> Their final usecase is pushing ads or extorting data from unsuspecting people's interactions anyway so who are they kidding with their ethics..
The final usecase is actually brainwashing. There could come a future where every single comment you read online is not a human but rather a multi-faceted AI tailored specifically for you. Your current worldview could be measured and the AI could steer you closer towards a "target" worldview.
The comments presented to you could also be moderately coordinated with comments presented to other humans in your real-life circles to establish "serendipity" where you and your friends/family/coworkers evolve similar ideas/worldviews together to reinforce your new beliefs. And even catalyze coordinated human efforts towards common goals.
Doing this could lead most people to believe almost anything. Theoretically this could also be coupled with VR chatrooms to enhance salience.
