Basically you can now assign every single living human being their own 24/7 con artist and power that con artist with reams of personalized surveillance information about each target purchased from data brokers. Everyone will have a highly informed personalized con artist following them around 24/7 trying to convince them of whatever the controller of that bot has programmed it to sell.
We're creating the propaganda equivalent of the hydrogen bomb.
