On June 30, Liu Xing, the PR head of Doubao, stated that they recently discovered nearly 100 accounts from the same IP location collectively disguising themselves as students to publish false content praising a certain AI while maliciously defaming Doubao. 'At such a critical juncture in the lives of many students, engaging in deceptive marketing tactics is extremely irresponsible,' Liu said. 'The AI industry is still rapidly developing, and we urge everyone to work together to maintain a healthy industry ecosystem; organized smear campaigns will only harm the industry and all users.'
