I love automation. I also love people. Automating background operations are a really appropriate target for automating work.

"What if you wanted to upvote every post from your favourite account the moment they publish?"

Automating notifications of things is great. Automating social interactions is inappropriate. Voting on content is social interaction. Automating social interactions are like battery operated boyfriends, relationship killers.

Please refrain from automating social interactions on Hive. Hive is a social media platform, and it's already very poorly enabling people to interact socially. User retention is so bad that after onboarding >1M people since the platform advented in 2016, there are only ~2000 people using Hive today. The advent of LLM's threatens to overwhelm Hive with bot posts that have become so realistic it is difficult to tell them from posts by actual people. In the event LLM's are used to publish posts by the hundreds of thousands of sock accounts the utility of Hive to human beings will be completely eradicated, and Hive will become a sort of game in which AI competes with itself for rewards, and the botnets will take all rewards, which actual society will no longer participate.

The Hive token will not have any market, it's value will plunge to 0, and there will be no one here but bots.

Thanks!
