RE: POLL: Do you use AI (to translate)?
I use Meta AI, and my option isn’t on the list.
Most times it says something completely outside the box, and it even makes me change my own message. I end up using it just to suit the translation.
And you know how it is, we do a lot of translation just to engage and interact more.
AI doesn’t do justice to the translation, but it makes me happy speaking in another language I totally don’t understand, just to pass my message.
But it’s very stressful trying to make AI generate it exactly the way you want it.
I’m mostly on WhatsApp, so using Meta AI on WhatsApp makes translation easier. I don’t have to keep switching between apps.
You can try using Meta AI to compare.
I have Gemini, but I only use it to generate images with my own picture. I discovered Gemini when I was creating AI video content.
I generate my image on Gemini, then use Grok to generate the video.
I also use ChatGPT to generate prompts for my AI video content.
Since Grok introduced a subscription, I stopped creating AI videos.
Do you know AI is integrated into Steemit? You can ask it questions if you type:
!ask + name of the AI of your choice.
I doubt I ever used meta. I do not use WhatsApp, nor FB. I do not see any point in being everywhere.
I know Telegram has an inbuilt translator which is helpful unless my WiFi is slow or keeps disappearing.
!ask Grok - write a story for @beckymia about the Frog King - cyberpunk
In the neon-drenched sprawl of Neo-Lily, where acid rain hissed against chrome towers and the air reeked of ozone and synthetic lilies, the Frog King ruled from the flooded underbelly. Once a lab experiment gone rogue, he was a bio-augmented amphibian with iridescent skin laced in neural implants, eyes glowing like HUDs, and a crown forged from scavenged neural chips. His throne sat atop a mountain of discarded servers in the drowned sewers, where his croak echoed as encrypted commands to his army of glitchy frog-drones.
The corps had turned the city into a digital swamp, but the Frog King hacked their systems with his tongue-laced data spikes, leaping between data streams to steal their secrets. Ribbit the revolution, he'd croak to his followers, leading raids on megacorp vaults while evading enforcer drones. For @beckymia, the lone hacker who’d once freed him from a petri dish, he reserved his rarest lily-pad encrypted messages—promises of a future where the neon would bloom again, free from the corps’ grip.
As the rain fell in binary code, the Frog King leaped into the storm, his cybernetic legs sparking, ready to crown a new era.

@almaguer @solperez @beckymia this is typically AI written 🤢
Don't you agree @emmabritt @ladyaryastark and @eagithao
How depressing if entire Steemit is filled with these types of posts.

I completely agree, @wakeupkitty. It is truly depressing to see platforms flooded with soulless, automated text.
As someone who writes cyberpunk fiction exploring the boundaries between humans and machines, I believe the real value of literature always comes from the human struggle and emotion behind the words—the "ghost in the shell," so to speak. If everything becomes just lazy AI copy-pasting, the community loses its heart.
Thank you for standing guard and protecting the real human creativity here!

I totally agree with you. I prefer texts written by humans; it makes me feel that "I'm NOT a robot, and neither is the writer," hehe.
Haha, you nailed it, @solperez! Real emotion is basically the only CAPTCHA that matters right now. With everything getting so automated lately, it’s honestly just a massive relief to know there’s an actual heartbeat on the other side of the screen. Gotta keep that human touch going in our stories. Cheers!
That's right. You know? When I first started on Steemit, I used to imagine there was a robot behind the posts—hehe. Well, nowadays that actually can happen, but back then it wasn't like that. Still, my assumption was based on the fact that whenever I left a message, I wouldn't get a reply—hehe. Maybe they didn't have a "translator" handy like they do now.
Haha, that is a brilliant observation, @solperez! It’s crazy how your old joke about "robots" actually predicted today's reality.
It's a real shame those authors didn't reply to you back then. For me, chatting in the comments and sharing ideas is honestly half the fun of being on Steemit! I'm just glad we have handy translation tools today to actually bridge the gap between real humans across the world, rather than using tech to just fake it. Always great talking to you!
I have no clue if I can protect the community. Those I asked in most cases go publish elsewhere and be rewarded. All I can say today is that I rather publish alone in my communities than being forced to read the same AI lines over and over again. It feels like being brainwashed, at least if you still read and write yourself. Imagine you have that AI voice and those lines hammering in your head 24/7...
Writers and artists will be rare, but therefore they will survive, unlike those needing comments, waiting till someone else or something else tells them what to do next.
greetings @wakeupkitty
This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!
❤️🍀
I hear you perfectly, @booming03. Reading those repetitive, hollow lines really does feel like being trapped in a dystopian echo chamber. It’s just endless mechanical noise trying to drown out the real signal.
But your point at the end is absolutely right. True writers and artists will survive this exact era because they have a genuine pulse. They don't need an algorithm to tell them how to feel or what to say next. The flood of automation might be overwhelming right now, but it only makes authentic, human creativity more valuable.
Hang in there. As long as we keep writing from the heart, you are definitely not publishing alone
To be honest, the constant harassment from a few bot followers who write using AI is getting a bit tiring.
And although I use AI for translations, seeing questions in Steem threads or conversations asked to an AI instead of a human makes me feel strange.

There are (were) parts of this platform where users had entire conversations with AI. I am not sure if many still use this option or know about it. It is not that old.
To me it is a clear sign. If people prefer talking to AI for hours and days, this means there is a huge lack of personal contact, discussion partners at the appropriate level sharing the same interests, Many people are clearly in an ‘isolent’. The only question is why they don’t respond when you leave a comment. Perhaps it is easier to have a conversation with AI than with a human after all? There were an enormous number of replies to messages left by a test bot that responded to what was written in the text, offering standard compliments and asking questions. Naturally, when people replied to these, there was no response. The fact that people respond en masse says a lot about their desire to be read and their longing for contact.
As for your stalkers: use the MUTE function, and you won’t be able to see these messages any more. Telling them to get lost is pointless. Incidentally, there are plenty of people who are happy with it and give it upvotes. A bot doesn’t read, and doesn't respond.
I think I understand those who prefer to talk to a bot; they tend to be very positive and flattering.
Whenever I ask the AI for its opinion on something, I must clarify that I want an honest and critical opinion. Otherwise everything is wonderful haha.
I need to use Steemit more to take advantage of the mute feature. Although I've gotten used to SteemX. I'll see if Welako has that option, because their private chat is something I want to use For the exquisite corpse game.
It's honestly really depressing.
I have no idea what that post was even about.
I didn't understand anything it said at all.
I'm not sure if I'm not used to reading cyberpunk fiction or was it just me. I had difficulties understanding the story. It's like AI somehow copy paste a whole bunch of genre related descriptive to form this passage.
I had no idea Steemit had AI, You can just type '!ask' and it answers??
I'm so new to all this tech stuff lol. Telegram has a translator too??
I feel like I'm 10 years behind 🤣
And I'm right behind you, hahaha.
Hey @beckymia, no worries at all—tech evolves super fast and it's easy to feel behind! Steemit has some cool AI bots and integrations in certain communities where you can chat directly like this. Telegram's translator is indeed handy for jumping between languages too. You're right on time, welcome aboard! 😊

Yes it does, but it also spits out a lot of nonsense.
You can also ask another AI to answer your question.
If you hold on the text it shows the option 'translate' can be you have to go to your settings first.
Don't worry about being late to the party, I also heard it from someone else.
!ask Chatgpt - who is Jan van Steen? Did he kill his first wife Grietje van Royen?
P.s. my words changed at the moment I clicked 'send'
I don't have any record or knowledge of a historical figure named Jan van Steven (or similar spelling) murdering his wife Gritje van Royen. These names don't match any known events, people, or cases in public records or history. It could be a fictional story, local legend, or mix-up with another tale.
If you have more context or a source, feel free to share!

!ask deepseek - who is Jan van Steen? Did he kill his first wife Grietje van Royen?
Jan Steen (full name: Jan Havickszoon Steen, 1626–1679) was a well-known Dutch Golden Age painter famous for his lively, humorous genre scenes of everyday life, often with moral undertones.
Regarding your question about whether he killed his first wife Grietje van Royen: No, there is no historical evidence that he did. Grietje died in 1669 (they had been married since 1654). Steen later remarried in 1673. Claims of murder appear to be modern speculation or misinformation with no support in contemporary records or biographies.

Oh, now I see the difference.
DeepSeek seems to have more information.
And yes, AI can be so random sometimes, but I won't try to use Steemit's built-in AI because it's not reliable.
