What I mean is that the probability that each individual action was done by a human is not too low, but the joint probability for all the actions is very low.
For concreteness: say that every minute, the AI or human either decides to make a stock trade or not. There’s another computer somewhere that detects whether the AI/human made a trade and appends a bit (0 or 1) to a file accordingly, and runs it (say, as a Python program) after collecting a million bits.
Now suppose the AI made a stock trade only on minutes corresponding to 1 bits in a UFAI source code. Of course, the probability that a human would make all of these decisions is very small. However, the probability that a human would make one of these decisions (to trade a stock or not in particular minute) is probably close to 50%. So if we’re extremely paranoid, we might only be able to use this scheme to get rich once (instead of getting rich multiple times).

I see. There are many ways to solve this issue, but they’re kludges; I’ll try and think if there’s a principled way of doing it.
