"but isn't that our job as HUMAN curators" I think you've nailed it here. I am beginning to notice or observe that perhaps Steemit will morph into a place where bots are calling the shots. I also feel that bot owners are already more powerful than regular users. This is the divide that we see with the more powerful forces having AI and the less powerful humans not having access to AI. It's not clear what would happen if we all got our own AI writing programs up and running. If an AI can write 500 posts in the time that it takes me to write 1, why on earth would I do that? I could be painting while my robot is writing for me.......and I could be singing and eating fritos too....It just doesn't make much sense. I could then sort of tweak the results to give the article the feel of it being me. I feel that everything is accelerated in Steemit, and the wars being waged, are ones that will be waged in the mainstream future.
