Why would you think that it takes an AI to spread misinformation through social media?

Why would you think that it takes an AI to spread misinformation through social media?
Where did I say AI was necessary to spread misinformation?
All I was saying, is that AI makes these crazy misinformation mires even more intractable than they are presently.
Therefore, ultimately, when it is no longer possible to discern whether you're dealing with a human, or an AI, then presumably the rulers will step in with their pre-packaged 'solution' of cryptographically linked identifiers which are then used to prove that you are a real person engaging online, and not an AI or deepfake, etc.
You kind of jumped too quickly there, didn't really assess what I was saying. If you read it again, you'll see I never said that AI was necessary for misinformation to exist online - AI just makes the existing misinformation situation even worse, to the point of intractability.
