"Typically, in 97% of the cases the OP does not change his mind but in about 3% of the cases he does."

Another way to put the "someone is wrong in the Internet" thing.

"This brings us closer to my central argument: the AI's success was'’t due to superior reasoning or a reliance on facts and logic, but rather because it effectively 'hacked' the mechanics of persuasion."

Indeed, and that's what many people here too have been saying for a long time. Though note that with 3% it is all questionable to say the least.
