that's also how really successful human beings work. they bullshit and lie and appear confident, and people believe them and ignore the people who don't do that, because they don't appear as confident.
also why people basically fall in love with AI, because it spouts nothing but bullshit at them and they eat it up like candy because being fed back bullshit is a dopamine hit.
interacting with real people doesn't supply endless dopamine and they might not tell you what you want to hear.
