Not really suprised. Being nice and polite is makes you more persuasive, and LLMs are definitely better at that than the average person.

Regardless, the implications of this can turn out to be dire.

There's good news too. It says the AI can persuade people who hold false beliefs. Maybe it can school people who've been led into delusion bubbles by misinformation?
