Can AI agents manipulate you into taking real-world actions?

Hitler wasn’t a violent man. Not in the personal, physical sense. His millions of atrocities were carried out by other people, because he asked them to.

This may seem an odd way to phrase things, but I do so because the idea is important: by stringing together the correct sequence of words, over a long enough period of time, one person can arrange the world into a state where they can say “you there, go forth and murder for me” and their deeds will be done.
