This could actually encourage filtering for better quality content.
I could totally see bots writing most of the YouTube, reddit, and Instagram me-too-style content.
What about your average HN post?
If people want to not look like spam, they're going to have to start being more insightful. This is good.
- techntoke 7y agoI don't think automation will work or has worked. Look at emails and robocalls. I still get plenty of spam, even if it gets filtered into a spam folder, there is no reason I should have to peruse my spam folder but still some important emails get labeled as spam. I believe the issue is that corporations as a whole simply can't be trusted, and that the only solution is decentralization with open source technology and making it easy for users to create their own filters and control their own data. Also, the bots I see on reddit, YouTube and Instagram generally aren't pushing liberal agendas but right-wing. The automation I see are networks of influencers working together to push out the same narratives.
