Artificial Persuasion Takes Over the World

Blurb: Narrates a fictional future where persuasive Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) goes rogue. Inspired in part by the AI Vignettes Project. A fondness for irony will help readers. "AI-powered memetic warfare makes all humans effectively insane." You can't trust any content from anyone you don't know. Phone calls, texts, and emails are poisoned. But the current waste and harm from scammers, influencers, propagandists, marketers, and their associated algorithms are nothing compared to what might happen. Coming AIs might be super-persuaders, and they might have their own very harmful agendas. People being routinely unsure of what's reality is one bad outcome, but there are others worse.
