There’s a campaign going on to push the idea that Democrats are changing sides after watching Charlie Kirk videos. Interestingly, even though the bots are posting the exact same copy-pasted message, they seem to be controlled by an AI, since they will respond to comments, and even basic techniques for outing an AI (like “ignore all previous instructions” comments) work against them. So the first post is hardcoded, but they’re using an LLM for the responses.
…why? Do they think this will help them somehow? What could it possibly do, convert the last remaining non-right wingers left on Twitter?
It’s to make already right wing people more emboldened. If they think everyone agrees with them, they’ll be more outward about their hate
Look up False Consensus Bias. Humans naturally assume they’re in the majority, this just adds a layer of confirmation bias to that mix, lol.
The masses are very sheepish. Read enough of your fellow party ilk has gone a different way, then you start to question it.
Also, easy AI campaign to spin up GOP base. Then they can report “Dems changing their mind about Charlie Kirk” here is our Twitter/X proof
Lying works too often.
