Abstract
This report examines a network of AI-assisted accounts purporting to be from Australia, the United States, or the Philippines, posting AI-generated commentary on X about each country’s politics and culture. It is very likely that this network originates in China and is facilitated by an LLM given the coordination of their messaging and the structure of the content itself.
