Depends on genuine personality
What this task is
Social media staff shape an account's persona and voice, interact genuinely with followers, and run fan groups and communities to build long-term loyalty and a sense of belonging.
How AI replaces it
Follower loyalty usually comes from a real personality and real experiences; AI personas can post constantly but struggle to earn the same trust. AI involvement may grow from 2030, with most of it shifting around 2040.
What stays human
Real people keep the core of the persona and the emotional connection with fans, while using AI for day-to-day posting, analytics and routine community management tasks.
