As data and science become more accessible and more the production of software and AI, human creativity is becoming a more valuable commodity ― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr

Hey Hive World,
I've been busy with life and finally have to write some thoughts and ideas down.
ChatGPT and the AI Age
I'm taking care of a family member this week and in the spare time I have, I'm testing the capabilities of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is the AI chatbot built by OpenAI.
If you haven't experienced the chatbot yet its capabilities are out of this world. The rumors don't give it enough credit. With advanced AI in the hands of the people, the new age has begun.
As AI transforms the world, it's more important than ever to have a plan for success in this new era.
The age of AI will be a golden age for dreamers and risk-takers. But for all of us to thrive we must become better humans. We must embrace our humanity and cultivate the skills that make us valuable in a world where cold, hard logic is no longer the most coveted currency.
On Hive, we see firsthand how AI is changing the way we interact with each other and the value we place on human-generated content. People must have a plan for navigating this new world.
There’s a tremendous amount of uncertainty on Hive. ChatGPT can generate blogs in seconds based on simple prompts. It’s the collective values of the users that will determine the appropriateness of this technology.
This is going to raise some really important questions.
We must adapt or perish
I'm part of Generation X and was in high school when the Internet went mainstream. When I started high school the business of school research meant making time to go to the library. Then one day the computer lab had the Internet, and school research changed overnight.
The faculty was split on the appropriateness of using the Internet for student assignments. Younger teachers in their late 20's and 30's were open-minded. Older teachers drew a hardline in the sand. My history teacher, a man in his 60s, threatened to fail any student assignment that used sources from the Internet. There wasn't a discussion about citing sources correctly, it was a binary proposal. If you got caught using the Internet you failed.
Fast forward a few decades and we can see how much attitudes have changed. It's unthinkable now for students not to have Internet access.
What caused the attitude shift was that the value of the Internet to education became more significant than the impact of cheating students. It doesn't mean the Internet's not being used to cheat, we just developed protocols to lessen its impact.
The lesson the Internet age teaches us is that it's futile trying to hold back the tide. Burying your head in the sand and denying change is doing what my history teacher did.
Navigating the Age of AI and the Role of Advanced AI in Web3 and DAOs
Regardless of the risks, we should welcome the age of AI. It’s the jet fuel that’s going to take Web3 to the stars. Cryptocurrency and Web3 need two things to survive and thrive; relevance and speed. DAOs are threats to the nation-state. For mass adoption to occur more people need to trust in DAOs than they do their governments. That means DAOs must solve real-world problems fast. Advanced AI will be key to this.
DAOs need speed to outpace and outmaneuver governments. Governments are slow to respond but they eventually do and it's usually with draconian regulation. If DAOs adopt advanced AI in mass the race is over. Regulators will never be able to catch up with the speed of development. The battles won and Bob's your uncle.
Web3 is ripe for the AI revolution. Dapps, DeFi and smart contracts are poised to take advantage of AI. When gamers and investors experience the personal benefits of AI, this fear of it will be forgotten.
Hive is a special place because we'll not only grow in the AI age, we'll write the protocols for interacting with it and each other. We can build our own roadmap for thriving in the age of AI. So let's join together on this journey and conquer the future.
Please share your thoughts on AI in the comments.
