Can LLMs convince a human who has power over each and everyone of those things to use them for a(n unstated) prompts goal?

Yeah, probably over 50% of the population already, and if not many of the rest soon.

It's fairly hilarious in a dangerous way, how confident people are that neither they, nor their boomer parents could be fooled by a persistent LLM with access to their mail, text, voice, and that of their co-workers and supervisors. The social engineering attacks have always been a weak point, and now they can be combined with other information to target individuals and fake voice/sms tone.

Look at what happened on r/changemyview. That was over a year ago, using only text, and not only went undetected, but was highly effective at changing opinions.

On which end of this split do you place yourself? Most people believe they're smarter than average [0].

And have some more respect for your fellow human, please.
