Seriously what is the point of these AI profiles?

Seems like everyone has noticed that some of the profiles on here are AI generated. Usually their profile pics are unrealistically glamorous and glossy; if you try to interact with them you soon find the answers make no sense. So these are extremely primitive programs; not only do they not meet the standards of a chatGPT, they are less convincing than your average customer service chatbot. So who is behind them and what is the point of them?

The bizarre mixed messaging dynamic at play here is that SW on the on hand seeks to take down these fake profiles, but on the other hand promotes their own official AI profiles (Luna, Duke, etc.) ... while at the same time regular (and ostensibly human) SW users will support anti-AI posts like this one, yet their own profiles are themselves littered with AI-generated images and/or they make it known that they support politicians who are doing everything they can to keep AI unregulated (in spite of the fact that AI is killing the environment and the energy grid*) and, simultaneously, to stifle a renewable energy sector that was working just fine and was bringing down energy prices.

It's a daily contradiction.

* here's just two examples of many, many articles ... this stuff is not a secret:

@BlueGreenGrey Yes, AI in general is a disaster that for some reason many intelligent people have been swept up in. I understand that the technology has legitimate uses, but chatbots and AI lovers are not that.
