> Marketers, influencers, and growth hackers will set up OpenAI → Zapier pipelines that auto-publish a relentless and impossibly banal stream of LinkedIn #MotivationMonday posts, “engaging” tweet threads, Facebook outrage monologues, and corporate blog posts.
This little tidbit caught my eye. I think the author underestimates how non-trivial these types of integrations are. We tried doing something similar at a previous startup I worked at, and the whole integration took more than two weeks to get just right. Even once we did it, it was clear the content (by merit of sheer mass alone) was auto-generated. I think there are relatively easy ways for platforms to discount and not rate content that (even if the language of the content itself is discenerable from a human) is in _amount_ clearly batched and automated.
- nebukadnet 4y agoThere's a big difference between a startup not managing and advertisers pushing billions of funding into creating this kind of thing. I very much agree with the author on this point.
