Hatena Opens Anonymous Diary to ChatGPT Posting
Hatena is testing whether an anonymous diary can absorb AI-written posts at the point of writing rather than the point of moderation, and the reaction so far suggests the labeling decision, not the plugin itself, will settle the argument.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Hatena released a plugin on September 30 that lets users search and post to its Hatena Anonymous Diary from inside a ChatGPT conversation. Posts made this way are recorded on Hatena's side, and the company may later label on article pages that a post came from ChatGPT. Early reaction on Hatena Bookmark is split, with some users saying the plugin is easy to use and others predicting a rise in low-effort and AI-generated posts.
The plugin is added from ChatGPT's Customize section and linked to a Hatena ID. Conversation search reaches past entries, and a new entry can be posted without leaving the chat.
Hatena says ChatGPT-originated posts are recorded internally. Whether readers ever see that mark on the article page is undecided.
Hatena Bookmark discussion already runs both ways. Users who tried it called it easy to use; others worried about mass-produced crude posts and AI slop, and a third group said clear labeling would make the whole thing convenient.
