First post!

Hello everyone! New to this platform and doing some blog posts for my summer coding class at Georgia Tech. New to this field so forgive me if my verbiage isn't up to par haha. I was reading an article Sam Lauron on Hootsuite which I will link below, it experiments with the idea of human written capabilities and how they compare to AI written capabilities for social media posts and its engagement. The results concluded that human written tweets tend to gain more traction than AI generated tweets, I was a little shocked to discover this as I have been hearing a lot of the new Chat GPT 4 lately and how groundbreaking it's been. Although the reason for the performance difference was simple, human written tweets did better since the audience could tell they were written by a person vs. an AI tweet which, although was concise and well written, came across as autonomous. Being new to this field, I originally thought that the AI was going to blow the human written tweets out of the water with how much engagement it could generate. But it seems when something is written by a person, we tend to read it as if someone is talking to us through their written words. Whereas for AI, reading those posts tend to read in our minds as just that, written by an AI. I am excited to see how the technology grows though! I have no doubt in the future the differences will dwindle down to where none of us will be able to tell, and with the emergence of new AI technology that gap is only decreasing. What an exciting thing to witness in our time!

Thanks for reading my first little post, I am happy to receive feedback and I hope my little rant is just as interesting to you as it is to me!
