Doubao PR Head Exposes 100 Fake Accounts Attacking Rivals, Urges Fair AI Competition

Liu Xing, the PR head of Doubao, recently posted that nearly 100 accounts from the same IP region were pretending to be students, spreading fake reviews to praise a rival AI product while badmouthing Doubao. These posts are full of flaws but could mislead students and parents during the critical college application period. Liu called for a healthy industry environment, warning that organized attacks hurt everyone. As 2026 college entrance exam results come out, Chinese AI platforms are launching AI tools for application help, sparking a new AI battle. China's Education Ministry also upgraded its official 'Sunshine Volunteer' system for guidance, and warned about fake apps in app stores.
