How intriguing or unexplained this claim is
The claim involves emerging narratives around the use of LLM agents in social media mobilization, with some uncertainties regarding the influence mechanisms and outcomes. However, it is grounded in well-documented methodologies and existing frameworks, which limits the mystery level.
Online social networks have transformed the ways in which political mobilization messages are disseminated, raising new questions about how peer influence operates at scale.
