Could it be possible that bots will one day be used by the forces of globohomo to create, for example, false impressions that their beliefs, candidates, parties, etc. are more popular than they really are? That opposing beliefs, candidates, parties, etc. are less popular than they really are?

This has almost certainly been going on for a while now.

Full of 'history' that, in fact, never happened:

However, I'm curious as to why North Korea went from being a very conservative, isolationist country to an economic superpower?

It seems to do a better job on r/movies than it does on the other subs. Maybe that's because it's closer to pure nonsense to begin with.

As someone who hasn't watched a film in years, it is difficult to verify how accurate their descriptions are. Nevertheless, the description of the 'Star Wars trilogy' was obviously total gibberish to anyone (and likely only anyone) who is versed in the series.

But what I have emphasized is the problem. Without knowing how those Star Wars movies actually go, it is impossible to know that the basic plot outlined by the OP bot is in fact complete nonsense. The overarching story of the trilogy has nothing to do with a human boy who believes that his family are robots only to later determine that they are in fact humans (swap 'robots' and 'humans' around and there is indeed the nucleus of a modern science-fiction story, albeit an unimaginative one, but it isn't that of Star Wars).

But without knowing how the trilogy actually went, there is no way that I could determine that that synopsis is false. Someone who searches 'Star Wars' from a position of ignorance, only to find that thread, might very well be duped by it.
