How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

It isn't even a secret anymore at this point. All the things the CIA did, you can look it up on Wikipedia. From MKUltra up to the Congress for Cultural Freedom. It isn't a secret.
