Personally I love how they found the AI could be very persuasive by lying.
why wouldn't that be the case, all the most persuasive humans are liars too. fantasy sells better than the truth.
I mean, the joke is that AI doesn't tell you things that are meaningfully true, but rather is a machine for guessing next words to a standard of utility. And yes, lying is a good way to arbitrarily persuade people, especially if you're unmoored to any social relation with them.
