It almost seems like, some conspiracy theories aren't that crazy after all.
I think it's very likely that profit-driven social media sites use fake accounts to boost their stats to advertisers and the like. Throw in corporations using fake accounts to sell shit as well as govt agencies using fake accounts to push their narratives, and the mainstream internet seems like a much more lonely place.
Not sure if trolling or not.... It's trivially disprovable.
It's an interesting thought experiment though
I would maybe buy it if real people hadn't established a presence on the internet well before llm's could pass a Turing test.
Cold fusion has a very interesting video about this topic and how AI fits into all of this.
