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

I wonder how much of this will just encourage protests and radicalization. If your agent is trained to match a profile of a radical, then it necessarily is spreading and encouraging that radical messaging in order to fit in and gain trust. At least with real agents there is a plausible mechanism for their judgement to filter out who is targeted and they can't infinitely propagate like the AI could.

Imagine people using bots to make interdepartmental conflicts that turn violent. The guy in precinct 32 is sleeping with my wife, I'm sure of it, I've seen the proof online. That kind of stuff.

It's difficult to imagine there is any room remaining on the margins for American cops to be any more extreme than they already are.

The goal would be to fracture their organizations so that they're attacking each other instead of the protesters.
