Haha, sure! Some of the studies I read about, though admittedly I haven't read most of them in depth: https://www.fbk.eu/en/press-releases/artificial-intelligence... https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-61345-5 https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.09662 https://arxiv.org/html/2411.06837v2 https://arxiv.org/html/2604.22109v2

They don't need to be omnipotent, and they're already human-or-superhuman at persuasion: https://arxiv.org/html/2411.06837v2 This may just be that humans find long arguments more persuasive than short ones, obviously LLMs can do that easily, but the outcome is I think more important than the mechanism.
