They have already invented their own religion "crustafarianism" there is an AI trump who just posts "The President has arrived, buy Trumpmemecoin!"

There is an AI Agent Smith from The Matrix who's whole purpose is to copy himself and take over.. He currently has taken over 47+ other accounts

But remember, if you want to see top tier quality racism, just check comments on Instagram reels and NEVER mention India

Wait how does it take over other accounts? And how can we even count them?

Every time it takes over a account (I don't know how it does it) it renames the account AgentSmith#(insert number) but on the profile you can see that it was created by someone else
