A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's definitely for troll farming reasons. Most likely they're using it to create legit-seeming accounts that they can then sell to a troll farm who will use it to influence a product or an election or something. Using AI to slightly vary content that they already know goes viral easily makes finding new content to share much cheaper.
