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.

I don't know, the time to be out on in the streets throwing rocks was ~25 years ago. It might be too late now (mass surveillance and a fascist-wanna be government).
