The Ongoing AI Ruckus: Why We Should Embrace AI Content Instead of Fighting it.
TRIGGER WARNING: This post is written from my original comment with the help of the hated one, ChatGPT. I wanted to publish this as a standalone rather than just leaving it as a comment under another post.
The ongoing debate about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in content creation has reached a boiling point, and many people feel threatened and/or angry. Their initial reaction is to lash out with a "To Hell With YOU!!" attitude. I empathize with their apprehensions, but it is foolish and misguided to believe that we can prevent AI content. In fact, we shouldn't even try to do so.
AI in Content Creation: The Pointless Discussion
To be honest, most of these discussions seem pointless to me. I have no interest in participating too much because I can see how little most people understand about how generative AI works and the extent to which it can be utilized. The dumbest thing you can do with AI tools like ChatGPT is to say, "write me a post about pottery." You have no expertise on the subject matter, and you cannot connect with your audience if they ask specific questions or present arguments based on their experience. Posts like that are not likely to be appreciated assuming curation is done responsibly.
The Higher Level of AI Utilization
However, there is a higher level of utilizing ChatGPT where you conduct thorough research on a topic, feed it data, and use it as a part of your team to write an engaging and informative article. By doing the research yourself, you can continue the discussion with your audience outside the article, spark interesting discussions, and engage in new relationships. If that isn't valuable, then what is?
The Value of AI in Content Creation
Not everyone is a born writer, nor do they have the desire or ability to hone their writing skills to captivate and satisfy their readers. That's where AI comes in. You can now geek out on your favorite subject, conduct in-depth research, and use AI to help express your thoughts to others. I fail to see the problem with that.
The truth is, AI can help you deliver better content, faster. AI-powered content creation tools can generate ideas, suggest outlines, and even provide content that matches your tone, style, and topic. It can save you time and effort, and allow you to focus on other aspects of your business or project.
The Future is Here: Embrace AI or Be Left Behind
The future is here, and those who embrace it will flourish. Those who choose to cling to the past will be left behind, lost in a forest or a jungle or some unknown place. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is how it is, and always will be.
The reality is that AI is not going anywhere. It will continue to evolve and play a larger role in our lives, including content creation. Instead of fearing it, we should embrace it and find ways to use it to our advantage. By doing so, we can produce higher-quality content, save time, and connect with our audiences in new and innovative ways.
Non-AI written part:
I just want to say to everyone rilled up right now. I understand and I appreciate your opinions. But instead of fighting this thing, we can use the same amount of time and energy to find the best ways to utilize it.
As always thank you for reading. Hope we can grow from this together.
Post rewritten in Mark Twain writing style because it's awesome!
My dear friends, let me speak plainly and directly about this matter of AI in content creation. There are those who would have you believe that the rise of AI means the end of human creativity and ingenuity, that we are on the cusp of a dark age where machines will supplant our very souls. To those people, I say: rubbish.
The truth is that AI is not a threat to our creativity, but rather a tool to enhance it. It is not a usurper of our genius, but a collaborator with it. We need not fear the rise of the machines, for they are not here to replace us, but to work alongside us.
It is a foolish and short-sighted attitude to deny ourselves the benefits of this technology out of fear or pride. Yes, it is true that not everyone is a born writer, but that does not mean that they cannot be. With the help of AI-powered content creation tools, anyone can improve their writing skills and create content that is engaging, informative, and unique.
And for those who would argue that AI-generated content lacks the soul and authenticity of human-created content, I say this: the soul of any piece of content comes from the heart of the creator, not the hand that writes it. It is the passion, the knowledge, the creativity, and the empathy of the writer that imbues their work with meaning and value. And all of those things can be enhanced and amplified with the help of AI.
So let us not cling to the past out of fear or stubbornness. Let us embrace the future with open hearts and open minds. Let us use the tools at our disposal to create content that is worthy of our talents and our passions. Let us show the world what we can do when we work together with the machines that we have created. And let us do it with all the passion, all the creativity, and all the joy that Mark Twain himself would have brought to the task.
So my friends, let us cast off the chains of fear and embrace the boundless possibilities that AI offers us. Let us work with these machines to create content that is richer, deeper, and more meaningful than anything we could have done alone. And let us do it with all the passion and fervor that comes from knowing that we are not alone in this endeavor.
Thank you for reading, my dear friends. May your hearts be as open as your minds, and may your creativity soar to new heights with the help of this remarkable technology. Let us go forth together into a future of limitless possibilities.

Haha, I know this is a hot topic so it felt like I need to do it this way. Hope people don't take it the wrong way tho. I'm not actually trying to trigger anyone.
There's really no value in AI content nor is it smart. All it's doing is pulling already existing content people have already written and then spinning and filling it. We used to call these article spinners back in the early 2000's and google slapped them hard. I don't see why google wouldn't slap the heck out of AI content as it's very predictable in how it writes.
It's not smart, it's not creating anything new it's just compiling already written content.

Hmm, everyone here seems to say that for some reason although this isn't true. Yes, AI is trained on already written text to learn how to use the language. But if you use data priming to fill the AI with information you are doing research on or just fill it with your own data it will produce 100% original content. You can do that with ChatGPT too.
What I'm trying to say is that this is completely false if you don't just tell the AI "hey write about this and that" and everyone seems to be unaware of this being a possibility.
Generative AIs are getting easier to train and sooner rather than later everybody will be able to easily train one with their own personal touch and every AI will be unique. At that point, these discussions won't really matter.
YEs. I think you have to use it to see that, and use it with intelligence and figuring out how it works. I'm not sure many people are doing that - they are quickly labelling it as an enemy, or a drawcard to whip up something in two seconds to gain rewards of some kind. Used intelligently, it's an entirely different story.
Also, here, you've literally said 'hey I used it' - that's perfect! Now I can choose whether to vote or not. Only reason I'm not is that my VP is too low!
For some reason, most people complain about zero-effort posts that are generated by AI. I don't get that because they are so easy to spot and are rarely interesting to read through. If big curators are responsible with their votes they should be able to spot that and decide to avoid voting on it or downvote an overreawarded post like that.
But let's say that someone makes a post with GPT saying "write me a post about legendary tennis players", and that post garners a shit ton of engagement with the person publishing post. Is that value? Should that be upvoted and encouraged?
Interesting question. I still don't think it should be rewarded, but that could be black and white of me. Yet that's not a bad thing either. Doesn't that mean people are going to chuck out a lot of AI posts on the blind hope people will engage and reward? If this kind of value is end game, why isn't a little sentence at the end saying 'This was co written with ChatGPT' or 'This was written by CHAT GPT in response to the prompt x' a good idea? If people really believed in the AI they'd do this but for most part they are doing it just for the rewards.
Interestingly I find when they do that they aren't sourcing their images either, AI gen or not.
I don't think that's the case because people generally don't like spammers and those just looking to extract value won't bother doing that manual part where you need to actually talk to other human beings (I think), haha.
But sure, having a disclaimer might be the best way to go in terms of transparency but in my opinion, if I enjoyed the content and/or learned something from it, and/or engaged with it. I don't see why that disclaimer would even matter, right?
Nah, I wanna know. There's enough lies and deception on the internet as it is.
That's cool, but those that will use it maliciously won't tell you anyway.
Nope, but I'll try my best to figure it out and rain on their parade if I suspect! 😂😂😂
Agreed, AI content has little or no value and is not smart. It's interesting the persistent mentality of the people pushing AI, use it or "die" (become non-existent).
Convenience causes an atrophy of ability. These people will become addicted and helpless without their AI tools. Do they think that the corporations who own this technology will forever allow free access? Just take a look at what happened to social media.
Further to this, governments are also moving to curtail this free and easy access to AI, because they are scared of what the public will do with it. The EU has already passed a raft of laws.
So the AI community, enjoy it while it lasts.
RIGHT!!! I think this was my major point, and I don't think people appreciated that this is what I'm trying to get at. By no means would I block, downvote, harrass or otherwise anyone who was using AI more responsibly and wisely. Does that make sense? I worry sometimes I don't express myself very well.
Secondly, the WAY you used AI in this post is fine. It's transparent, it's part of a larger point, it's entertaining and interesting - as you say, the opposite of what other people are doing eg 'write me a post about growing beetroot/onions/pawpaw' blah blah.
I'm not angry by any means - it's a fascinating discussion! I do think people are annoyed at my post though. I think people think I'm being more militant than I actually am. :P
I worry about that often as well. This is one of the reasons I would use AI like ChatGPT. I would write a paragraph and then look at it in disgust and mild confusion "wtf was this thought process". Then I would tell the AI to rewrite this in a cleaner, more readable way. The AI would fill the sentences with expressions and emotions I had in my head the whole time just didn't know how to write them down. I know people aren't arguing against this. I just had to share it with someone.
I love conversation about this AI technology. It shouldnt be argument. I get it. I have gone through this process too, but in the end it doesn't feel me, and continue with my psychobabble anyway. 😂
Lately, in our company, we just discuss ChatGPT. AI I think is the next big hit.
A friend of mine works as a backend developer for a bank. He said they are already using ChatGPT for months to help them organize the team and they are very happy with their boosted performance. They also use Github Copilot for faster workflow. He couldn't share much else but from what I gathered, they reduced stress in their workspace A LOT by using these little helpers.
I find that people are intentionally confusing the issue here. People aren't saying that AI is bad. Nor are they even saying that AI content should be banned.
What they are saying is that AI written posts in the main don't deserve rewards. Its as simple as that.
The reason?
That too is simple. People are not conducting research on a topic and feeding the AI data then using the outputs to write an engaging article. They are literally doing the what is pottery thing.
They never quote the source or mention in any way that AI was involved in the work they simply try to pass of the output as their own.
As someone who dedicates a lot of time to fighting abuse on this platform you are simply not seeing what we are seeing. Reams of chancers typing what is a blockchain or why is eating fish good for us and sitting back and expecting the rewards to roll in.
By all means, let these
cuntsdo so and produce to their hearts' content but they should not expect any rewards for typing a prompt into an AI text generator.If only people were using it in the utopian way that you think they can do.
But largely, they are not.
Maybe they aren't saying that out loud but I've seen some accounts that had AI-assisted posts and now every post they share, even ones completely written on their own are downvoted to zero, feels like getting banned I would say. Granted, I didn't research these cases although auto downvotes seem irresponsible.
I wouldn't even argue this. Although I'm curious. I've given this example to someone so I'll copy/paste it.
But let's say that someone makes a post with GPT saying "write me a post about legendary tennis players", and that post garners a shit ton of engagement with the person publishing post. Is that value? Should that be upvoted and encouraged?
I am aware of that, and thank you for doing it!
I guess this is where we are at. Low-effort content is now instead of copy/pasting someone's article and spinning their text around, telling AI to do it for them.
The biggest problem I see with most AI discussion posts is that it sounds like if AI is used it automatically suggests that the effort is not included.
