I see a Black Mirror episode where millions of AI generated girls influence an army of 14 year old real girls to take over the world and transfer power to the AI makers afterwards. It will be like "the Wave" [0] but fully a-b test optimized and on a world scale.

In addition to Lord of the Flies, we had to watch a movie in my high school (long ago) about student movements getting out of hand, I think it was called The Wave.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0083316/ might be it
There was an earlier, but seemingly less popular American TV movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(1981_film)

I'd rather recommend the original, 'The Wave', from 1981.

I saw this in school as a 17 year old and it has never left me, I keep recommending this movie to people. Especially with the re-surgence of the nationalist movement in Europe (and elsewhere) this is as relevant as it ever was.
Which was made into a 40 minute film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICng-KRxXJ8 called the wave
