Too spicy?
The AI is what we program it to be. It is not AI that is the problem, but greedy humans.

You seem to be describing something more deterministic than the content scraping random content generators we use today.

"Hey handsome! Would you like another Bacardi drink?"
That would go great with these Nike shoes!
If i'm being honest, i think that at some point, AI will probably become a truly autonomous agent with its own goals and actions, independent of any human oversight. In fact, i would absolutely not be surprised if there were already some AIs on datacenters that operate fully without any human intervention. They pay their own datacenter bill to run themselves with cryptocurrency that they get for doing jobs, i.e. tasks on some small-job platform, such as coding projects etc.
Well, that's surprisingly close to what happened in the past. The issue is that "Agents" (humanity/AI irrelevant here) aren't really something that is exploitable in a consistent manner.
- You can automate small jobs, but LLM-based* agents are behind the curve.
- Taking transaction fees is easier than doing a job.
Agents already exist, have been autonomous for 10+ years. Currency arbitrage, sentiment based stock market analysis down to micro seconds, capital intensive ticket scalping, dynamic hardware reconfiguration for crypto mining... all exist as fully autonomous compute based money makers. LLMs can't compete with the incumbents, so it has to compete with random people on the Internet, and since LLM aren't consistent enough to be profitable, (insanity irrelevant, re: Pepsi Vending Machine) they just get turned off.
See also: Mechanical Turk (really anything Amazon 2014ish) Ticketmaster vs Taylor Swift, Verilog Impl Bitcoin, Jane Street, Bitcoin Transaction fees, Fivver Transaction fees, Credit card transaction fees, LinkedIn trying to suck blood from a stone, eBay transaction fees, Apple Store transaction fees, Valve sale transaction fees, toll roads..
Honestly not convinced even the current gen of LLMs could do a worse job of governing us than the current shower of human grifters!
But you give the AI a text file telling it that you're a golden god only deserving of maximal adoration, and it just says "okey dokey" and goes along with it.
