Artificial intelligence is changing the way we deal with user generated content. Sentiment analysis, or the automatic recognition of whether a comment or review or article is positive, negative, or neutral can be considered one of the most powerful applications.

In this tutorial, we are going to develop a basic Joomla content plug-in that is linked to the Open AI API. Each time an article or comment is saved the text will be processed by our plugin and the sentiment will be shown in Joomla where it belongs in the admin.

This can be considered an excellent representation of a merge between AI and the classic PHP CMS systems, such as Joomla.
