It'll just be yet another technical advancement that we have to adapt to. And we will.
What gives me comfort is that there's still an operator with a motive. It's funny, as I was reading your comment I half expected it to end with "this was generated by GPT-3". And it wouldn't have mattered, because you-the-person still had a sentiment or a message you wanted to communicate, and then you communicated it, whether or not you actually wrote the message.
It _would_ be better if support chat understood me better and could communicate with me better. Because again, the motive is understood and aligns with mine. I don't necessarily need a human to do the typing. Typing is a lot of work.
In your example, marketing campaigns will continue to be marketing campaigns. I don't worry that the bots will flood your sub more than they already are; if they flood it too much, they destroy any value they hoped to leverage in the first place. The only difference will be that the language in between the spammy links will be more readable.
If someone on a, eg, adult chat forum is whispering sweet nothings at you, again I don't care if an AI wrote the prose; someone still decided to whisper sweet nothings at you. They just hired GPT-3 to do the writing instead of doing a sloppy job themselves.
I think the real problems start when the AI decides to initiate the action. When an AI, not explicitly instructed by a human operator, decides to launch a marketing campaign. That's the dystopia I'm worried about.
