Dear @mickvir

Seriously amazing comment. Thank you for being so responsive and sharing your thoughts.

> A.I. is definitely making a difference in the way we live our everyday lives.

No doubt about it. 

> And what was originally five check out staff jobs there is normally only one or two people manning the human operated checkouts.

I've experienced similar issue in Singapore at the airport. It's pretty obvious that many people will need to learn new skills in order to offer some value and have job secured.

> The issue with a computer making posts on Steemit, is it would only be posting content based on successful content already on the platform. It would not be able to create original material.

I'm not worried about AI posting articles. What worries me that AI can analyze articles and be used as a support to build engagement. By posting short comments, but comments related to discussed topic. Comments that look genuine. 

I bet most people would not be able to recognize 2-3 sentences in their comment section posted by AI. Wouldn't you agree?

Would you be able to "compete" with users who build their engagement that way? I can forsee this industry (social media) being dominated by those who use AI to support their work. And "regular joe" will have very little chances to gain any traction.

Yours
