From where I am sitting, your post is about something many of sense but perhaps don't want to speak up about... for fear of getting shouted down: Cheating."
I also read about things like this and it feels like a nail in the coffin of the idea of the "Internet of PEOPLE."
The AI thing is like that element of gaming (at least in the past) where an exciting new game comes to market and the first thing a whole segment of users do is not PLAY the game, but head off in search of cheat codes.
AI on Hive — whether for posts or comments — feels like using cheat codes to arrive at whatever you're doing. I can't help but ask "What's even the POINT?"
Of course, the point is trying to get money for nothing... and we're right back at cheating.
And yes, I feel somewhat strongly about this.
