@atomicpoet yeah sadly. I was monitoring a forum that sells fake / sock accounts.

And they are sadly like that, fake engagements, stolen photos on instagram being reposted, fake follows and likes.

There's a reason why all the sudden you see the AI hype. I'm pretty sure we're already seeing IG accounts with AI generated photos, captions, and comments, which are eventually sold for crypto scammers and election disinformation accounts.
