Superficially, human minds look like they are way too diverse for that to cause human extinction by accident. If new ideas toast some specific human subgroup, other subgroups will not be equally affected.
It would be a message customized deliberately for each human, and worked on gradually over years of subtle convincing arguments. That’s how I understand the hypothetical.
I think that an AI competent enough to manage this would have faster easier ways to accomplish the same effect, but I do agree that this would quite likely work.

That is indeed a bit of a defense. Though I suspect human minds have enough similarities that there are at least a few universal hacks.
