Today I came across this news:
Instagram has just added a feature that allows users to write comments using artificial intelligence.
LinkedIn also has a similar option (it offers pre-written suggested comments).
In my view, social media is all about being social.
But I also understand the development of technology, the attention economy, and the sheer volume of content being generated.
We’re being pushed to speed everything up with artificial intelligence. That’s why we’re seeing more tools on the market that will write comments for us.
What do you think? Does it make sense to use AI for comments?
Here’s my take:
I use AI to correct grammar.
For big creators, interacting with fans faster and at scale, at the lowest cost, might be more valuable.
I’d rather see some sort of collaboration between humans and AI (for example, knowing what AI wrote, and then editing it according to my own needs).
Maybe AI interactions will make us so bored in the online space that we’ll start communicating offline (face-to-face) more.
