frame the current AI paradigm as a low-status sucker’s game, and suggest alternative avenues for grabbing power
You say you want to target normal people, but even in the 2020s, normal people are not transhumanists. The most politically effective message would be anti-AI in general, anti-transhumanism in general, and would portray the desire to play God as the core problem.
You might be[1] overestimating the popularity of “they are playing god” in the same way you might overestimate the popularity of woke messaging. Loud moralizers aren’t normal people either. Messages that appeal to them won’t have the support you’d expect given their volume.
Compare, “It’s going to take your job, personally”. Could happen, maybe soon, for technophile programmers! Don’t count them out yet.
The section under “framing” isn’t for targeting normal people, it’s an alternate approach for targeting the academics/researchers/politicians/tech-enthusiasts.

Not rhetorical—I really don’t know
