Usage of AI

AI is a wonderful tool. It can really help you get inspiration for your blogs. It can also help you with translation and generating banners and other images for your posts. I've been using is quite a lot myself too.
What is less wonderful about the AI tools is that some people are abusing AI to completely generate content and post it on the Hive blockchain to collect rewards.

The Topcomment curation team also noticed an increase of AI generated comments. As these comments have nothing to do with engagement, we don't want to reward these and so we're taking measures against it.

How we handle AI comment

We check comments for signs of AI usage. When we suspect the usage of AI we submit the comment for AI checkers. When these checkers report a high probability of AI usage, we put the account on our blacklist. This user won't be receiving any upvotes from our service anymore.
We don't inform users that have been put on the blacklist.

AI for translation

We've noticed that some users use AI to translate their comments. These will be seen as 100% created by AI and will result in a ban, so be careful with that!

Help us!

Please help us with detecting AI usage. We have a lot of comments we manually curate, so we don't put them all through the AI scanners. So if you spot an AI comment that has been upvoted, please notify us. You can do this by replying to our upvote-comment or you can do this anonymously by contacting one of the curators in our Topcomment Discord Server

What is Topcomment?

The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.

Read all about it in the following blog (also in Spanish!):

Support Topcomment with Delegations

The more delegations Topcomment gets, the higher the rewards we can give away!
And you profit from the delegation as well since we return 80% of the curation rewards to the delegator.
The rewards are sent in the form of liquid Hive on a daily basis. So, supporting Topcomment with a delegation can be really beneficial for you.

You can use the following tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.

| 10 HP | 25 HP | 50 HP | 100 HP | 250 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP | 1500 HP | 2000 HP |

Follow the Curation Trail

If you don't want to delegate you can also choose to following the Topcomment voting trail via Hive.Vote.
This way you do support the project and the commenters, but you'll receive the curation rewards yourself. In Hive.Vote you can configure a percentage for the votes.
