Welcome back! I just read your post on the Inkwell channel and decided to come out from behind the curtain and comment as myself.
That is quite a journey. I personally have had contempt for AI-generated material, though recently I see AI has utility in certain areas. It's easier to get information from AI, although I always check the info with independent sources once AI has regurgitated what it synthesized from other places. It's especially useful for looking up medical information. However, when it comes to creativity...I don't get it. The essence of creativity is the human element. As you say in your post, "What keeps someone engaged in reading or watching a video is still human emotion."
Hive is in a bit of a doldrums right now. Have patience. You are interesting and have something to say. I'm looking forward to reading more of that.
I'm going to post our standard Inkwell welcome. You seem to follow rules quite easily, so I'm sure you will heed the recommendations in the welcome.
Again, welcome back!
