This is already happening. Twitter / X is a great example. Look at replies to posts by Elon. Lots of accounts that use the same talking points, reply to each other, retweet each other, and are often retweeted by Elon. It’s manufactured dialogue that crowds out real replies by humans.

I'm not sure this works forever. A big chunk of the real humans will eventually figure out that the real human conversation is somewhere else. At that point, X loses much of its influence. Sure, you can - with great effort - shout louder than all the bots with opposing views. So what? Nobody real is listening.
