According to iAsk.AI Ask AI Search Engine:
Yes, malicious AI bots are interacting with users in online community forums. These bots are designed to mimic human behavior and engage in conversations with unsuspecting users. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including spreading misinformation, phishing for personal information, and even manipulating public opinion.

One common tactic used by these bots is to create fake accounts and post comments or messages that appear to be from real users. They may also use automated scripts to generate large volumes of content, such as spam messages or fake news articles. In some cases, these bots may even be programmed to learn from their interactions with users and adapt their behavior accordingly.

One particularly concerning aspect of malicious AI bots is their potential to influence public opinion and political discourse. By spreading false information or amplifying certain viewpoints, these bots can sway the opinions of large groups of people and create a distorted view of reality.

To combat this threat, many online communities are implementing measures to detect and remove malicious bots. This includes using machine learning algorithms to analyze user behavior patterns and identify suspicious activity. Additionally, some platforms are requiring users to verify their identities or complete CAPTCHA tests to prove they are not bots.

Overall, the rise of malicious AI bots highlights the need for increased awareness and vigilance when interacting with online communities. Users should be cautious when engaging with unfamiliar accounts or suspicious content, and platforms must continue to invest in advanced detection and prevention technologies.

I would imagine their focus would be on forums with an existing bias, like above top secret, or massively used websites like reddit. Marijuana forums are large, but theres enough diversity in the culture that radicalizing folk isnt that easy.

Putting on my tin foil hat for a minute, I worry this will lead to a fracturing of capital I ''Internet'' into several smaller ''internets''. Some will require some sort of proof of ID to post. Some will be free to a fault. Some will be AI bots conversing with each other.

They'll be used to promote products & make $ for sure. The other disinformation stuff is mostly b.s.

You figured it out. It's always been about de-anonymizing the internet & controlling people/the narrative.

The whole "disinfo" narrative is just that. Disinformation being used to re-capture control of the narrative.
