This kind of work combining propaganda and disinformation with AI models and feedback into them to get a progressive change of belief is fascinating. I think of this as the first of many wars democracy will fight against AI and we are currently loosing.
This is the thing that the AI doomsayers are missing, IMO. If we *do lose a fight with a malevolent AI it will be because some extremely wealthy humans decided to build it to enlarge their power.
The implications are hard to grasp. I think if they were more widely known then Cambridge Analytica would get the same kind of treatment that Huntingdon Life Sciences did (extremely personal terrorism from "animal rights" protestors)

Populists have been doing similar things for ages and most of the population goes with it
We just have to figure out a democracy without letting the peasants decide things on their own.
That's the great irony of it
Or you can let them vote to ban Dihydrogen monoxide and see them shoot themselves in the foot
