The use of performance enhancing drugs in sports is viewed as cheating because it gives the athlete an unfair advantage over their opponents.
The Ancient Olympics games holds the earliest records of doping in sport, it is said that some of the athletes had to take figs with the hope that it could improve their performance, but experimenting with pharmaceutical drugs took center stage in the 19th century. With the production of drugs to improve the athlete's strength and also overcome fatigue. In the early 1980s, athletes had started abusing growth hormones largely because there was inadequate test to screen offenders.

Blogging on steemit is facing a very similar situation with the development of artificial intelligence like the ChatGPt Wich is more like steroids for a blogger.

What is ChatGPt?

Chart-GPT is a product from Open-AI that was officially launched in November 2022 as a revolutionary AI chart bot powered by a Powerful neural network with the ability to understand, communicate and accept instructions in plain English or any other supported natural language (NLP) meaning that you can ask Chart-GPT any question and it will generate an answer for it without having been pre programmed to respond to that question.

It is basically a conversational AI application that is capable of having a conversation with a human using a very natural language.

How to use Chart-GPT
It's a free application, you simply go to the Open-AI website, create an account which allows you access to the Chart-GPT interface.

How it works
You can start by providing the AI with some background information as heads up, once the AI is up to speed, or on the same page with you, then you can strike a productive conversation.

Areas of application
This disruptive AI can be used in virtually every filed of endeavour. But the aspect that is of great concern to us is that part where you can ask Chart-GPT to write an essay on effects of climate change.
The AI gets to work and comes out with exactly what you asked for- a well written essay on the effect of climate change.
It can do Almost anything involving text like paragraph summarization and even programming code.

How Chart-GPT Affects Steemit's Stand on Plagiarism and POB.

Plagiarism
Making use of an article generated by a chat bot like Chart-GPT is plagiarism because you did not create it by yourself. Credit should be given to the bot. Using a bot generated post is against Steemit's ethical codes on Plagiarism though I believe due to the dynamic nature of Steemit, a better detection solution will be found soon.

Re-wording a text
Chart-GPT can be given a text and could be asked to reword the text such that it is undetectable by Plagiarism detectors.
This has created a new strain of AI Assisted supper paraphrase plagiarized content that is beyond the basic software used in the detection of plagiarism. It is paraphrasing plagiarism at a whole new level, resulting in users of such AI creating almost impeccable posts in few seconds by reconstructing existing materials that are feed into the AI. It's a form of cheating, dishonesty and abuse giving the bot user an unfair advantage over fellow bloggers.

Using a bot to generate content for steemit where content is rated using a proof of brain mechanism is absolute cheating on the system, while the system assumes that the material was created by a human blogger when in reality it's the work of an AI system wreaking the whole idea behind the concept of a proof of brain.

the effect of legalizing Chart-GPT on Steemit?

If Steemit as a platform was to adopt the use of bot to support blogging, the platform will be flooded with paraphrase plagiarized contents.
The value attached to creativity will die off and Steemit will have more users mostly made up of people who could not stand the platform's demand for human created intelligent content. This will result in the loss of standards, the emphasis on plagiarism free content will will get soft and traditional Steemians who loved the traditional steemit environment will consider migrating.

I personally prefer steemit without the assistance of bots, the platform is a place where creativity is encouraged.

Remedial Measures

Education
Sensitization efforts like this contest should be encouraged and the need to avoid content bots be included in our Achievement 3 post for all newcomers.

Equip Communities
Community content moderators should be equiped with effective software capable of analysing content and isolating that which has the creativity of a human and content with the predictable signature of an AI.
So the Community Moderator's analysis table on the post should have a new item -"AI Generated". Any post suspected to have AI generated content should be flagged.
Some examples of tools that detect AI signature in articles are:
AI detector
GLTR

Penalties
Steep penalty or punishment should be imposed on bloggers who use bots to enhance their post. It could carry the same penalty as plagiarism - warning and muting with possibility of a down vote.

Conclusion

The introduction and launch of of a useful products like the Chart-GPT bot has numerous advantages, has created fear and concern among people of various works of life, it has also created a new challenge for community moderators and for steemit as a whole. While steemit makes the needed adjustment to address this development, some Steemian are also warred that their work could somehow be mistaken for a bot assisted article.
Chart-GPT has a lot of useful applications but could easily be abused by bloggers.
