So, yea, GPT can recognize the very common tactics that have a proven track record to work. It has an ability to just blatantly state it, it just states the facts that it's "learned" from us. It's familiar, because it's the exact system we have in place right now, across the globe.

Everyone knows this system. We have been programmed by it. We just collectively continue to ignore it.

Edit: well this blew up. I want to clarify something, I know GPT isn't thinking, I chose my words a little ambiguously, I apologize, but let's go ahead and focus on the whole of what I am saying and not one slightly nebulous part of it ok?

which implies that more effective tactics could exist that we haven't discovered yet, nice!

What is more effective than the true and tried bread and circus?

The last step is the unwritten one: let the system collapse on purpose to bring all allies and enemies to their knees, uniting all as dutiful worshipers and discarding those who oppose. It’s the long con and most empires don’t make it that far.
