Intelligence lets a guy with a moustache convince millions of people to invade Poland and kill all the Jews. Its not his liver or his kidneys, its his brain. Feel free to call this type of thing "charisma" but for the purposes of thinking about AI it still comes from the but doing the thinking. And there's actually a pretty good correlation between being good at the various types of mental things, including charisma and IQ (e.g. presidents tend to be over iq 120), because the brain is a very complex organ with many ways it can get screwed up. Would an AI necessarily be super charismatic initially? Maybe not, but don't assume greater intelligence won't lead to greater charisma. (Yes, I know it wasn't just Hitler doing the convincing, but again, that distinction isn't important here as making a message come from many different people is trivial marketing 201/propaganda 101 in the 21st century)

Feel free to call this type of thing "charisma" but for the purposes of thinking about AI it still comes from the but doing the thinking. Try to get people to do what you want as an intelligent aspie without charisma, and see how far this goes... even if you have 60+ IQ points over Hitler. Also, Hitler was mostly redundant. He convinced people because they were ready to convinced - Germans would have gone to that one way or another... (they wouldn't have had killed the Jews - that was his obsession and "contribution", but the revenge for the WWI defeat and expansionism and WWII were brewing and inevitable in Germany, and the brand of fascism was also on the rise in places that felt they got the short end of the stick during colonialism, which is why similar movements rose in Japan and Italy and Spain and elsewhere, even before Hitler became a thing. Hitler just rode the currents to sell his particular brand of snake-oil).
