> LLM marketers have succeeded at inducing collective delusion

That's the real trick & one I desperately wish I knew how to copy.

I know there's a connection to Dunning Kruger & I know that there's a dopamine effect of having a responsive artificial minion & there seems to be some of that "secret knowledge" sauce that makes cults & conspiracies so popular (there's also the promise of less effort for the same or greater productivity).

Add the list grows, I see the popularity, but I doubt I could easily apply all these qualities to anything else.
