This is not new. "Politicians" are socialbots generating sentences from
a limited set of "politically correct" chunks (this means: that don't
make sense) and have, still, millions of followers... and cause millions
of deaths too...
And a majority of "research" papers could be made by socialbots too (the
difference with today is that every fake researcher is doing the swindle
by hand---I mean by mouse).
