I strongly feel that for users to come we also have to look at the content. Especially poor AI generated content which is spoiling the feeds. Why would you want to publish in a sea of generic non original content?
I am invested in and believer in Blurt but some of the blatant lazy AI generated content maddens me. At one point I commented on a top twenty witness who was creating posts with it.
More users is the key but more users who will add value and not just copy paste content for rewards 👍
You know what, there is one problem with this quality of content. We don't want it to turn into fascism like on Hive where "low/high effort content" slogan is like a religion ;P Blurt should be useful to users for which they are willing to pay. if they want to pay for posting AI images, that's cool... I think there should be frontends that allow separating low-quality social media entries from high-quality blog entries.
But, for example, yesterday @dotevo in the Polish chat on discord said that he misses a situation like on the Polish platform wykop (something like Polish reddit) where he comes in asking questions and there are people willing to help him... i.e. such forum functionality...
Others lack groups (which is currently already done to a very advanced degree in the community project)
Our platform differs from hibe, for example, in that posting is subject to a certain micro fee, which means that no matter who posts what, they still pay for brandwitch :)
the problem is to work on the way of presenting the content. For example, on blurtlatam.com it is better done...
I agree and don't propose that we arbitrarily start to judge content. One of the freedoms is to post what we want but at the same time. We know what content I mean. Random drivel from ChatGPT
I prefer my content human generated even if that ends up being shit 😀
And I agree. I actually believe that there is huge potential in the crypto world to create a service that involves signing content with an additional digital key made by a human certificate :). Something like a reverse captcha :D.
I believe that this was one of the things that we could sell on Blurt as a product. @saboin, what do you think? Is it possible to create some kind of modification in the blockchain?
...and when people see that @blurbooster, et al are SUPPORTING THIS IDIOCY - it looks more like a cabal of centralized users being paid to imitate activity, to make more blurt, to then go to the cabal. (50% curation for nothing)
I.e - it looks like a ponzi
What people on here fail to realize, is that not everyone is as stupid as they are.
The mind boggles.
It would be helpful if AI stuff was not upvotted by blurtbooster. I am not a big fan of the UBI nature of that bot. I know it votes proportional to word count/images and that is easily gamed and this gaming can be seen but many users
....their 'cleverness' is seen by those outside of the crytosphere, as nothing but stupidity, greed, manipulation, and very ponzi-esque in nature.
(and not far from the truth, perhaps)
If AI generated content is being posted, it's because there is an incentive for it.
It is being posted and the incentive is to gain votes from blurt booster and people who don't realise it is what it is.
