Automated production of propaganda has scaling properties that an army of writers do not.
Consider a twitter bot that responded to conservative twitter posts with a links and quotes from a liberal thinktank blog, whose articles were generated and saved on the fly to look like rebuttals, complete with references to seemingly already existing/back-dated articles laying the groundwork, also generated on the fly and saved.
It's a game changer.
