Too much respect for sn to generate AI content

It’s a wankily-worded headline, and I can’t fully describe this, but I am reluctant to try and game stacker news by creating Clickbait headlines or AI generated topics just to pick up a few sats. It seems disrespectful somehow.

It's not just disrespectful, it probably wouldn't even work. There are posting costs and AI posts tend to get downzapped to oblivion.

Was going to include this in the post. People have a sense.

Clickbait distractions and bullshit slop are definitely unwelcome; there's more than enough of them in other sites, and from what I've seen, the actively curating users zap to disincentivise that.

I think someone familiar with the AI "research assistants" could probably hand-pick opportunities within topics generated by people; sometimes this could be more helpful than links into Wikipedia¹. However it would still require some work from a human, because I don't think anyone would welcome a completely automated tool deciding when to step in based on text analysis of the comments by some crawler.

I've linked to Wikipedia often both in SN and elsewhere, although it does feel a little condescending and only two steps above "do you know how to use Google?" ↩

It doesn’t work too. Stackers put their sats behind their values. AI-generated posts get downvoted to oblivion
