Lying is bad. 
I don't know if I am still gonna be here if all I see on the feed is AI generated mush. I might as well open any of the AI generators myself and write what I want to know, without the need of scrolling through dozens of similar posts. 
It is a tool. And a very handy one. And I have seen people use it to improve their posts without pretending they wrote the text. It was part of the post, it added value to it. Fine by me. 
But I have also seen those that put a nice long text generated by AI and hoping to be rewarded for it and then acting up when confronted about it. 
If someone tries to pass the whole text that took 1 minute to generate as their own and hope to get payed for it, then it is a slap in a curators and any other user face that does produce something of their own.

I like that :)

Lying *is* bad. 

Lying about it *(by omission)* was a substantial part of what made bid bots a problem. If the presence of a *"PROMOTED CONTENT"* label had immediately appeared on any post with a bid bot vote, a significant element of the bid bot issue would have been addressed.

AI is a *very* handy tool, although my only real interaction with it is related to image processing. 

AI for text is little more than a 2023 version of the *"article spinners"* that were already in use 15 years ago. Google spent a *ridiculous* amount of effort and money on creating algorithms that could recognize spun content and relegate it to Page 637 of search results. And so, it became less attractive in an environment where *revenue* was generated by the number of eyeballs on any given web page.

I believe it's important to find *some* kind of solution for Hive, simply because real content creators shrugging and declaring *"why do I even BOTHER?"* could become very problematic.

I actually did play with a little (the text one) to see what it does. Never before used any AI or correcting/spinning tools. It is quite impressive. Though I read that it can be misleading when it comes to factual information. People should keep that in mind.

> "why do I even BOTHER?"

Exactly that. I guess it is up to us not to give it too much attention on Hive. Even though there will always be those that will try to catch some free tokens with it.
