Can you imagine some fucked up government or wealthy billionaire using this to persuade the natives to flee their homeland and join urban civilization so that they could turn their jungle into precious real estate?
I've got the protagonist lined up for you. So, obviously you have the face up there and it's fantastic, but you need a voice of god as well. It's not going to be coming from the wee drones. You'll have a separate setup on the ground to blast the sound at them.
One kid notices the voice isn't coming from the face, and how super sketch that is.
Cargo cults in WW2 were wild. Us soldiers island hopping in the pacific set up military bases, traded and interacted with the natives, then bailed leaving some of their equipment behind. That one is the most famous, where a soldier named "John Frum" (as in "John from America") became a prophet to them that would return with riches. [This is a great video on it.](https://youtu.be/xVD8eLvig_I\)
They viewed the soldiers almost as a race of demigods with infinite resources that would come back to save them one day. They even built landing strips to encourage aircraft to land in hopes they would bring riches. It's crazy.
No need to imagine, just look at Bolsonaro. This would actually be much more humane than what's happening there now but at this point native tribes have had enough interaction with the rest of the world to more or less know what drones are.
You're late to the party. This kind of thing is already going on with modern people here, and instead of god-face-in-sky, it's flat-earth-on-internet. People will believe anything, you don't need to go to the jungle to do your con.
Are we trying to trick the flat earthers into walking off the planet to solve global warming or something? I feel like that plan might be somewhat flawed.
It would be doing good. Ridding them of their female circumcision, fire ant self-mutilation, addiction to hallucinate drugs, tribal war violence, starvation, death from Australian-like critters, dangerous body modifications, pedophilia, infanticide, death from child birth, shamen authoritarians, etc.
