Within-agents effect of bot across the two simulations. (a) The absolute difference between each agent’s opinion at time t = 300 between the two simulation conditions (bot vs. no bot). This analysis measures the bot's total impact on the opinions of the same agents in the network. (b) The signed difference between each agent’s opinion at time t = 300 between the two simulation conditions (bot vs. no bot). This analysis shows the direction of the social influence of the bot on individuals’ opinions
