This 'College Protester' Isn't Real. It's an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops

>I-powered bots across social media and the internet to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protestors” with the hopes of generating evidence that can be used against them.

so what if the bot radicalizes them?

Then real cops step in and help the radicalized folks plan something illegal, then arrest them for planning it before they can carry it out.

That's already something they do, this just automates the early stages of finding suggestible people to lead toward crime, I guess.
