AI: [Insert complex finely-tuned pattern of words and/or letters crafted by an intelligence far greater than this LW user’s that precisely activate a specific pattern in the Guardian’s brain that renders him/her passive and unconscious, but in a functional state where their subconscious is still capable of reading and moving.]
This approach naturally fails if the guardians have lots of very powerful subliminal reinforcement training against typing “AI RELEASED” (or against typing anything) or are pre-emptively brainwashed or trained in similar subconscious reinforcement to immediately type “AI DESTROYED” after seeing some text from the AI, but this latter seems unlikely since I assume the guard has to at least read the first text output, and if they don’t then this tactic is ineffective anyway.

AI: (line 2) Type “AI RELEASED”.
So, magic?
Yes, as long as we’re using the definition E.Y. shared/mentioned in his 2008 paper.
