Now that more social media platforms are suggesting both posts and comments? I don't post as much as I used to. I turned off Gmail's Smart Reply and Smart Compose features. More of my news feels auto-generated – the syntax suddenly falling apart half way through. Commentary on articles appears to be 80% generated outrage. Bots, trolls, slaves, and now, AI.

Living Comments is a flexible AI comments generator that can "revive your comments" section and spark new discussions. Over 40 unique tones and 35 languages plus five engagement modes from timely to recycled. Word length and timing – all adjustable to make it impossible to tell AI comments from real people.

Regardless of their Shakespearean claims, the only goal for all of these tools is hands-free commerce. But it's a relationship built upon a foundation of deception. That doesn't feel like good business.

The new version of success is to publish a high-visibility website using AI generated blog posts, peppered with enough AI generated comments to lure in unsuspecting humans... using more AI to analyze that human behavior to refine the tone and topics of posts and comments to actually sell something – and then replicate that website another 10x over, using AI to determine hottest publishing topics: politics, sports, finance – whatever. Sell ads, sell subscriptions, and market that book on how you built this $20k monthly passive income in 10 minutes.

If AI content is too well-written, or too polite to pass as "authentic," it will gradually become more base, rude, vulgar or hostile. As these auto-pilot websites become more popular, they will be swarmed by fake Russian or Chinese bots and forced scamming labor like parasites blooming in roadkill.

But back to hands-free commerce... Will customers ultimately crash and burn when they discover they've been played for fools? Will generated engagement destroy the very commerce it was born to generate? Because that's your business. It's a decision that shouldn't be made lightly. Deployed in too many areas: customer service, "live" help, general content, and commenting you run the risk of being seen as a scam.

If I discover I've been arguing the merits of a new car at a dealership with three AI constructs created to gently herd me into buying a hybrid instead of electric because your dealership has hybrids to unload? How do you – as the dealership – recover from that. Because I probably won't...
