Case Studies of Profiting by Manipulating Market Sentiment with AI

A post-95s individual used AI to generate 17 articles, all published on Baidu's Baijiahao platform. The content consisted of fabricated reports about damage to a soda ash manufacturing plant. Although the total views did not exceed 10,000, the posts successfully manipulated market sentiment. The individual then traded soda ash futures and made over 80,000 RMB in profit. Ultimately, the Securities Regulatory Bureau confiscated the illegal gains and imposed an additional fine of 400,000 RMB.
