it would actually require loads of creativity. Something AI lack.
But at the same time it would be so easy to use AI as an "assistant"
By learning from people's writing styles, it could end up learning how to create interesting publications. It could look up trending topics from google, buffer them from news sites like bbc and cnn, spin those articles, adapt them to writing styles of different authors, then post them on steemit.
In my opinion, this is not even hard to do - nor it would actually require artificial intelligence, although it could get beefed up with some.
However, I'm not convinced social media will be dominated by AI simply because it's a lot cheaper to employ humans instead in this case.
Last but not least, here's a video of MarI/O - Machine Learning for Video Games, by SethBling
Thank you for amazing reply @felipejoys :)
It sounds easy, but I am not sure if it is so in fact. Such algorithm would need to somehow understand the meaning of the words in order to manage them properly, as it should change words in the article without changing the context. Obviously it could just use synonyms, but I think it would be not enough.
In order to make the text sound naturally, it would need to have some sort of intuition. I am not think if it is possible with the current level of AI development.
That's really interesting, thank you for sharing.
The fakenews below was written by an AI:
The AI Text Generator That's Too Dangerous to Make Public
I only just came across this article, but it reflects my previous comment.
Really frightening @felipejoys. Take a look on this Obama speech which is also generated by AI:
That is also terrifying!!
Dear @felipejoys
Indeed. But that may be still difficult.
I'm not worried about AI posting articles. What worries me that it can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine.
I bet most people would not be able to recognize 2-3 sentences in their comment section posted by AI. Wouldn't you agree?
Would you be able to "compete" with users who build their engagement that way? I can forsee this industry (social media) being dominated by those who use AI to support their work. And "regular joe" will have very little chances to gain any traction.
ps.
Thank you for your comment and I'm sorry for such a late reply. Past several days have been very messy and I didn't have enough time to do my work on Steemit.
Have a great week ahead,
Yours

I can see people using "bot comments" to fool the competition into thinking people want their products a certain way when they actually don't, therefore ruining their business by tricking them into pushing a product that won't sell.
But I don't see how realistic bot comments will make a person make money. People who earn with engagement need humans to do that, not bots. They want customer leads, monetization through ads, sample real opinions through polls, upvotes when it comes to steemit, etc.
Dear @felipejoys
I would like to thank you for your previous comment. I only had a chance to read it now. I very much appreciate that you're so responsive.
Cheers
