Sensationalist rubbish. The first sentence doesn't line up with lived experience:

> AI agents have evolved from simple heuristics to sophisticated systems that analyze human personalities in real time to optimize persuasion

Who among us feels delight when forced to deal with an AI "service rep"? The only people chatbots help are middle managers trying to keep their call center budgets down.

My mind goes immediately to a 1980's joke: "What's the difference between a computer salesman, and a used car salesman?" "The used car salesman knows when he is lying to you."

And car salesmen (humans) might actually care, AIs probably wont, no matter the situation.
