Reminds me of current day politics. Lots of public statements which are obviously false, and you would think the politician knows they are false, but utter them anyway because they also know lot of their supporters buy what they are saying anyway.

Now politicians also know something about their supporters so they will adapt their statements to what they think they can get away with it. But, I wonder if this leads to a two-party-system where one party attracts stupid followers and another attracts the smarter ones?

In terms of AI, we might see LLMs specialized to attract more stupid audience and others meant to attract those who appreciate correctness and facts.
