X Says It Found Chinese Bot Farm Targeting AI Data Center Debate
X said 200 accounts in a suspected 200,000-account bot farm posted anti-data center content to sway debate over AI energy policy.
- Global Government Affairs identified a bot farm of 200,000 accounts linked to Chinese operators, with 200 accounts specifically posting content to manipulate debates about American technology and energy policy.
- The inauthentic accounts used OpenAI to generate illustrations and talking points for their campaign, including AI-generated cartoons depicting data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense.
- Posts claimed data centers drive up household electricity prices and strain power grids, posted 'in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy.'
- Global Government Affairs suspended the accounts for violating its Authenticity policy; Even President Donald Trump argued those opposing data centers are 'making a mistake.'
- Bloomberg reported electricity costs near data centers have risen up to 267%, while residents in Georgia raised concerns over one development using 29 million gallons of water before billing.
