> superhuman persuasion is likely to be next

Some people already seem to have superhuman persuasion. AI can level the playing field for those that lack it and give all the ability to see through such persuasion.

I am cautiously optimistic that this is indeed possible.

But the kind of AI that can achieve it has to itself be capable of what it is helping defend us from. Which suggests that limiting the capabilities of AI in the name of AI safety is not a good idea.
