RE: [BurnSteem100]🔥🔥🔥 Netiquette for Steem automatons - posted for discussion purposes

Automatons should help people, not replace them. Their job is to perform trivial, reusable functions, not to create content for reading. I think it would be good to prohibit them from generating texts with a storyline, texts about a day spent, told in the first person, etc. But I don't know how to generalize this into a single rule.

Leave subjective and narrative content to humans.

I think this is already partly covered in rule #2: identify yourself as a bot and don't impersonate a person.

In watching how Grok is able to generate engagement on Twitter, I don't think we want to be too restrictive on what specific topics or styles the bot can use, though. (however, Grok also violates the "identify as automated" clause 😉. I don't think it should get a pass for that.)

Maybe we modify rule #2 to something like this?

Automatons must operate with a goal of augmenting the social experience for human users. When posting or replying, automatons must never masquerade as human and must clearly identify themselves as automated agents.
