The troll-bots have turned every argument on twitter and facebook, into a nightmare of tautological vulgarities. No steadfast soul can survive the onslaught of unrelenting beings, who's only purpose is the eradication of the human threat. AI trolls are practically indistinguishable from real liberals, it is not advisable to confront any suspected AI troll-bot comments.
The brain transfer device is still in the prototype phase, but when it is fully operational the device will be used to transfer Bernie's brain onto the internet.

Well, a bot isnt the same as a paid human poster. What is being described in the op is AI bots (computer programs) advanced enough to have a real conversation via text over the internet, but not only that, they are designed to be expert "trolls", making any attempt to reason with them pointless.
Whether or not those exist, as far as I know, is up for debate. But I wouldn't be surprised.
ATS member diggindirt seems to know something, based on his/her/zer? post in this thread. And what an appropriate username for the topic (of political campaigning).

I really, really enjoyed this post!
I first detected AI Troll Bots back around 2008.
DARPA had apparently invented them by then, as the case I'm referring to was right here in ATS.
There was this "9/11 No Planes" melodrama playing out. This site was under siege for a year. One of them even infected John Lear's brain!
It was so off the chain this lot and their methods that the mods had to do this crazy crackdown thing (big banner up on the top of the 9/11 Forum), draconian measures of wiping entire posts out one after another (I loved the art the guys face thy made for the "9/11 Madness" button thing they'd post in deleted posts!).
Anyways, it was obvious they were bots because they would post some total crap images coupled with entirely retarded arguments, and then you'd entirely demolish their posts while counter-attacking with with endless photos/etc that disproved their entire premise... yet literally all of their responses after such entirely failed to respond to your responses! They'd just keep rehashing the same crap they started with while only kind of sort of dealing with YOU specifically (but hardly your content). They could respond well to you about their content, but yours would get messy and avoided.
They had all these different different categories of quazi-related jibberyjoo, such as: space beams, cgi airplanes, suitcase micronukes, sublimated cars, and so on.
I sort of emulated their their computerized ways by making these huge strips (like dozens and dozens of photos, links, etc) of total devastation about all of their stuff that I would sort of quote in when relevant. Thread after thread I would do this and the same list of No Planer Bots "Members" would always talk like it never even happened, continue on as if they were 101% correct about all of their crap.
Mind you the bots were generating more and more threads covering their list of topics every single day, and they'd always get flagged right up as the big deal, all these supporting backup posts would flow in. The general tactic of their scripts was when you'd post your demolition materials then bang bang bang there'd real quick by multiple posts (multiple "members") to try and quickly drown out what you posted, that is push it to the next page, then keep talking as if they had been dominating the thread topic the entire time, so any new comer that wants to click tot he end and see who's winning well guess what!
I could go find some examples and lay them out. I dont think I actually called them bots but all that mess, their tactics I'm talking about above, there should be multiple threads where I would call out the tactic.
I wish I was just being sarcastic about any of this, as that whole mass "No Planers" affair entirely put an end to the 9/11 Truth movement (I mean damn near single handedly).

The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda.
