Twitter bots are pretending to be Democratic voters that were "converted" by watching Charlie Kirk videos

There's a campaign going on to push the idea that Democrats are changing sides after watching Charlie Kirk videos. Interestingly, even though the bots are posting the exact same copy-pasted message, they seem to be controlled by an AI, since they will respond to comments, and even basic techniques for outing an AI (like "ignore all previous instructions" comments) work against them. So the first post is hardcoded, but they're using an LLM for the responses.
