I foresee a new area of applications for ai.

  AI that writes articles, adds ads and is consumed by another AI (bot) that analyses the content, clicks the ads. Fully virtualised money generating cycle, with beautiful statistics and all, just seed the generator AI with a few links/content.

    Well that's ultimately the kind of economy we're heading into. In ten or so years there will be articles of bots earning more money than a certain percentage of population combined.

  Funny you mention this. When I was at university, a lab-mate of mine was working on automatic article summarizing. Essentially, you could point his thing at a long article, and it would try to pick out the important bits and generate questions based on the content. I pointed out that one nefarious use of his work would be to post relevant looking questions on blog posts, but have them still link back to spam. It would become increasingly difficult to identify legitimate questions from the spam ones. But yeah... when does this all stop? Maybe when people realize that 99% of advertising is a complete and total waste of money.
