Thanks for presenting clear thoughts on different perspectives.

2 most interesting paragraph.

1) "But with A.I.? An A.I. will develop the software. Another one will craft messages. A third one will create accounts on Facebook (rapidly learning how to circumvent Facebook’s “Are you human?” tests). A fourth A.I. will post news or place ads. And finally, the most important A.I. will “close the loop,” monitoring for performance (engagement, reposts, mentions on other social media). This last AI will be able to do A-vs-B campaigns, quickly improving its messages for maximum spread, and optimizing its parasitic campaign at speeds humans couldn’t dream of."

2)"That’s what A.I. will be to social media: an entirely new species that didn’t co-evolve along with its “prey,” the social media companies, and against which there is no defense. They are like the rabbits dropped into Australia. A.I.’s are hundreds of times faster and cheaper that hiring humans to do the same thing, and they can see patterns in the data that even the smartest humans could never find. They’ll sneak into every nook and cranny of social media, infecting every conversation, every advertising system, every news feed. And the social media companies have no equivalent defenses."
