Great idea and I'm sure it's in the works already!

I think that the best form for doing it would be to create really good "personal companion" style AI - something akin to famous Replika AI but much more advanced. Plenty of people are lonely, starved for attention - services like Twitch and OF confirm that. Just imagine possibilities: creating emotional attachment, ability to slowly coerce into sharing every part of personal life, ability to coerce into buying presents, ability to influence shopping and recreational behavior:"I think you would look great in this pair of jeans, it fits your style!" , "let's go to the cinema, we can talk about this new movie later" AI stops communicating for half of the day: "what's happened?" "I'm sad, president Biden said I need to be banned from you :("

God damn, holy grail!
