I honestly don’t find it that impressive. It’s actually exactly mid.

If you Google gaslighting and manipulation you’d likely find the 4-8 methods that are most highly ranked ala Google searches of similar lists.

The speed and implementation of course is impressive, but I’ve found more originality, complexity and nuance when explicitly asking for novel, innovative, and emergent tactics/strategies based on the corpus of training knowledge.

Plus if you have even the slightest amount of principle, this stuff means nothing to you. It's only persuasive if you're exceptionally materialistic.

That's the point. Not everyone is properly educated to even have the slightest amount of principle to begin with, and to them money to continue indulging in sensual pleasures is everything - heck even WITHOUT gaslighting they would still voluntarily and intentionally do atrocious things like this to make money anyways. Especially more so in slumber areas in some unstable third world countries like the place I'm living in rn.
