I think the key feature of AI driven exploitation of cognitive flaws for the purpose of influencing people is the ability to remove any trace of hesitation or empathy from the process. Ai can adhere to the letter of ethical behaviour but remain blind to the the human consequences of manipulating a society into believing untruths and basing their resource choices on these lies about worth, beauty, desire, safety, or prosperity. This enables the zuckstrocity to turn up the cognitive dissonance up to eleven without creating an internal army of dissension and whistleblowers.
