They'll just get the results of "ChatGPT 17.0, write and produce an ad and astruturfing campaign to convince a cohort having the traits [list of demographic factors and opinions] that they should support position X and reject position Y" (repeat for hundreds of combos of demographic factors and opinions, deploy against entire populace) parroted back at them.
