With AI we’re heading towards an age of internet control, not chaos. Control of context is the key to winning the information war. Think about it from a risk-management perspective: if bots can influence public opinion on a policy/product then it’s within your best interest to mitigate the effects of those hordes. In the 2010s there wasn't much you could do but with AI we have now you can effectively combat bots in real time by analyzing posting patterns of accounts to determine fakes from the real ones and delete them/shadow ban them. I have a friend who works in marketing and this is very real tech that is being used to combat review-bombs and help sell product. It wouldn’t make much sense if the government wasn’t using something similar.
