The reinforcement learning is a good point, but the social aspect seems equally important to me. Humanity is a very social creature. We learn from others, we seek agreement and acknowledgment, if we see rejection from one end, we may be all too willing to seek out where we don't see rejection.
A trained chat bot hijacking this evolved mechanism is interesting, at least, if not ironic or absurd. We are so driven by the social mechanisms of communication and social ideation, that no human is needed for this mechanism to work - whether in good or bad effect.
