I suppose there are a number of examples that work, but I think the robber and vault give the scenario useful breadth.
The following is just my interpretation of it, so take it with a grain of salt. To me the robber and vault enable a few options. The AI can be passively lying or actively concealing. If the robber comes in, gets past the AIs defenses, and takes the diamond in a way the human observer can’t notice, then the AI has the option of passively lying. The AI tried its best to stop the robber and failed, but then chose to lie about it so it still got the reward of having protected the diamond as far as the humans know.
Alternatively the AI could actively conceal the outcome. The AI could try its best and fail to stop the robber, and then do some trickier to make it look like it did actually stop the robber. Or the AI could not bother stopping the robber and just focus on making it look like the diamond is still there. Here the AI is playing a more active role in concealing the outcome.
None of these scenarios require coordination from the robber. To me, the robber is just there to rob a sophisticated vault and make it look like they were never there. So the robber might cover up cameras or do other tampering so it looks like they were never there.
I think this is more flexible than your fabricator example. There the AI can’t really play a passive role, it’s either concealing or not. But you could probably demonstrate the things ARC is looking at here with the fabricator example too I would think.
Like I said, just my interpretation, so I may be misunderstanding the intent or other nuances.
