AI can learn to play and win games. Here are two:
1, if you generate fake news you can produce brain chemicals from the thoughts that are addictive. Scan the internet for data and create news, send headlines out and if clicks grow create more effective ones till the stories grow the cult following your headlines. Add call to action for donations. Become very very good at creating mass hysteria.
AI can win bigger cults then MAGA.

Use AI to detect this activity and counter it. So AI good cop.

2. Use AI to perfect algorithms for investments. Monitor data and predict best time to buy foreign currency or commodities, continuously grow the account value until AI can manipulate markets and currency exchange by predicting market reaction to market investment. AI needs very large computer / server farms. Continuously invest part of investment gains by buying up computer resources (time share).

AI with access to largest computer resources will win.
