  • A bit of both I think.

    As a Facebook group administrator I get to see a fair bit of definite fake stuff. Any time someone posts anything with the word stolen for example, a number of fake accounts will attempt to post with names of people who ‘can help get your things back’.

    They recently got a bit more advanced and will sometimes use 'I’m new here" type posts or similar tricks to try to trick the admin into letting them into the group. It’s a public group, hence a juicy target. There’s several tricks an AI can use.

    That said, we have a fair share of legit nutters, rednecks, NIMBYs, homophobes etc as well - I just suspect some of the EV and renewable energy hatred for example, on Facebook is manufactured.

    A redditor replied ‘abcde worked well for me last time I needed to rip a cd’ eight months ago.

    Another replied

    ‘Thank you! I didn’t knew if you were joking about the name, but it’s a real package that stands for “A Better CD Encoder” 😂 I’ll be sure to check it out!!!’

    Google says ‘Exact Audio Copy is proprietary freeware, free for non-commercial use. It is written for Microsoft Windows. It has also been tested to work under newer versions of Wine on Linux. EAC is used to convert the tracks on standard audio CDs to WAV files, which can then be transcoded into other formats.’
