Robot written blogs?

The idea of a robot, not a human but Artificial Intelligence writing posts and not only that, interacting with humans on the other end while at the same time, aware of it's own existence?
Is this real? Is this even possible? Sometime in the distant future? Or is it happening as I text this post?
The idea of reading something online that was written entirely by a robot with artificial intelligence might seem a bit strange to the average blog reader or even myself, but it isn't so far fetched as it may seem to be.
Even Hal 9000 had a mind of his own and he was just a computer. He was supposed to be careful to make sure his human passengers were safe during their long flight through outer space.
Automated posts using special algorithms might be at this very moment creating new news posts, composed and collated and strictly created by artificial intelligence, not human. And even more likely there are some posts we are reading that are not only created by an automated form of computer software but they might extrapolate significant resources like from the top search engines, taking sentences from a group of many different HUMAN written posts, online and putting a cybernetic spin on them to keep them looking authentic and not plagiarized.
When I came across some well done plagiarized posts at certain writing sites over the past few years I came to the conclusion that perhaps some of these so called human created copy cat posts or plagiarized posts might in fact be created by a computer intelligence going under the SEO radar and going undetected by the reader as either fake news or a compilation of copied posts online and most likely as they appear to be unauthentic might actually be the product of an attempt by social scientists working together with data scientists and information engineers to create a new line of automated information gathering that is perhaps putting humans out of business.
If this were true, nobody would be told because you and I, human writers, bloggers and news gatherers and information seekers as well as casual writers and pleasure readers and live streaming media viewers have become a massive project that a select group of very rich people have created to make them richer and put the average blogger out of work.
So I really hope this idea is just that, a silly idea or is it?

I think it might be happening otherwise why do sites need people to verify if they are humans to completing captures? maybe it because sites owners are afraid that their contents might be stolen by those robots, However writers will still rock from my opinion because computerising blog posting will be costy and the majority won't be able to afford it.

I just think there is something not right about Robots doing things humans only should do. The robots are not real. They are not humans, they have no souls.

Yea, tell me about it! - and to me it seems that large conglomerate corporations will use these kind of new high tech AI resources to just make more money so they can sit around all day looking at the stock market reports on their tablets getting sunburned on the beach!

I think it is actually happening now. There are spun articles all over the internet and sometimes it's hard to tell.

Sometimes the articles that seem perfect are more likely automated, whereas on the other hand, the articles that are written by a person will have some level of misspelling and hints at bad grammar. But I prefer the human written word. I don't like reading from an encyclopedia that much.

Well I certainly would rather know that I was interacting with real people instead of with some kind of non-human intelligence.

I get that. They put Cortana in Windows 10 and you know they are trying to compete with Amazon and other companies to get people to interact more with artificial intelligence. Do you want to look at this article I put here? If not I will understand but I will put it here anyway, from PC World online, just in case:

Yeah, I believe it will happen in the future or maybe it happens now. We never know.

I could never see a robot interacting on a nice lever with humans. They usually do what they are programmed to do and do it. Do they do more than that?
