Are you saying that it's mostly AI? What are you saying exactly?

AI, trolls, political groups, intelligence agencies, foreign adversaries, etc.

Do not let the internet define reality for you.

Okay, where can I get reality? Maybe I can get it from the news media, who will just take a sampling of posts on the internet? Maybe I can get it from academia, who will do the same? Or can I cut out the middlemen?

So, every poster on the internet is a real and authentic person saying real and authentic things? Cmon, try harder.

Sample garbage and you get garbage results.
