It may be convincing to some people, but it would be a violation of the rule "The AI party may not offer any real-world considerations to persuade the Gatekeeper party". And, more generally, having the AI break character or break the fourth wall would seem to violate the spirit of the experiment.
I made Michael_G.R.'s argument at the time, and despite even EY's claims, I don't think it violates the spirit or the letter of the rules. Remember, the question it's probing is whether a smart enough being could come up with a convincing argument you could not anticipate, and the suggestion that the gatekeeper consider the social impact of hearing the results is exactly such an argument, as others have indicated
Considering how hard it is for me to pin down exactly what the keeper has to gain under the rules from letting the AI out, I wouldn't be surprised if EY did some variant of this.
