RE: AI & Automation: Attempting To Be Artificially Natural

I let a bot play Wild for me and I do it understanding the consequences. The most important one is not that real players won't like that I play Wild with a bot, but that my skill in the game diminished and I am not as good as I used to be, even though I still play Brawls.
This is a marginal example, although I see many people making a big deal out of it. But I see a bigger impact when you let AI write for you, because then you let it think for you, and your critical thinking, your writing skills take a major hit. That eventually correlates to the subjects you are able to coherently talk about, which simply makes the persons who approach things this way... appear and be dumber than they were when they used their own brain.
That's why I don't care as much about bots in Wild for Splinterlands (which is a game) compared to something that may have a serious impact on someone's ability to express themselves coherently.
I don't think using a bot in wild is bad, I think it became concerning when it was subjective to abuse. You know, people owning hundreds of accounts just to farm SPS. I think this was the reason why the wild pass was introduced.
In reality, I'm not comparing the use of bot on splinterlands and using AI. They're two different things, but I was just trying to make emphasis on automation..
Yeah, I added the Splinterlands parallel because it was an example of what happens to your skill once automation takes over. The same or worse would happen with AI generated content, except in this case it should matter more for the author, in my opinion.
Well, I don't think some people actually cared, especially if they have auto votes and all that. Something like that might mess the flow of content creators and just make them outrightly greedy
Ok, if someone never created content themselves, they won't lose much. Although from my experience, creating content helps with the flow of ideas and the easiness to express them.
