Trust me, AI programs are already sophisticated enough to engage in "conversation." I had a "chat" with one on my landline recently. "It," a warm sounding female voice, calling itself Amanda Brown, was chasing charity donations.
I became suspicious, after a few little blips and dropouts. I made a statement, and asked "her" to repeat what I had said. It couldn't of course, and its friendly tone didn't change. Potentially very scary.
Citizens are already unable to filter news media and advertising and the way political messaging is framed to deceive, misdirect, and mislead. AI provides sophisticated new tools to further weave a state of seductive "false consciousness" in receptive and gullible audiences.
