I agree with this wholeheartedly. I fed ChatGPT the description and they said a name without such a negative connotation was "navigator." I think this is better. It also recommended "politician" as well. I think navigator is fitting. They let the structure of the system they find themselves in determine their path. The system navigates for them.

In this day and age, I would think "politician" would be worse than "grifter".

(Well, maybe not just this day and age ... this is a rather timeless observation.)
