I think the vast majority of shill accounts are under the control of people. Lots of it is automated, but it's not like an army of robots or something.
I dunno if it’s vast majority or just the majority. Some people love to troll. Some people make 30 accounts to upvote their own stuff. Some people write scripts. Some people just want to watch the world burn. These days an AI or bot doesn’t even have to be complete to be a stubborn arguer in an online space. But where people lose interest in doing it after a while a bot never does.

I think that people believing they are talking to robots is what makes them lose interest. See how they get the message out that these shills are really just an AI?

No real way to make people keep interest in an online argument. But also no real easy Turing test to check for bot or human response either.
My belief is that almost all of the shilling is driven by human intelligence.
