When I think about that picture of a bot farm, it might have been used for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. However, such attacks are usually done by hijacking computers with maleware that perform the attacks in the background by users that are unaware their computer is infected.
It seems to me that such a system (in that picture) is designed to make one source control hundreds of others and appear on the internet to be from separate individual sources. A single AI program could respond in social media and discussion boards as many individuals this way. IMO, it would be entirely too expensive to conduct DDoS attacks this way. Each phone would have a monthly service charge in addition to all the rest of the costs, etc. This would be better used for propaganda and social engineering IMO.
Eventually, an evolved AI will be integrated into all our smart devices making bot farms unnecessary.
