This is definitely an important discussion to have. If Hive (and Web 3 generally) are to gain traction, gaining high-profile influencers as content creators could well be part of the key.

But to play Devil's Advocate, I actually tend to scroll past AI-generated content. Modern mobile phone cameras have come on significantly, and I would far rather see a well-shot image of the real world than something cooked up by AI any day. I see a lot of discussion on historical artifacts, and it is widely recognised that AI-created "historical" content contains so many errors that the casual viewer might not spot that it is doing immense damage to the actual study of history.

So to me, it is quality content, not flashy graphics, that matters. So yes, we need to get influencers onboard, but imagery is a minor component provided it's of decent quality.

For most influencers, it's all about making money, so the question we have to ask is how we can bring in the audience required to deliver the earnings they demand without zeroing out the earnings of those of us who have been slogging away creating quality content for micro-payments over many years. It's a bit chicken and egg !
