Could this be applied to mass propaganda and disinformation campaigns on social networks?

Like not only generating and testing narratives but then even use it for agents to generate engagement.

We've seen massive bot networks unchecked on X to help tilt election results, so probably this could be deployed there too.

Do you have more details on this?

Let me guess. These bot networks that influence elections are from your political adversaries. Never from the party you support or your government when they're in power.

The election results tilting talk is tired and hypocritical.

So this is all delusions:

> The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), in partnership with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), the Netherlands General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), and Netherlands Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD), and the National Police of the Netherlands (DNP) (hereinafter referred to as the authoring organizations), seek to warn of a covert tool used for disinformation campaigns benefiting the Russian Government. Affiliates of RT (formerly Russia Today), a Russian state-sponsored media organization, used this tool to create fictitious online personas, representing a number of nationalities, to post content on a social media platform.[0]

Nothing is happening?

Maybe the true question is, why are you going out of your way to make an effort to dismiss and normalize election interference and the usage of AI and bot farms to spread misinformation?
