I’ve noticed an increase in rage-baiting accounts on X that appear to be AI bots or trolls impersonating people from specific countries in order to stir up conflict. One common sign is unnatural phrasing or sudden switches between languages in their post history.
Countries such as India, Japan and Turkey seem to be heavily targeted by this kind of activity, with fake identities being used to fuel tensions between countries, create artificial “cyber wars,” and spread smear campaigns. I suspect Koreans may be facing similar attacks.
For example, the recent “Southeast Asia vs. Korea” drama was quickly framed as being caused by “racist Koreans.” What surprises me is how easily these narratives can be accepted as fact, even though it’s relatively easy for anyone to fake a nationality online using AI translation and VPNs.
This isn’t just a hypothetical possibility. Recent reports from OpenAI have shown that some groups are using AI to create fake accounts to stir up conflict and influence public opinion.
For actual Koreans or people living in Korea: have you noticed an increase in fake accounts impersonating Koreans specifically to provoke hatred online?
I’d be interested to hear your experiences and thoughts.
