I feel it's worth pointing out, when news articles post that kind of shit up, it's almost certainly either part of the marketing involving the thing itself and an ad or they do zero checking into these accounts and just take what they see at face value. I would not be shocked if as funny as it is to laugh at this stuff the 'real' follower counts for these AI models is probably fake as fuck. You always check the engagement going on for these places and if there's barely anyone posting it's probably safe to dismiss it.
I know the autists on this platform will know this for the most part, but any new people that come on thinking this is real need to be told regularly. Everything on the internet is fake and gay. One thing I found fascinating during my time checking out various bits of protest events RL and things like that is the media would frequently exaggerate attendance and they would take photos and video in such a way to make you think it's bigger and more chaotic than it really is.
It's almost always a few hundred sperging retards at most going at each other with a heavy police presence watching them and a bunch of confused looking normies. You very rarely get January 6th levels of attendance at these types of events. I bet if we go to the actual account in question it's just going to be a dead account that spews out gibberish every now and then automatically with 500,000 followers and no interaction happening.
