There is probably no single 45 second oration that will persuade everyone.
It will be based on your personality, beliefs, prejudices etc,  and 
individually tailored to persuade whoever it is talking to.
The AI will be able to deduce whatever  will convince you.  It is 
smarter than you, and thinks much faster.
I think it  may take longer than 45 seconds, (I know some people who 
take longer than that to parse things they agree with :)  but it WILL 
persuade you.
