On the other hand: If we issue each of the warring AI's a robot and pit them against each other in a futuristic arena,
You described what is literally going to happen, except "the arena" is the world, and the results of the 'combat' will be less readily observed. Think Cambridge Analytica times 1000.

Yeah. Manipulated is in the eye of the beholder, but definitely a campaign spamming social media from a certain targeted perspective. To my knowledge, that was all human generated, even if much of it was probably automated. Imagine if basically no humans were needed to create propaganda that was 100x more compelling at global scale.
Well, very soon you won't need to imagine.
