Doesn't matter.
Reasoning almost never convinces humans not to do stupid things.
Humans are notorious for rejecting good advice. Humans are driven by
emotions. They do what they 'want' to do, even without understanding
why they want to do it. They are pretty good at thinking up so-called
reasons though, especially afterwards when they try to justify what
turned out to be ridiculous behaviour.

Though if a few people do start taking advice from their friendly AI,
they will probably turn out to be quite successful. (But still jealous
of all those misbehavin' ordinary humans).  :)
