This is already widespread, just in private hands. The youtube comments are like 60% bots, especially on political content. "Randomnames1914: I'm a (random age) (random ethnicity and gender) and I will be voting for Candidate Y!" The sock puppet use and AI content makes the internet truly garbage now. It'll soon be FBI ad State Department entrapment bots talking to Marketing bots on an AI generated video or article...
