〝One such effort is Head-Post, which publishes daily content about U.S. politics in both English and Spanish. Its Spanish website lists two names identified as reporters with what appear to be AI-generated headshots. Neither author, both of whom have pumped out thousands of posts since last year, has a record of writing for other publications.〞

For example, 18 of them use the tagline “Hi there, want more beer?” in their description.〞

«Such influencers typically don’t start out peddling rumours and disinformation. But some notice that, once they start talking about a certain controversial topic, they receive more engagement on social media.
