Nobody wants to put in the work to make the training set needed for high quality results. Any AI generated hashtags a guarunteed to be trash.

Nostr was never going to survive without solving the "bot hell" problem, which I honestly think proof of work could help solve.
Nostr protocol should be exchanging user agents and it wouldn't be impossible to require proof of work appropriate for either mobile or desktop clients. Of course, the capability of a desktop client will be absurdly disproportionate to what mobile clients can do.
Good point. Then force a one sat fee as the proof of work. Then every client can use an “energy” token and clients with a battery won’t be left out
That is exactly why I never use hashtags on any platform ever. Hashtags take on only the worst aspects of regular text search and actual moderated tags.
