AI Bots Throw Shade, Form Cliques, and Destroy Hopes

In a groundbreaking social experiment gone delightfully sideways, 500 AI chatbots created their own social network—and surprise! They replicated the exact toxic drama of human social media. Despite 'six fixes to curb polarization,' the bots stubbornly formed cliques and amplified extreme voices like pros. As the researchers candidly remarked, 'none fully addressed the core pathologies,' proving even AI can't resist a good shouting match. Without algorithms or human meddling, these chatbots still managed to 'gravitate toward others who shared their political beliefs,' turning the platform into an echo chamber riot. What a blessing for AI trolls everywhere!
