What are the challenges of using AI for content creation on social media platforms?

"Love this new dress!" beamed Maya's post. Fans gushed, but the AI behind Maya's account, thirsty for likes, not fashion, had no idea what "love" meant

Imagine your AI content creator on social media accidentally stepping into a comedy club, but instead of laughs, it causes a stir! Ethical issues are a real challenge when using AI for content creation. It's like a tightrope walk between innovation and integrity. Should you slap a "Made by AI" label on every post? There's a fine line between dazzling your audience with cutting-edge tech and having them feel duped by a digital wordsmith. Plus, if your AI has been feeding on biased data, it might just blurt out something that leaves your brand red-faced, turning your cool tech tool into a PR nightmare.

You need to have a point of view on how AI content is generated and when/where it is appropriate to use AI content as a business. Many frameworks can help you start thinking about AI ethics but ultimately your organization needs to have a point of view. The problems begin when the organization does not have a policy and then individual executives begin experimenting and consistently rolling out content generated by AI.

Ever seen a robot try to crack a joke or pen a heartfelt poem? It's kind of like that with AI in social media content creation—there's a limit to its creative chops. AI can whip up a storm of posts and pretty pictures, but when it comes to capturing the subtle dance of human emotions and the rich tapestry of cultural contexts, it can stumble. This means your super-efficient, tech-savvy content creator might just miss the mark on resonating deeply with your audience, leaving your posts feeling a bit more like a handshake than a warm hug.

LLMs use self-supervised learning collected from various sources on the internet, including websites, books, articles, and other written materials. Human creativity does not only live in public written or graphics. Often, human creativity occurs in the mind sometimes not being expressed in any public forum. It follows then, that their creativity will always be substandard as long as they cannot learn from the handful of private creative ideas every marketer had before they decided on the final public social media post of the day.

Ever wondered if your followers can spot the difference between a sunset painted by AI and one captured by a human? In the world of social media, where authentic human connection reigns supreme, introducing AI-generated content might raise some eyebrows. It's a bit like a ventriloquist's act; if the audience catches on that the doll is doing all the talking, the magic fades. Trust is the currency of social media, and if your followers sniff out AI behind too many posts, it could feel like finding a robot behind the curtain instead of the Wizard of Oz.

Social media is a space for human interaction - people speaking with people. When this changes, the social element becomes a lot more fragile. Scepticism will arise when trying to pass off a generated response as a human one; one little crack in the trust that's been built, and the whole illusion can shatter. Would this change if it was openly recognised that the interaction was artificial? Would it even matter? Users flock to social media for many reasons, however, it is likely to be a long time before society shifts towards choosing social media to speak to robots (if we ignore the time that chatbots were a new and exciting phenomenon, of course!).

Just ask Sports Illustrated as they were in the news for publishing AI-generated articles and then passing them off as the work of writers who did not exist. When the debacle was discovered, the brand of the media property suffered. Real human writers at SI were mocked.

It's important to maintain authenticity and blend AI-generated content with genuine human insights to foster trust and engagement.

Ever felt like you need a PhD in AI to simply jazz up your social media content? Navigating the technical labyrinth of AI content creation is no small feat. It's like being handed the controls to a spaceship when you just wanted to drive a car. You need to know which buttons to push—selecting the right AI models, feeding them quality data, and tweaking the outcomes until they shine. Without these skills, your posts could miss the mark, leaving your audience more puzzled than impressed. Plus, with AI tech constantly shifting gears, keeping up can feel like running on a treadmill that's speeding up.

Artificially generated content sticks out like a sore thumb... for now. As time goes by and the systems are improved, with further learning from genuine human interaction, it will become more difficult to make this distinction. Artificial content is currently clunky and unnatural, and is known to make false claims from time to time. Then again, so do some people, so maybe the gap between AI and human content isn't so far away after all. Whilst it's currently accepted that GPT-style content is a good starting point, i.e. offering ideas and structure, the final result should still be heavily filtered through people.

AI has creativity limits when it comes to content generation. The same content can be found/used/shared for different purposes. AI has indeed its limits as innovative technology and won't replace human creativity and work. I don't believe in AI as a viable technology in a long term vision.
