Thank you for amazing reply @felipejoys :)
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.
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.

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!!
