Pay attention to how AI was used to persuade users to change opinions in a r/changmyview, and they were roughly 18% effective verses humans being a little more than 2% successful. I’ve been saying AI was about propagandizing people given how it would have major errors or falsehoods (hallucinations) by feeding it a lot of propaganda to start with, but this really tells the tale of how they’re adapting the system for propagandizing people by gobbling up data to get their psychological profile and using that to manipulate them. And they’re working towards having AI in everything, and for you to rely on it more than a search engine. And there is also the angle of giving intimate access to yourself to demonic agents who can even more effectively manipulate you, as some AI users are having psychological breakdowns.
