That's like saying self-driving cars will put mechanics out of work... I doubt it. May need slightly different skillsets, and may actually need more people with those skillsets. They may call themselves data scientists or some shit like that, not unlike "automotive service specialist".
I don't know if this is the case or not. That's what I see it saying. But in a practical way I do think it can affect Bitcointalk.
Someone catastrophist might think that AIs could replace humans in the forum, and no, I don't think that will be the case in the short to medium term. But there have been revenue-generating blogs written with the help of IAs for some time now.
In the same way, I think that AI can bring leverage, in the same way that automatic translators bring leverage. Take for example The Cryptovator, formerly Coocryptovator. Either he suddenly improved his English a lot from one day to another, or today he uses an automatic translator and before he didn't, just like many on the forum.
The only reason I'm not using it is because it asked me for a phone number to register, but let's get down to the nitty-gritty. In response to a question from a newbie in the B&H section of the forum about what Bitcointalk is and what you can do here, the AI just clicks and in a second writes a much better summary than I could do and in less time.
What can this bring to the table? Leverage. If there are many who today have two accounts, it will be feasible to have 4, 5 or 6 accounts without getting tired. It's just a click and then review what the AI has written, making some tweaks, adapting it according to the case.
If it is to write in the gambling section, I believe that there will be no need for touch-ups, because the AI will do it better than the average user of the forum.
For the rest, what I say. I am curious to try it although I don't think I will do. To create a new account that publishes posts written with AI, obviously revised and retouched as needed.
We live in a time when professional translators are helped by machine translators,
bloggers are helped by AI, so it will not be surprising if AI starts to be used in the forum. Not as a substitute for those of us who write, but as leverage.
