Confident human bullshitters seem to thrive in business environments, in media and entertainment, in politics ... in fact in any profession where the production is just language instead of doing things. They might be more on the dark triangle spectrum, but I would not call them all "schizophrenic".

The problem is we are so used to yielding to confidence we don't apply the necessary checks even when we know it is projected by machine.
