There's bots all over various subs calling this AI and saying how grateful we actually are to have him visiting.

Bizarre and scary in equal measure.

If a politician or news account (eg Virgin Media, The Journal, Social Democrats etc) post on TikTok, there are so many bots commenting that there is no point in me leaving a supportive comment. I just liked the posts and moved on (until I deleted the app). So it’s very bad on any platforms I’ve seen.

The mods of r/askireland are trying to address the concerns of members about the bot problem and the examples are very convincing as genuine accounts: https://safereddit.com/r/AskIreland/comments/1wak0dj/taking_action_against_bots/

Whether it’s podcasts, social media, etc, the fash own the internet at the moment.
