Bots are automated to perform a specific task. Human users in comparison are subject to emotions and error. These emotions allow users routines on social media to vary and change, while a bot complete a specific task without be influenced by anything other than code. This makes them great for executing tasks like deleting old tweets or identifying something.

As an avid Star Wars fan, I counted down the days until the Last Jedi was released. After seeing the movie, I was content with the storyline and invested in the different action shots. I was suprised when I saw the amount of hate the film recieved. While it was not the best movie in the Skywalker saga (that title goes to Empire Strikes Back), it was still a good, action-packed movie. Learning the amount of bots that were used to create these reviews is quite interesting to me. Star Wars originally created as a political statement following Nixon's presidency so that it was now being used as a political weapon in a different sense of comments is on the contrary to the film's original goal

These two questions are extremely relevant, especially as AI and social engineering grows more prevalent in social media platforms. AI is being used to spread disinformation or misinformation to large crowds of people. For example, during the 2024 election. Donald Trump used AI generated images to exaggerate the celebrity support he had and natural disasters in the US. His use of AI to convince people of false information was extremely dangerous because individuals did not see the difference between real life and the social media posts they were viewing. While Social Media can be great to connect with a large network of people. For example, I am able to keep in contact with friends from middle school who now live in different countries, it is also exteremly scary because individuals can use the widespread tech to share manipulated or fake content.

Egoism is interesting because it implies in the goal that if everyone does what will maximize their own net good, overall the goodness in the world outweighs the evil. But every culture, person, and place has it's own relative perspective on what goodness is and what the goodness that one ought to do includes. This makes the entire theory relative because it is subjective.
