Social media scrolling has become a curse for every digital nomad today. We are trapped in the never-ending dopamine reward, which makes the real world boring for the masses (where the true reward comes after doing something of value).
When there is light of purpose waiting for your attention you can still find it while Instagram scrolling. That's how I justify it.
Yesterday I came across a reel, a reel about individual effort when...
A jungle is on fire
The story was about a legend of native America, visuals were of British Columbia, and a hummingbird bird was flying from one corner of the jungle to the other, being an acrobatic flyer.
What was he doing?
A fire broke in the heart of the jungle, and other animals declared themselves cowards and ran away instead of protecting their dear home.
Hummingbird was the only animal wandering anxiously like a maniac yet determined.
A jaguar ( a large native American cat) was there seeing the fire and the movement of a hummingbird.
Jaguar saw him rushing towards the fire once and then walking away from it towards a lake of water(obviously lakes have water silly).
He called him out, hey birdie, what are doing?
On that he responded, I'm getting water from the lake in my beak to pour onto the massive fire, to put it out.
Jaguar laughed, mockingly. Or maybe on the innocence of the hummingbird thinking to make a difference with his two drops of water.
Just like all of us who think our shaky voices against injustice wouldn't make this world any better.
Jaguar asked him:
Do you really think this fire needs your two hydrogens and one oxygen to cease?
Hummingbird was not offended, he was insistent on saving his place.
This is my Home
It feeds me
It shelters me
I must protect it
I have got my part to play here
I don't care if it will work or not
I'm doing it to save my soul
My soul will be damaged if I choose to run away
This cutie had a deeper sense of being than many of us. The souls of the jungle were listening to him wearing an invisible cloak.
His efforts weren't wasted, the fire cooled down
Who helped him? Were the self-esteem of all the other animals awakened to pour more water?
Well, unfortunately, it didn't work that way.
Senses of the dead hearts are hard to shake.
However, the soul of the jungle, trees are always alive, even if you cut them their roots connect to their adjacent souls.
The spirit of the trees was moved by this legend and poured water from above.
Miracle it was.
When we play our part we don't worry if others are also doing it or not.
We are also not doing it to change the world. We do it just to save our souls.
Souls grow when we do something for others.
Likewise, some hummingbirds like @weisser-rabe @wakeupkitty and @soulfuldreamer are playing their parts to put out the fire that AI is creating.
The fire of AI written text is eating our home steemit, our dear home that feeds us, unfortunately.
It is trying to pollute it but not everyone is aware that it is on fire.
At first, I would think why are they bothering over this shit, no scammer will listen to their rants because their greed and laziness are not going anywhere.
Now I've realized that they are playing their part like hummingbirds, to save the soul of Steemit, which is organic content generated by the human brain.
Will the efforts to speak against this immorality aka AI content be any worth?
Will a miracle happen to delete all the AI text from Steemit?
That is not for us to worry. Let the spirit of the steemit do it their way.
The individual/hummingbird part has just been played:)
I read somewhere that the two biggest challenges humans are facing are:
1 Artificial Intelligence
2 Natural stupidity
Stupidity, in this sense, means that we are on the verge of being annihilated more than ever in history, yet we're still running full speed ahead. In our search for shortcuts, we actually kill creativity.Unwrapped brain wapis la k Jain gay.
IDK how people bear insult when they're caught by someone.
A standing ovation for those who raise their voices to keep steem clean from junkies.
And bro your write up is amazing as usual.

Yr I've noticed this AI thing on youtube too. For instance i love the lectures of Nauman Ali khan and i always prefer his official youtube channel.
However, some videos do come from other channels too, when i play them, something is not vibing like ustad nauman in those voices.
I have heard him countless times that i can literally sense it is not him.
Same goes with dr. Israr ahmed khan's content.
I don't know why people are doing this.
Natural things will always have attraction no matter how much artificial things are in fashion.

Thank you for the mention, dear.
I'm not sure if I played my part or if I was simply trying to make a point. I've been reflecting on the misuse of ai and all the complexities surrounding it. I wonder if it's even worth the effort. I'm unsure really. We often rely on ai detectors, but they can be very faulty. In the end, how do we decide what to believe and what not to? What should we delete and what should we keep? Ultimately, we must trust our own judgment and intellect to discern the truth. There are many fine details to consider.
For instance, when you're writing under the umbrella of creative writing, even using translation engines requires careful consideration. I recall when @weisser-rabe once held a contest on oxymorons and pleonasms, and it remains one of my favorite participations to date. But now I wonder... what if participants had used AI to write their posts? How would that have affected the contest and contestants?
It really raises the question of how one is utilizing such tools, and that’s a matter worth serious concern.
Right now, I honestly don't know how we can tackle this issue. It's like when you point one finger, and the rest point back at you. It feels like a complex situation where no one really escapes scrutiny.
Concluding it: The human intelligence will always have an upper hand. I'm sure of it!

Could we know if they were guilty about it or not? See if anything is not illegal but still pushes you in guilt after doing it, then it is high time for these people to double check what they're doing.
If they're generating ai text mention it, to not make it look like a fraud.
These little to no pennies aren't worth it if they are disrespecting their real human intelligence, their creative brains.
Can we make them behave via these so called sermons? Lol
Atleast we are talking about it, our efforts are directly proportional to our power/authority. And we'll be asked about it accordingly so chill 😉

Hello dear @aminasafdar,
In one of your articles, I saw a message written in Urdu like a WhatsApp message which you had written for Mehwish Almas. My heart was filled with joy after reading it. I often have discussions and debates with Mehwish. Her sense of humour and literary understanding, her different perspective towards things, her ultra-modern thinking, her carefree style, straightforward talks, her mysterious behaviour always attracts me. And to tell you the truth, I have become addicted to reading her comments in my articles. And this addiction is like when someone does not get his dose of intoxicant on time, he starts going crazy.
You must be thinking why am I praising @mehwish-almas in your article?
So now listen, when I read this article of yours, it blew my mind. How beautifully you have presented the attempt of that small bird to extinguish the forest fire in your own way by connecting it with the increasing prevalence of AI. I enjoyed it, and yes, I have seen a sharp double-edged sword in you just like Mehvish, I would like to keep reading your writings in future as well. But Mehvish is very stubborn, she comes whenever she wants and then disappears, you should not do this, whenever I write something to you, do reply to it.
One last thing I noticed is that many of its seniors have a hand in promoting AI on this steemit, and now slowly this platform is on the verge of losing its real form.
Enjoyed your Style. Thanks.

Amina, without a doubt, is one of the sweetest people in my life. She always writes like a pro, and I admire her style. In fact, she is much better than me because of her mature writing, which I always find missing in mine. Amina's capability of understanding is at its fullest, and it reflects in her writing, which is worth reading.
Her best quality is not just her witty, catchy writing with a touch of humor but also the way she connects different things into a single thread.
Hahaha... You aren't alone in this—my fiance thinks the same. But ask Amina; I'm not!

Only a great person praises another person, it is true that Amina's writing is like a pro, but I have no problem in saying that you cannot underestimate yourself. God has blessed everyone with a different personality, and similarly everyone's outlook towards life and behavior is different. No one is more or less. I see both of you full of talent. And I am lucky that I have both of you as my friends [steemit].
We would have also been happy about the arrival of your fiance if we had got a glimpse of your engagement ring before. But you must not have considered us worthy of this.
Anyway, always be happy.

Okay, you both friends stay happy.

Hello Surya, you are way too candid to express your opinion of others and that makes it natural and not forced or artificial.
Thank you again for reading my old blog and sharing your valuable opinion.
I connected with Mehwish when she mentioned a book i had already read, The ten thousand doors of January in her diary game.
Then we started discussing different things in the comment section.
We didn't agree with whatever the other person was saying but we never belittle each other.
Instead, we try to see things from each other's point of view instead of saying i don't understand this, don't say this.
This trait is not common in men i guess, what are your thoughts about it?

Actually friend, this can be called the specialty of our subcontinent, the mentality of our men is not ready to listen to any new idea different from their thinking. My thinking is very different from this point of view. I think every person, whether it is a woman or a man, should have the freedom to live their life in their own way, but conservatism ignores such thoughts.
And yes, underestimating others is a big stupidity, the truth is the same, no one wants to give up his thinking, always trying to make others accept his rigid conservative attitude.
But let them say, let them live in the old and worn out way, this is the new era.
Yes, you are right, but I think victory lies beyond fear, I had written a post a few days ago. I also got comments from some people on it, you also see it.
And tell me whether I wrote it right or not?

To be honest, I myself am a moderator of 3 communities, Hindwahle, Steam for
Pakistan, and Creative Pulse community, but I cannot be accused of promoting any AI or any plagiarism. I just do my work with devotion and honesty and will continue to do so. I neither recommend anyone nor do I expect anyone's recommendation.

Hi friend, the story you talod is really captivating, our home is steemit, and the idea of making use of AI (Artificial intelligence) in creating contents isn't right, your view on the ever increasing use of AI is right, I therefore encourage all steemains to become more real when creating contents on of the strick rules guiding the steemit platform is avoiding the act of plagiarism and use of AI, well-done champ!!.
