AI - Blessing or a Curse for HIVE? .:. March 1st HivePUD

Let's have a short talk about AI... It's a hot topic recently, and I know there is a bit of pushback here on HIVE on one side, but on the other side, we will have to adapt ourselves (and our chain) to it... AI isn't going anywhere, and it's here to stay...

First things first... Even before "AI mania", I was (and I am) consuming content that would share opinions/views of an author... Those posts where you can see how the author thinks about a certain topic, adding value by sharing an opinion, or discussing something with their words... I'm not interested in some scientific posts here, or some "dry story" about some historic place, if there is no "personal touch" by the author... For all that, there are scientific pages, or AI bots that can answer... In the end, HIVE is a social network, and it's hard to socialize with someone who doesn't share their personality... Because of all that, the usage of AI to create a complete post makes no sense, as it will share 0 personal value, and I will probably skip the post...

On the other side, AI can be very useful if it's used as a tool to make us better, to help us to be better understood by others... Also, it is getting better and better with coding, creating apps... Recently, I got a bit demotivated with everything around crypto, searching for "real value" of it, including HIVE... I got deep into the tunnel, and it was getting darker and darker...

Then, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel; interestingly, AI is probably something that put us in the tunnel, but it can also show us the way out of it... I didn't see too many valuable apps deployed on HIVE... Every couple of months, someone would launch some "HIVE tool" that would show some HIVE data differently... Usually, something that already existed, but it was "re-packed" differently...

But, something changed... AI disrupted the software industry... Some "regular" folks could finally dive into development of their ideas, ideas that are opposite to those of "old-school-developers"... Hive got a "fresh blood" of ideas!!! Something that was needed a long time ago! Maybe it's not that visible, yet... But I can see this getting better and better very soon! HIVE is a great blockchain, with great fundamentals, and the missing piece was exactly that... Fresh blood and useful apps! Soon, everyone will be able to launch an app! Sounds scary, but only for those blockchains that have no infrastructure to be built on... Hive isn't one of those! Hive is ready!

Back to the #HivePUD and HivePower accumulation!!!

This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

Another 1K Power-UP! 💪

And the final result...

132K HivePower reached!! Next step, 135K!

It looks like the #HivePUM badge isn't operational anymore... As I'm trying to continue my consistency streak doing power-ups every day, for me, it doesn't matter that it doesn't work... At least the calendar part works, and I can see if I did it every day... 😃

To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP... Sounds easy, but it can be tricky... 🙂 (well, badge will maybe arrive one day, as all data is on chain)

So, what is #HivePUD?

Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is short for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It all began with great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork, and is held every 1st day of the month.

Check out the official #HivePUD post for March here... Hurry up if you want to participate!

Thank you for your valuable time.
