Five Hive Contest #1: Ai Generated Marketing Message About Hive - Details/Rules Post (5 Hive prize!)
Howdy Folks,
First some backstory for why I want to do this contest, and then what it actually IS, followed by the rules and instructions coming up right after that down below.
Why this contest.
If you saw this recent post from the @PolleNation witness team of @enginewitty and I, then you already know that we are all about bringing the platform's communal feelings of excitement about our chain and just the general wholesale community-wide shared enthusiasm vibes back that many of us old folks felt back in the early days. I know there is still a vibrant buzz in the hive but it's like winter, the beez are all tucked in, hiding in the honeycombs of the communities and discords and there is just a quiet hum.
But the hive used to be noisy! Full of flitting too and fro, sipping nectar from posts and spreading pollen across them with curation and care. Discords were 24/7 communications hubs and they never turned the lights off, always someone, somewhere on the planet to talk to, create with, laugh with, bitch about life with, be excited with about the next great thing. Friends. They call them friends.
Sometimes friends fight, sometimes friends fall in love, sometimes friends make mistakes, sometimes friends save the day. You get the idea. But at the end of every day, they are all after the same thing, the success of their community and the well being of everyone in it, into the future.
Coming back to the platform after a long hiatus, and talking with others arriving back as if called by the same siren at the same time, we've all noticed what those who have never left might not have felt - this attrition happening in slow motion around them. The platform has lost its spark a little.
And yes, change is inevitable, but Hive has become disengaged. Detached. Distant. A little bit anyway. This is not a wholesale indictment, just an observation from the perspective of someone who can draw a very hard 2 year line between then and now, and see the difference. You can see it too, if you look and allow yourself to suspend your disbelief. Many tell me they feel it.
I am hoping we can get fired back up again and buzzing on all cylinders again. All together, be on team change for growth! Growth of the user count, growth of the crypto, growth of the effects we have on the world beyond our bee hive.
Spread some pollen, make a little honey, create one heck of a buzz.
And for what it's worth, no pun intended, if people are asking for half a gazillion dollars for marketing proposals, why don't we can see what we can all do together for free just real quick? I want to test that theory by lowering the bar to marketing hive's budget to zero. And make it so simple that anyone could pitch in. This contest/experiment will show that with almost zero effort to create, we could be putting out enticing messages on Facebook, using them on youtube, twitch, X, Insta, Linkedin, etc. We used to all do that all the time. I don't see it very often anymore.
What's the damn contest already, Cork? Get to the point!
So lets have a completely ridiculous and silly little merit based contest> Set for for a tiny amount of hive to keep it from getting too intensely competitive and yet to add a prize just for bragging rights and fun, in order to practice our chops at doing creating a buzz for hive!
The contest:
1.Using your favorite brand of AI text generator, create a prompt to make an advertisement for social media about Hive. Write any kind of prompt you can possibly imagine. But don't edit. Write it top of mind how you would want hive described, and send it. One shot. You could cheat and make a perfect prompt iteratively but really, I'm hoping for some hilarity to ensue, and maybe some awesome stuff too. So one shot your "sell hive to somebody" prompt and send it.
2.Paste the unedited raw prompt and unedited raw AI response into a comment here on this post. Everyone who posts a comment with a prompt and an output formatted like the example here is entered to win.
- Winner will be selected by the prompt/response entry upvoted highest by all viewers coming to this contest page and decided on after roughly 24 hours without a new entry comment being added or Friday at Noon Central if by some wild unlikely thing it is still getting new entries up until then. This will be vote count, not vote reward so zero cent votes will help you win by "most votes", make sense? Everyone can play and vote for as many responses as they want. But only one entry per person to keep it clean.
Using my own attempt at this challenge/contest for a one shot AI prompt, I will put my answer below as an example for your entry comment formatting to keep the comments section tidy for voters to easily find and read the top level entries by visual layout and expected length-ish-ness.

Prompt:
Write a 500 word description of the Hive Blockchain that would excite potential users to join the platform. Write this in the tone of a casual American 55 year old male who is known for being funny, super intelligent and something of a rogue personality within the Hive ecosystem.
Response (ChatGPT/Bing/Meta/Whatever-your AI choice's name here in parens):
Alright, folks, gather 'round and let me tell you about this wild, wacky, and downright wonderful thing called Hive Blockchain. Picture this: a digital jungle where you can swing from tree to tree, collecting honey pots of rewards and treasures along the way. No, seriously, it's a place where your creative juices can flow like the Mississippi River, and you get paid for it! Who wouldn't want to jump on that gravy train?
Let's start with the basics. Hive is a decentralized blockchain platform that lets you create, share, and get rewarded for content. It's like the love child of Facebook, YouTube, and your grandma's cookie jar, but without the creepy data mining and annoying ads. Instead of handing over your soul to some corporate overlord, you're the boss here. You control your data, you earn the rewards, and you call the shots.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Why should I care about another social media platform?" Well, let me hit you with some knowledge bombs. Hive isn't just another platform—it's a revolution. Unlike traditional social media, where your hard work translates to likes and shares that don't pay the bills, Hive rewards you with cryptocurrency for your contributions. Yep, real digital cash that you can convert to good old-fashioned greenbacks if you want. Cha-ching!
Hive's got this nifty little thing called 'proof of brain'—a system that rewards quality content. So, if you're a sharp cookie with a knack for writing, vlogging, or creating memes that make people spit their coffee out, Hive's got your back. Your content gets voted on by the community, and the more votes you get, the more Hive tokens you earn. It's like American Idol, but without Simon Cowell's snarky remarks.
"But wait, there's more!" as they say in those cheesy infomercials. Hive isn't just about earning tokens—it's about building a community. It's a place where you can connect with like-minded folks from all corners of the globe. Think of it as a digital campfire where everyone shares stories, ideas, and laughs. And the best part? No one's going to ban you for having a controversial opinion. Free speech is alive and well on Hive, my friends.
Hive is also home to a plethora of decentralized applications (dApps) that add even more flavor to the mix. Whether you're into gaming, blogging, or even virtual reality, there's a dApp for that. And since Hive is open-source, anyone can jump in and start building their own dApps. It's like the Wild West of the internet—full of opportunities and adventure.
And let's talk about security for a moment. Hive's decentralized nature means there's no single point of failure. No big, bad corporation holding the keys to your digital kingdom. Your data is stored across a network of computers, making it virtually hack-proof. So, you can sleep easy knowing your content and earnings are safe and sound.
So, if you're tired of the same old social media grind and want to join a community that's fun, rewarding, and downright revolutionary, Hive Blockchain is where it's at. Jump in, start creating, and watch your digital empire grow. Trust me, you won't regret it. This is the future of social media, and it's buzzing with possibilities. Come on, let's get this hive buzzing!
And that's it, keep it simple, add your own comments below your entry to start a chat thread about your response, etc.
CONTEST DISCLAIMER!
Now, naturally these first pass, one shots are for FUN and ONLY for this contest, don't send them to the world unless bombproof factually accurate about how things work, sets realistic expectations and isn't illegal and whatever else would make us look worse, not better.
For real world use, of course a properly tuned prompt and or just plain old human generated creative marketing would really be best. But for fun? Lets sell each other here on this post on Hive again. Make me want to be here and buy in with your responses. But do it off the top of mind prompt, I think that lack of refinement is going to produce some very raw-dogged responses and its going to be hilarious and entertaining to read what you create with AI.
Show me what you got, hive, get buzzy!

PROMPT:
Write an ad inviting people to join an innovative new platform that allows for blogging, art, video, networking, and building applications, while generating cryptocurrency, and friends, at the same time. Set the tone to the voice of an ambitious 30-something who is trying to take new directions and switch gears about how they feel about social media.
Tired of the same old social media grind?
Me too. Let's face it, endless scrolling and superficial likes aren't cutting it anymore. It's time to level up.
I'm talking about a platform that's not just another pretty face. This is where your creativity meets cryptocurrency. Where your passion becomes your paycheck. Where your network is your net worth.
Imagine a place to blog your heart out, showcase your art, share your videos, and even build your own apps. All while connecting with like-minded people and earning real, tangible value. It's not just about likes and followers; it's about building a community and a future.
Are you ready to ditch the endless scrolling and start creating something truly impactful? Join me on this new adventure. Let's rewrite the rules of social media together.
#NewEra #CryptoCurrency #CreatorsWelcome #LetsBuildSomethingAwesome
I used Gemini, and I gotta be honest, I thought this was scary good. I could not have written it better if I had tried. All those clever little alliterations and shit? "creativity meets cryptocurrency" "passion becomes your paycheck" and "network is your net worth"? And then there's "connecting with like-minded people and earning real, tangible value."
What???
I was not expecting this level of quality. I am impressed Gemini. I'm impressed.
To be fair, "Your network is your net worth" Is kind of an old cliché' quote now, from like Tony Robbins or some inspirational speaker type person like that, so the AI stole that one. Let me google it real quick like:
Seems to be first attributed to Robert Allen but used by a million influencers since then, claiming it too. But it's sentiment in full context is spot on for Hive.
I figured.
"Let's rewrite the rules of social media together."
Perfect marketing, all kind of vague promises and still wants to start with a Hardfork.
No pollen was wasted while creating this comment

The Prompt: Write a 500+ word advertisement promoting the HIVE Blockchain which targets active military and military veterans. Write from the perspective of a lonely, cranky 64 year old Marine Veteran.
The Results: Hey there, brothers and sisters in arms. I’m Joe, a 64-year-old Marine veteran. Yeah, I’m old, cranky, and sometimes feel like the world has moved on without me. But listen up because I’ve got something that might just change your life like it did mine: HIVE Blockchain.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Blockchain? Isn’t that some tech mumbo-jumbo for those young whippersnappers?” Well, it’s time to drop the skepticism. HIVE Blockchain is a game-changer, and if there’s one thing we veterans know, it’s how to adapt and overcome.
First off, let me tell you what HIVE Blockchain is. It’s a decentralized platform that leverages the power of blockchain technology to create a secure, transparent, and efficient system for managing digital assets. Think of it as the backbone for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum but with more muscle and versatility. HIVE isn’t just about digital currency; it’s about creating a whole new way of doing business and handling information.
Now, why should you care? Simple. Financial freedom and independence. Remember the discipline we learned in the service? The importance of having a solid plan and the ability to pivot when necessary? That’s what HIVE Blockchain offers. It’s an opportunity to invest in something that’s growing, something that has the potential to secure your financial future. And let’s face it, we didn’t sign up to be taken care of; we signed up to take care of business.
HIVE Blockchain isn’t run by some faceless corporation. It’s powered by people like us. It’s a community-driven project, meaning it’s built on the principles of trust and collaboration. You know, the stuff that held us together in the field. When you invest in HIVE, you’re not just buying into a technology; you’re joining a network of individuals committed to building a better future. It’s like being part of a new unit, one that operates with the same integrity and honor we value so much.
One of the biggest advantages of HIVE Blockchain is transparency. In the military, we thrived on clear, honest communication. HIVE operates the same way. Every transaction is recorded on a public ledger, making it nearly impossible for fraud or corruption to take place. You’ll know exactly where your money is going and what it’s doing. No more shady deals or hidden fees.
Let’s talk about security. We all know the importance of keeping our assets secure, whether it’s our gear or our savings. HIVE Blockchain uses cutting-edge cryptographic techniques to ensure your investments are safe from hackers and cyber threats. It’s like having a fortified bunker for your digital assets.
Another thing I love about HIVE is its commitment to sustainability. The company is dedicated to using renewable energy sources for its operations. As veterans, we understand the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. HIVE’s eco-friendly approach means you can invest with a clear conscience, knowing you’re supporting a company that cares about the environment.
But here’s the kicker: HIVE Blockchain isn’t just for tech geeks or financial wizards. It’s for anyone who’s willing to learn and take control of their financial destiny. If a crusty old Marine like me can get the hang of it, so can you. There are plenty of resources and a supportive community to help you along the way.
In closing, I urge you to consider HIVE Blockchain. It’s more than just an investment; it’s a chance to be part of something bigger, something that aligns with our values of honor, courage, and commitment. Don’t let the world pass you by. Embrace the future, take control, and secure your financial independence with HIVE Blockchain. Semper Fi!
LOL, why's he gotta be "GI Joe" though? :) And do current modern day 64 year olds really even say "whippersnapper"? That seems more like something a current 64 year olds grandfather would have said :D
Paste the unedited raw prompt and unedited raw AI response into a comment here on this post.
Blame the AI not me! You said don't clean it up and I following directions. lol
Besides I was targeteting a certain demographic! Supposed to do that stuff in marketing from what I understand.
Yeah, you did it right, i was poking the AI in my comment here. Fun little experiment though. And a unique angle on your target audience for such an ad.

I should have thought of suggesting extra voter attention for folks who also do a compelling image. I think this AI could have done a better job of selling me on it from an excitement point of view, but nothing it said was wrong either.
Its interesting to see how the different AI platforms solve the prompt. As interesting as seeing how different Human "platforms" create the prompts.
Indeed but you said you want it raw so I just settled 🤣 !DOOK

That was the instruction. You pays your money and you takes your chances :) It's still a fascinating experiment in what the people could do, versus the 150K sketchy "budget" approach where it's not clear what it will do, if anything, to bring attention to the chain in tangible ways. :)
Totally agree we need to leverage all the tech we can with the onboarding effort !DOOK
You just got DOOKed!

onboarding should be easy, but if the product sells itself well, positions itself well, is marketed by everyone who is enthusiastic about it like some of us still are, then people will go through a lot to onboard to be a part of something.
Like waiting in line for 2 days to get concert tickets to some major superstar, then standing in the mud and rain at the festival to see them.
Effort is something we should minimize and streamline, but first, we have to have something they want to onboard to (we do!) and make them aware it even exists!
THEN we will have more great minds here working on the complexities of simplifications :)
Alright folks, gather 'round and let me tell you about the Hive Blockchain. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Another blockchain? Really?” But trust me, Hive is not just another blockchain. It’s the blockchain. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of the crypto world, but without the risk of stabbing yourself in the hand.
First off, let’s talk speed. Hive is faster than a cheetah on a caffeine high. We’re talking 3-second block times here1. That’s right, transactions are confirmed in milliseconds. No more waiting around like you’re in line at the DMV. You want your transaction done? Boom, it’s done. And did I mention there are no fees? That’s right, zero, zilch, nada. You can send money to your buddy across the globe without paying a single cent in fees2. It’s like the good old days before banks decided to nickel and dime us for everything.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Hive is a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) blockchain. What does that mean? Well, it means that the people who invest the most time and resources into Hive get the most say in how things are run. It’s like a democracy, but without all the annoying political ads. And because it’s decentralized, there’s no single entity calling the shots. It’s run by the community, for the community2. Power to the people, baby!
But wait, there’s more! Hive isn’t just about transactions. It’s a whole ecosystem. We’ve got hundreds of dapps (that’s decentralized applications for you newbies) and communities thriving on Hive. Ever heard of Splinterlands, PeakD, or Ecency? Yeah, they’re all part of the Hive family. Whether you’re into gaming, blogging, or just hanging out with like-minded folks, there’s a place for you here.
And let’s not forget about the Hive Backed Dollar (HBD). It’s a USD-pegged stablecoin that’s backed by Hive. You can earn some of the highest interest rates in the crypto space just by holding HBD in your savings. It’s like having a high-yield savings account, but way cooler and without the bank teller giving you the side-eye.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “This all sounds too good to be true.” But let me tell you, Hive is the real deal. It’s been battle-tested by hundreds of apps, communities, and projects around the world. It’s not some fly-by-night operation. We’ve been around the block and we’ve got the scars to prove it.
So, why should you join Hive? Because it’s fast, it’s free, it’s decentralized, and it’s got a thriving ecosystem that’s just waiting for you to dive in. Plus, you’ll get to hang out with folks like me, and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want that?
So come on, take the plunge. Join Hive and be part of something bigger than yourself. You won’t regret it. And if you do, well, you can always blame me. But trust me, you won’t. Welcome to the Hive, my friends. Let’s make some magic happen.
Nice, but you forgot to include your prompt! What was your impromptu prompt? Edit and paste it in, if you still have that browser tab open!
It's probably similar because the prompt is similar:
yes, it's close. Still says a lot about how generative language models work and the consistency of it's responses (using the same gpt models) to two disparate users inquiries. Very interesting.
I like that my AI ad included Splinterlands.
I thought it was peculiar that you and I are two people who never met, and it wrote a whole lot of the same tone and even specific phrases on both of ours ("Alright gather round") which is interesting to me that it sort of spun the same way for two total strangers asking it about the same exact topic so subjectively in our mutual requests.
If you’re tired of the same old, same old in the crypto world, it’s time to shake things up with Hive Blockchain. This isn’t just another blockchain; it’s the blockchain that’s going to change the game. And trust me, you want to be part of this revolution.
First off, let’s talk speed. Hive is faster than your grandma’s gossip at a family reunion. We’re talking 3-second block times. That’s right, transactions are confirmed in the blink of an eye. No more waiting around like you’re stuck in traffic on I-94. You want your transaction done? Boom, it’s done. And the best part? No fees. That’s right, zero, zilch, nada. You can send money to your buddy across the globe without paying a single cent in fees2. It’s like the good old days before banks decided to nickel and dime us for everything.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Hive is a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) blockchain. What does that mean?

Now it's complete :D
Well now, let me tell you about this newfangled contraption they call the Hive blockchain, if my addled mind can recollect it proper-like. It's a curious thing, this Hive, like a swarm of digital bees all buzzin' and workin' together to make some kind of invisible honey. Folks say it's a place where people write and share their thoughts, much like I used to do with pen and paper, 'cept now it's all done with these confounded electric machines. The writers, they're like busy little worker bees, pollinatin' ideas and collectin' rewards for their efforts. Now, I may be old and forgetful, but I recall somethin' about miners too. Not the kind that dig for gold, mind you, but some sort of newfangled miners that solve puzzles faster than a Mississippi steamboat can chug upriver. These miners, they keep the whole contraption runnin' smooth-like, though I can't for the life of me figure out how. There's talk of tokens too, like some kind of magic money that ain't paper and ain't gold, but holds value all the same. It's enough to make an old man's head spin, I tell you. But here's the queer thing – they say this Hive is open to all, like a public square where anyone can come and go as they please. Yet, it seems to me that only those versed in the ways of these electric contrivances can truly make sense of it all. Now, I may be just an old fool with one foot in the grave, but I can't help but wonder if this Hive ain't just another way for folks to do what they've always done – share stories, trade ideas, and try to make a livin'. Only now, they're doin' it with machines instead of good old-fashioned ink and paper. But who am I to judge? The world keeps on turnin', and even us old dogs might learn a new trick or two. Though I reckon I'll stick to my trusty quill and parchment, thank you kindly.
I love your take on the prompt! Very original!
I am less fond that the AI came up with "miners" for the witness node descriptions. It's not exactly what witnesses do per se. We do get compensated for validating blocks, but we don't mathematically produce the blocks like chains with "miners" do.
So I love the creative angle, but think the AI missed out on explaining governance and block validation correctly.
Still a very fun read! :)
Here is an alternative.
"Um, so there's this big notebook on the computer, but it's not really a notebook, it's on the internet. And lots and lots of people can write in it and draw pictures, but not with crayons, they use their computers. And the cool thing is, when you put something in the notebook, everyone can see it! Like, everyone in the whole wide world! And nobody can erase it or change it, even if they really want to. It's like when you write in pen and can't use an eraser. Oh, and you know what? If people like what you put in the notebook, they give you special computer money. It's not real money like in my piggy bank, but grown-ups think it's important. And, um, there are these people called miners, but they don't dig in the ground. They do something with computers that helps keep the notebook working. I don't really know what they do, but it sounds important. So yeah, that's what the Hive blockchain is. It's like a big, magic, computer notebook that everyone can use and no one can change. Can I have a snack now?"
Still talks about miners though.
Cool selfie
Fun prompts for sure, I was hoping for some knee-jerk creativity out of those and you didn't disappoint.

Hahaha I tend to greet and say thank you to the inanimate machine too during my sessions 😆
Ohh nice spin on the "whichever demo is most likely" approach - I'd be very interested in the follow up question of: "Now please explain to me exactly who comprises the demographic you decided up for this task and why you chose them specifically?"
That could be some useful intel right there, you know?
Thanks for entering! I hope the concept and the exercise amused you as much as it does me!
I've seen enough movies where the machines take over, I want them to remember I was polite 😂!
As for the follow up question, I paraphrased a bit but here was the response:
The ad is tailored to attract a demographic that includes tech-savvy individuals, content creators, and crypto enthusiasts. These are people who are likely familiar with social media and blockchain technology, appreciate the value of decentralization, and are motivated by the potential to earn through their online activities. This group typically includes Millennials and Gen Z, who are active on social media and open to innovative financial opportunities.
YES THIS :) Hahahaha excellent.
as for the follow up, thanks for doing that!
So - forget about the unwashed masses, aim for the "crypto-bros" and "crypto-sis's" in a teens and up to younger adult age category who like money.
Seems easy enough. :)
I think I'd ask myself who's most active here now because if the new Hivers don't feel any connection to the current Hivers, there's a decent chance they won't stay long...but if crypto bros etc take Hive back to its ATH, I wouldn't complain!
I like the way you think.
It's a verrrry good point you make.
The connection to the types of people we already have is a huge point I hadn't heard articulated anywhere else yet, and honestly its spot on.
I'd say by and large its NOT "crypto bros". It's regular folk all around the world making this place special. Big or small wallet aside. The folks I meet are special and above average in their unique things, code, art, music, words, videos, etc, but they are still "regular folks" by and large. Not some ultra-dweeby basement dwelling crypto day trading neckbeards.
Well mostly anyway. 🙃
I know when I arrived, these ordinary folks ran contests, talked to each other and had fun and that made me write and draw and sing more than I had in years. I think it would be best to focus on attracting and retaining regular folks first so that the community gets more vibrant again. But if there's not enough people here authentically enjoying themselves with each other, there's not enough to invest in.
You are starting to smell the pollen on this flower that EngineWitty and I are doing with our witness @pollenation ! I Hope you will take a moment to read some of our announcement posts about that exact sentiment and they will help you keep and create more of that enthusiasm, so that we can become the kind of place that well as I like to say, doesn't need much "marketing" because good things sell themselves.
Sounds great, I'll check those out! 👍👍👍
Ooooh, good point. Cuz a lot of the OG's are old retired dudes. And me.
Yeah, we're not TikTok 🤣
On that note, I've been squawking about how we should give more "viewing exposure" to posts that get lots of comments. Like a straight across repost. Just like TikTok does. I'm gunna sing that song as long as it goes.
But that's a great way to keep the most engaging convos going (TikTok isn't doing that by accident). Keep singing that song, I hope it reaches the right ears!
I plan to.
And great contest idea btw, this was fun lol
I can vote on the shared appreciation :) I have refrained from voting on entries as the contest conductor.
Actually I haven't seen any votes on entries yet...May have to do a random draw on video and post that if no one gets a vote.
Perhaps the next one will get more community participation 🤔. Still a fun concept!
Well, my tenure of 4 or 5 years here took a 2 year hiatus, so I lost a lot of reach, but with our new witness coming up strong in the ranks and my name well known amongst the old-timers (some for better, some for worse) it won't be long till I get back to my old level of eyeballs on things.
The user attrition since I was last here, isn't helping that, but that's the goal of @pollenation witness and my team up with @enginewitty on that and several initiatives to bring people in and also back... and fire up a new generation of enthusiasm for the place in general for everyone. Stay tuned :)
I hope I'm the "worse" mwa haha ha ha haaaaaa!!!
I was gone for a year until 2 weeks ago and it does seem like some of the older Hivers are coming back bit by bit too. I'll be looking out for those initiatives 👍😊
Yay! Rebirth and renewal are the air!
👏🥳👏
Wow, you guys are taking it to the next level. I'd be super curious to see how we get Qualtrics level analytics for free haha.
You'll want to begin that inquiry here:

That was super smart of you to kick it up a notch and ask it to assume a specific audience that would be most likely to invest. Nice call. 10 points haha.
Thanks 😁! I figured if we want Hive to be fun but also increase in monetary value that this was the direction I would take
It was smart!
Aw shucks lol
