    Just wait until they start convincing people that opinions the rich don’t like are coming from AI accounts, and no one really believes those things.

    It’s not about driving engagement. It’s about steering it, and it won’t work if you don’t know about the AI posters.

      Actually that’s already happening (in a similar form).

      Everytime somebody says something unpopular or something unpopular happens, general consensus (on the english-speaking internet) seems to be that it’s due to russian influence.

        But that’s because the russian government specializes in supporting or amplifying anything that creates contention and controversy. Even we arguing about it today is an indirect result of russian psyop.

            It’s literally this meme. Support the rich against the poor, poor against the rich, white against the black, black against the white until they fight amongst themselves. Until all that’s left are free cookies.
