an article that was spun using AI.

There are a lot of posts receiving rewards that were spun articles or/and using AI, and every time I came across one, I reported to HW. But I can't see them all. People are always trying the easy way to make money, right??

My opinion is that spun articles should not be used on Hive, it's plagiarism. You can have parts of an article, but you have to at least express your opinion about it. I heard a lot of "Proof of Brain" since I joined Hive.

The use of AI in posts is a controversial theme on Hive, I know most people is against. But I think AI should be allowed in a lot os cases, but not to spin articles.

Let's leave ai on a side, I'm referring to aseptic news hand written by yourself... if I want to report a news that happened, on hive, there isn't much ways to tell about it, if there is a terror attack I will say in a post what where and when and that it's bad, but it's not spin from other articles, it's a news, not much you can change... Not to say that if you search in Google for any news you will get 4-5 articles more or less the same content, but no one calls each other spin or plagiarism (and yes money is involved there with ads and subscribers) 🀷

First of all, it's not the case here. There was use of AI to spin the articles.

Now there are 2 ways of reporting news. You can read the info from different sources, then close them all, and write it from your head. Or you can start copying parts of existing news, change words, change order of phrases and paragraphs, just to make it look different. The first option will most likely pass any plagiarism test, the second won't.

Not to say that if you search in Google for any news you will get 4-5 articles more or less the same content, but no one calls each other spin or plagiarism (and yes money is involved there with ads and subscribers)

How do you know someone didn't call one of them plagiarism? How do you know someone didn't email the news office to complain about it?
Some corporations might find it OK to pay for plagiarism, but afaik on Hive it is frowned upon. If the rules here have changed, then it's fine! πŸ€·β€β™‚

I'm doing a general discussion, not on this specific user case

That seems a fair content for me, for any platform, being it hive, Facebook or whatever else

How do you know someone didn't call one of them plagiarism? How do you know someone didn't email the news office to complain about it?

And the list is endless, more or less same content, no one sue each other, because if you report facts that's it, you can't change them πŸ˜„

How can you be so sure no one sued each other? Maybe someone did and it's not going to be written in the article.
We could check one by one those links to see if the journalist wrote from his own head or paraphrased another article. Have you tried to read and find common phrases and text structure on all of them?

Let me bring you another situation.

Imagine a class with 100 students in a university. The professor assigns them a work to write an article with a certain subject. All 100 articles are talking about the same subject and somehow will look similar. But what if one student decided to paraphrase the sources given in class? Do you think the professor will notice? Or another situation, what if a student decided to take another students work and paraphrase it, do you think the professor will notice the similarities in both articles? What would the professor do?

Again, depends on the subject, if the task is on a historic event, most likely all work will be very similar... If it's the demonstration of a theorem, they will all be exactly the same. I did math tests on university, it was requested to write theorems, what you think it was written besides copy paste of the book?

If it's to solve a mathematic problem, or a programming problem, I can copy the work of someone else and slight change the passages, professor can't notice since the solution is one unique with forced steps

So not a great example

I'm sure you understood what I meant. Math is not subjective to opinions. I can't say that I think 2 + 2 can be 5.
