Very interesting! Does that also mean that (convincingly pretending) to know the subject/issue is at least as important as knowing the recipient you want to talk into something?

@talkinto @sociology Knowing the recipient doesn't even play a role here (yet) because the messages weren't customized for any specific audiences. But of one could add that as another task for AI-generated messages.

Quite sure that it will be one of the next tasks. And then I'd love to see reverse engineering.
