Tell HN: Seeing an HN ad for YC company that portends AI-powered blogspam
I just saw the following ad on HN.
> Contentedge (YC W17) is hiring to build AI content writing software for SEO
From its landing page there's the following sentence:
> Instantly create briefs or text that’s modeled after high-ranking content and sounds human-made.
This kind of service seems specifically designed to drown the Internet in blogspam, even more so than it already is, and hence worries me.
I know it was inevitable given the rise of convincing AI text generation and sure if one company doesn't do it another will (and no doubt there are already those that do), but please Contentedge, reconsider if this is truly the product you want to create for this world.
