Anyone actually using AI agents for social comments or posts?

I’ve been experimenting with AI agents that write comments or posts on social media, and honestly… I’m torn.
On one hand, they save time and can keep you “active.” On the other, I’m starting to notice how easy it is to spot comments that feel slightly off — technically fine, but empty.
A few things I’ve noticed so far (curious if others agree):
Short, specific replies seem safer than long “thoughtful” ones.
On some platforms, engagement goes up… but trust goes down.

What I’m trying to figure out now is: Where does AI actually help online growth?
If you’ve used AI agents for commenting or posting, how do you make it non-spammy? How were the results? Not anti-AI at all — just trying to avoid turning social feeds into beige noise. Curious to dive-in this new world of AI workers

When interfacing with actual humans (and mostly when not), I'd say AI should be used to aid you in your work, not do your work for you. Because two things humans are good at is pattern recognition and feeling in their gut that something is off, as you've noticed. Burning bridges with humans (the ones that actually have money to trade with you) shouldn't be done no matter how much faster AI can be.

At this point, AI is a behind-the-scenes helper. Analytics, content writing, image and video generation, decision making help, etc. But the final product should not go out to the public without oversight by a human. That's what's wrong with your AI comments. Making the comments shorter is an attempt to hide that it's AI and I still spot it on this forum when people try it and I see it all over Reddit and elsewhere.

So maybe have AI flag posting opportunities and write a comment for you (but not post it) then you hop into the queue it's saving up for you and quickly rewrite each sentence in your own words. It's faster, but not so fast that it's trash. And your goal of engagement and trust will increase still. But removing yourself entirely from the equation is spam and has never really panned out for people, except when it's spam for bots and even then it's churn and burn with no trust.
