Yeah. I don’t actually think that a persuasive argument targeted to every single human is an efficient way for a superintelligent AI to accomplish its goals in the world. Someone else mentioned convincing the most gullible humans to hurt the wary humans. If the AI’s goal was to inhibit human reproduction, it would be simple to create a bioweapon to cause sterility without killing the victims. Doesn’t take very many loyally persuaded humans to be the hands for a mission like that.
