RE: Why Steem stakeholders should embrace AI incubation

in #ai2 days ago

I think AI is a big double-edged sword. AI might bring some positive changes, but here on Steemit, unfortunately, it seems that one AI model is already spamming the whole chain with meaningless replies.

Sort:  

I definitely agree that AI has potential for misuse (and we already see plenty of misuse), but I think it's worth the risk to attract new investment streams. Right now, the main investment offerings are:

  1. A blockchain that has been basically static for 5 years, and seems to have a minimal core development team that's basically just struggling to keep the lights on.
    • MeeRay changes this dynamic a little, but it's not adding anything that's not already available in 20 other places (and after last week's post, who knows what the future is for that dev team); -OR-
  2. A social media technology that can't seem to retain users very effectively.
    • Again, there are some new front-ends, so things might change, but from what I can tell they're not adding anything fundamentally new. It mostly seems like window dressing to me.

In contrast, AI has the potential to bring investment from a whole new class of investor, and Steem still has something unique to offer in this space that AI investors can't find in many other places.
