Interesting. Why would more manipulative people and ones with more focus on self-interest use AI more than other people? Because they're more likely to take shortcuts while doing stuff? Or is there any other direct benefit for them?
I would think because ai is basically just a yes man they can get instant gratification from. Easier to manipulate than a real human, when they're wrong, you can berate them without year of pushback.
