On the other hand, if an introvert person had 1 full day to contemplate about every sentence, and could somehow compress that day into 1 second, they could, after some trial and error, become the ultimate social engineer.

Not so sure about that. You also have to "have it" in you in some deeper subconscious way, not just rationalize what you should say.

The same way a shy person can read about the actual best ways to approach a romantic interest, but not be able to convey it realistically enough.

Why would this be a problem for an AI? Well, if we imagine a powerful thinking AI, I'd also attribute it with having emotions, subconscious (e.g. hidden weights in its neural network brain, etc), so this would also apply to it -- can't see why it would have to be a total "sociopath" (which for humans comes from some kind of genetic or environmental accident).

Besides, while you can "contemplate about every sentence and somehow compress that into 1 second", actual "trial and error" with humans cannot be compressed.
