AI Bots Exposed: Pro-Trump Network Spreads Disinformation | JQJO

Researchers have uncovered a network of over 400 AI-powered bot accounts on X, spreading pro-Trump administration messages. These accounts, identified by Alethea and Clemson University, consistently praise figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Karoline Leavitt. However, internal inconsistencies in their messaging regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files have exposed their automated nature. The bots, created in batches last year, often reply to verified users with repetitive, sometimes contradictory statements, highlighting their role in manipulating online perception rather than gaining engagement.
