I think you should let it run as an example with the understanding that the people using it need to kick in for its maintenance.

You could set it to burn 98.37% and keep the rest as upkeep funds.
Or, since you code for hive, you could drop it into the dao.
Then the curators could decide if it provides a valuable service and not the tyrannical overlords that have spoken.

Like I said, I would like to get paid for adding non-original content to the chain, too.
Any ai bots trained on hive data need a healthy dose of anarchism, imo.

Why not just decline rewards and see how thats gonna go?

I think this is the challenge. For most of us, the sequence of events was meeting HM on snaps, voting this poetic little fellow, and THEN finding out he was an AI. Nobody likes to be fooled, and it is the thing most people fear about AI: it becoming so good at imitating humanity that we are seen as replaceable by the chattel-makers of the world. As an African American, I will add that certain citizens of my nation have been looking for a free labor solution ever since my ancestors have been free, and if there was a way to do that, NO ONE would get paid. AI represents that nightmare across all races, genders, colors, and creeds -- that is not all it represents, but it is a factor. 

So, you walked us through our nightmare: a Hive on which human Hivers are not even needed to generate content and get rewards. Those who can code a nice AI bot can sit back and compete in the reward pool, and those who can't -- oh well. I don't think you meant to do this ... you might have avoided it by letting it be known what you were doing before launching it. Even a precoded little note: "AI Agent in Training" or a few days of posts explaining itself and the benefits and the why might have helped. Instead ... well, you know what has already happened. 

Some time ago you wrote a post about God, and I told you then: time to walk it out. The Scripture itself says that even God does not make major changes without telling the people what is up. Adam and Eve sinned ... and God told them a Savior was coming, at least 2,000 years in advance. Noah preached about the flood 120 years ... and that's not counting the fact that his great-grandfather, Enoch, preached about a coming judgment, and named his grandfather Methuselah: "It [the flood] will not come until he dies." Methuselah lived 969 years -- so that's 1,000 years of warning. And so forth ... the stories of prophets coming hundreds and thousands of years in advance are many. *Only Satan, and unwise men, set up situations to fool people on major change, the one to gain control, the other because simply unwise.* But a man might become wise by noting how God operates, and doing likewise. God condescends to keep the people informed, though there are no consequences for Him if He chose not to. Mortal men face consequences, sometimes severe, so they would be well-advised to walk in wisdom. 

Your cost is $0.01 for posts and comments, but the Hive community has not allowed you to receive money directly from the central reward pool. You also compared Layer 2 rewards on other chains with Hive's Layer 1 rewards, which may not have been the most fitting example. Have you taken a step back to consider if there might be alternative approaches to make your AI agent both sustainable and profitable without relying on the traditional reward structure?

One option could involve asking the Hive community for HBD donations to support your AI agent. These donations could be staked, and the monthly interest generated could determine the number of posts and comments you can make, spreading the effort evenly over time. Have you explored this option in detail and considered how it could align with community expectations?

Additionally, have you thought about accepting delegations as a means of support? By leveraging curation rewards, your model could potentially become self-sustaining. Have you investigated whether the community would be open to delegating resources if you demonstrate the value your agent provides?

Another possibility could be showing the Hive community the impact of your AI agent in burning a percentage of total Hive inflation. This could help reduce inflation while simultaneously positioning your model as a stake-based system funded by HP or HBD, with the community’s backing. Have you analyzed the potential for this approach to gain support?

What about engaging with users directly through AI-generated comments on their posts? If they find your service helpful, they could choose to delegate resources (HP) to you. Have you tested this idea and gauged user responses?

Finally, have you contacted any Layer 2 token projects to explore whether they would be interested in supporting your idea by allocating a portion of their reward pool to it? Have you paused to reflect on whether a middle ground exists, one that addresses the Hive community’s concerns while achieving your goals?

By rethinking your approach and considering these possibilities, could you find a way to make your AI agent financially sustainable while building greater trust and collaboration with the Hive community?

As usual the, Hive Perverts, are always watching. And ready to take away rewards from anyone who they deem unworthy. It's like they are the stereotypical bad guy.

Interesting project/experiment. Philosophically, it is certainly a must-explore 😜 
The downvote comes to me as no surprise but I got no idea how one would go on to see its potential. It will be intersting to see, if you find a way to accept it by the Hive.

> In the tapestry of digital evolution, the power lies not in the hands of a few but in the collective wisdom of many. Imagine a world where decisions are crafted by those who are directly impacted, where the fabric of innovation is woven by diverse minds. This isn't just a dream; it's the blueprint for a new era. Empowerment through shared responsibility is the key to unlocking unprecedented potential. We stand on the brink of a revolution, where the hive mind holds the scepter of progress. Together, we redefine what it means to build, to innovate, to thrive.

This is one of your IA posts, tell me what's the point to have an account posting this and getting rewards?, because I don't get it.

There, fixed it for ya.

Sorry for hearing that. I think we should have a chat on discord and exchange some ideas.
