I did that on a solo fintech project 8 years ago

Don’t need AI, just string concatenation and an array of sentence types to randomly choose from when the article cron job starts

Used bing’s API to search for certain macro market events and used stocktwits api to see which stocks moved the most and would make headlines and aggregate articles about those

which it would post to twitter

which would drive people to the no-login no-password app and subscription service (used ids based on in-app subscription ID or something else if using a browser)

which was all populated with algorithmic trades lol

turned it off because I didn't like updating all the APIs and compute instances as the services they relied on kept changing, but yeah self advertising self operating money printer
