People will look at this and think "bad lawyers, you should not do this." But please note that this is literally how the advertising (or, e.g., entire social media) industry works: humans are subtly (or not so subtly) manipulated to do things advantageous to third parties.

Some might respond that "advertising is not illegal," but this argument is tantamount to saying that you should expect ads to be minimally faithful and maximally manipulative. In other words, economic/ social participants can reasonably do anything within the allowance of the law (or worse, wherever cost/benefit makes it optimal). Eventually the absolute disregard for truth or any sort of higher level value was going to give way to our present state of corruption. AI just makes it easier.
