I came online in the early '90s, when digital tools were new and most people were skeptical of them. I've spent years fascinated by editing and creating with technology, and the current debate over AI-generated images and video feels like a rerun of an argument I remember well.

When Photoshop arrived, the early results were often obvious fakes, and critics dismissed the whole medium. Darkroom photographers saw digital manipulation as a lesser craft. Over time, though, retouching and compositing became standard practice, and the skill matured into a discipline. The people who thrived weren't the ones who applied a filter and called it art. They understood light, composition, and the tool well enough to use it with restraint.

I think AI is following the same arc. Right now anyone can generate something, and much of the output is crude, which invites the same backlash. As the tools mature, the meaningful distinction will be between casual output and skilled, intentional work. Creators who know exactly what they want and how to direct the tool will set the standard, much as the best Photoshop artists did.

That's not to say the critics are wrong about everything. Concerns about authenticity, labor, and disclosure are legitimate and deserve serious answers. But history suggests a medium is ultimately judged by its best practitioners, not its worst examples.

The product here is not the coin but the KYC infrastructure and the massive network of verified humans behind it. The network could monetize its identity-verification technology by providing KYC services to businesses and Web3 projects, without necessarily selling the underlying users' personal data. No other company has done this. Only Pi networ and its potential is very huge!

That distinction is important if you're evaluating Pi. It is actually a data/identity business disguised as a cryptocurrency. So the team dont give a damn about the Pi coin value and this means they are generating income from US AS THE PRODUCT.

These cult GCV makes it better for the company.

Research on this and finally be awaken. Weve been scammed 🤣

i just realized after 1 year that I have been optimizing my videos and posting to be algo friendly which is only one traffic source (SUGGESTED BROWSE VIDEO) from youtube. it is true its a really big chunk but we sometimes forget there are other traffic source which will also contribute to our views which sometimes is where longer views comes from. and when the algo changes (like this AI change) we are constantly at the debt of youtube.

My question to those who are doing optimization to reach an increase in their other traffic source. what are those thing you do to optimize yours?

I have a 6 months old channel with 50+ episodes in it. still under performing but improving. what will happen if i take all those 50+ episodes and repack them into the latest packaging i learned after 6 months of grinding. close and delete this channel and create a channel and repost all the 50+ episode with a uniform packaging that perform better.

will there be issues of reuse of content if i already deleted the original post?
Has anyone already experimented on this? Give me your thoughts.
