:-D
Have you met any AI with goals of its own yet? I haven't. But if an AI would develop with "wants" and purpose, it would still need to get people to vote its posts.
I mean, we had heajin and ranchorelaxo even before AI. There is no need for AI to have reward pool abuse. You are clearly losing sight of the forest for the big and scary AI tree
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
My concern is not with AI becoming sentient and creating Hive accounts to make money. AI is just a tool for humans to use. My concern is unscrupulous actors using this tool en masse, and it being indiscernible from any other content.
This concern has far reaching effects that go beyond a small % of the reward pool being drained. There will be a path of least resistance most users will take if there is no barrier. This also assumes Hive grows as well, but maybe if we stay stagnant we'll have nothing to worry about.
Valid concern. Very valid concern. But you jump to conclusions. I strongly disagree with your conclusions from the title: "blog rewards will need to go". That is a "cure" infinitely worse than the disease. Basically it's "killing the patient to stop the disease".
You are mentioning a "barrier". This is the right direction to look into: how to create barriers to prevent or at least mitigate the risks. Not dismantling the whole system
I don't want to burn down the house to kill the termites, I want to expose the damage and do a remodel to build it better and make it resilient against termites.
Starting this ball in motion right now is our only hope. Getting the discussion so we can determine what needs to be shored up. My title "blog rewards will need to go" was intentionally provocative, but if I'm being honest it should have read "blog rewards will need to go to the second layer".
In 3-5 years, it is predicted AI will be able to write novels on par with the best authors alive. This is going to disrupt TV, movies, journalism, and blogging. I'm not sure if moving things to L2 will fix this, but I do know leaving it on L1 is a recipe for disaster. There will be no consensus, user experience will be abysmal, and those who stick around will be taking the path of least resistance (except for @nonameslefttouse of course).
Was that a compliment? lol
