I've been wondering about the exact same thing. Basically, a sufficiently calibrated and targeted GPT3 bot swarm could be employed to render at least some parts of these communities into useless echo chambers.

I think that while GPT3 posts are usually identifiable after reading some sentences, I often also find that it's harder to realize when consuming precisely this kind of social media. I often just consume it absent mindedly as opposed to reading a real article.

With most comments being a paragraph or less, I think social media is done for unless it finds a way to put up a wall.

One thought is the subscription model of older social media sites, such as Something Awful. Pay $5 to get an account. Break the rules, get banned, pay another $5.

That's a lot of friction for your most valuable consumers, though. Marketers want users that are less discriminating.

Another is a shift to video and multimedia-based social networking. TikTok, Instagram, Twitch. It doesn't save the comments, though. I'm not sure how long we've got before the videos themselves can be generated with a high degree of novelty.

AI is going to change the game significantly. We're perfectly timed for a technological change of winds that enables new upstarts to challenge the incumbents. I'm kind of excited.

I don't now about that. I believe if you had it calibrated correctly no one could tell the difference between a single GPT-3 comment and a human comment.

Maybe after a bit of dialogue you'd have a higher chance, but even then I suspect (from playing around in AI Dungeon) that GPT-3 could do very well.
