The Machine Attack Surface: Marketing Becomes Adversarial-Computational

An AI agent can’t be seduced by celebrity, status, or story — but it can still be persuaded. Documented ordering effects, model priors, sycophancy, retrieval bias, and adversarial wording form the machine’s cognitive attack surface, and marketing is becoming less anthropological and more adversarial-computational. … readThe Machine Attack Surface: Marketing Becomes Adversarial-Computational
