Niebezpiecznik wrote that a German journalist found the original graphic that triggered reports yesterday and today about a decline in the activity of Russian bots and trolls. According to the author, it was created by "24-year-old steward Frank" and marked as AI-generated. Niebezpiecznik added that the politicians sharing the graphic did not maintain this designation nor indicate the source. The author reported that the German institute Cemas, the Hasso Plattner institute, and the think tank Polisphere denied observing a decrease in the number of posts that could be associated with the attack on Yandex. As he quoted, these institutions stated that the data they collected did not show a decline in the activity of existing bots or the rate of new ones being created. Niebezpiecznik reminded that Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said that the ABW recorded a radical decrease in the activity of Russian bots online, observed worldwide after the bombing of three data centers. He noted that the ABW has not yet published data on this matter and expressed hope that it would. He added that according to available information, the term "worldwide" did not include Germany. #dezinformacja #boty #AI (translated)
