Hi Tengo, appreciate the thoughtful comment... I really need to get more onboard with Threads; I've typically gone pretty "light" on anything related to LeoFinance because so little of my content is related to Finance/Investing; but what I have read from Khal recently suggests Threads is a more across-the-board gig.

Anyway... yes, I agree that AI is pretty much inevitable, and I am not against AI as a technology, I'm against the deception the invariably goes with those who use it to try to "milk the system."

I'm all about community and the HUMAN Internet... which is what got me interested in blogging, in the first place. In fact, most of my earliest online experiences (1995-96) revolved around the exploration of Human identity in a virtual space. With a couple of friends, we were exploring how virtual communities were changing how people identified the self. We were actually researching for a book on this very thing, but we scrapped it after Sherry Turkle at MIT published "Life on the Screen."

Point being, I worry about the ways AI might de-humanize the Hive experience, if it's merely being used in service of those who are trying to maximize/harvest rewards. This community is so much more than just a "magical cash dispenser!

As you know, I'm a big fan of Silver Bloggers; I'm so glad it came along and filled the void left by the gradual demise of the old Power House Creatives community!
