ChatGPT and The Price of "Fake Efficiency"

The famous chatbot service, ChatGPT has launched just a few months ago, and soon after its launch, there were already a few jobs here and there that were somehow taken by such A.I.-powered services. BuzzFeed was one such company to announce layoffs and replace "workforce" with ChatGPT.

For now, you can't really replace someone with ChatGPT, all you can do is have a reduction in personnel and have the rest of the editors/content creators, such as in the case of BuzzFeed, put A.I. to work and use the results "as if they were their own". And this is where things get gloomy...

I have personally tested the service, I was also notified recently that there is or will be a paid version too, and what I like about this bot is that I find it as a better alternative to google. I sometimes use it when searching for all sorts of information but never actually had whole blog posts written by "this guy" and posted on Hive.

I will never do. According to @azircon's latest post it seems that there are already users on Hive using it extensively and this is something I warned the community since I first heard of ChatGPT. Azircon has already "announced" that he not only won't support such content but he will also downvote posts that are bot generated.

Also, according to him, it seems that there are a bunch of hivers working on a bot that will detect such content. This is a good start if you ask me. Because, as in the comparison with google that I made, there's one thing to copy/paste some piece of information, quote it, and introduce it to your post and simply posting a whole article written by some bot is a whole different thing.

Hive is a community, an organically grown one I'd say, and so far, with the exception of bid bots that were a mess for Hive imo, we didn't have much "artificial intelligence" inside our community. Whatever content we had was man made and curated.

Yesterday I had an exchange of comments with @galenkp on one of his posts and he was saying to me that he's somehow afraid of a potential future where individuals will be able to create multiple accounts on Hive and farm rewards by posting tons of A.I. generated articles through such accounts. That would be awful.

I have not yet spotted any such user, but I bet that if and when "they will come" there will be quite a few curators falling prey to such "artificial goodies". Why is ChatGPT a groove killer? Well, first and foremost ChatGPT is not human. It writes like a robot, thinks like a robot, and makes the typical mistakes robots do.

They simply collect information and wrap it up based on your request. Such a bot will never be creative, never be able to snap the photos that I do, paint anything, create the music that some of us here do, and so on and so forth. Rewarding and encouraging such crap, even unconsciously, will not benefit Hive and its users.

I don't know if the use of such a bot is actually plagiarism, but using such A.I. created content is a lie. A lie to yourself, to the community, and to whatever's left of humanity. I'm not against technological progress and having machines do shit for us, but too much "A.I. generated automation" is going to become harmful.

What are we going to be left with when A.I. will blog for us, cook for us, chat with our girlfriends, choose our clothing, drive our asses around town, and so on and so forth?... Don't tell me that it is only going to take over the shitty duties that we have and we will be left with the fun part of living on earth because I don't believe that.

If that were the case there would be no poverty on earth by now, we would travel boundlessly and have some damn freedom of speech too. The way I see it, excessive automation will only push humanity into more consumerism, government reliance, "metaverse living" and definitely more drug abuse. I might be wrong, but ChatGPT is a groove killer and we don't want that on Hive.

What do you think of that?

Thanks for your attention,
