In light of my recent updates to my AI tweet generation tool, I've gotten this message over and over again: "If this progresses and 100% AI written tweets become widespread then what’s the point? Would we not just be watching robots talk to each other?" Here's my response: tl;dr AI is a tool not a replacement for personality. AI posts and replies are different. AI posts can be good conversation triggers. AI replies are bad karma. "Fair question and this is the #1 point of backlash I get. My view on it is that AI is a tool, not a replacement for your personality. Social media and personal branding is not personal or social if you replace it with AI bots. We're already at the point where you can generate AI content and post it, everyone has ChatGPT. Anyone who uses these AI generations as 100% of their brand will get nowhere and rightly so. That said, as a tool to leverage what you are already doing, what you are already building, it's great. It gives you inspiration to expand from, it helps you articulate your thoughts and ideas into engaging content so it reaches more people. That's what I'm trying to build. There will always be people who will use it in a 0-effort way but those people won't get anywhere because it's not built for that and for quite a while longer I think people will see through it - it will lack substance. AI reply tools I am against because they automate conversation, which is stupid. That's what you're getting at I think with "robots talking to each other". At the end of the day, the X algo decides what to show to people and what not. And the X algo like any other social media algo is designed to propagate what people like to consume. Then gets into the argument of are we the problem, is the X algo the problem, or is the AI content generation tool the problem? If AI helps you to write genuinely insightful engaging ideas that helps you and others to expand your horizon or trigger conversation, is that a bad thing? If it's creating slop humans don't want to consume, it shouldn't be pushed by the algo. If it is being pushed, there's a problem with the algo. Again, posts are one thing and replies are another. Posts are the source of conversation and imo AI can be leveraged to expedite the crafting of engaging content - by far there's a much higher demand for viral engaging content than there is a supply (which is why everyone sees the same viral things over and over again). AI slop posts won't get pushed (assuming algo does its job) and isn't something we should worry about. AI replies that we can't avoid and fake human interaction are different and I stand against that."
