Well, that was unexpected. Your view is spot on. It's also the way we mere mortals approach new technology. Let's see how far we can take this. If it's illegal, immoral, or just wrong to do it, hey, that's OK, we'll let someone else sort it out.
Some of the technology created over the past 100 years has still not been fully explored, but it will be because that's who we are.
The HI Movement appears, at first blush, to be an anti-AI movement. It is not. Like you, my position is that there are many things that AI is doing very well. However...
Eroding a platform like Medium with AI-generated articles, posts, poems, and stories circumvents the use of HI, not because the users can, but because of its financial rewards.
If people want to explore the use of AI to generate these things, find them, just not on Medium. Perhaps Medium-AI. That would be the best way to deal with it.
Thank you for this story. I'll refer to it in the coming weeks as we continue to rail against the inappropriate use of AI on Medium.
