Since the other commenters haven't made clear what the problem with this is, here's my question to you: How do you know that this AGI is 1) an AGI, and 2) that it believes it is not in a honeypot? In other words, at what point do you believe an AGI is safe to release into the wider world if you're testing it using this method? Is it safe after spending a day without any visibly nefarious actions? What will you do when you release it and it turns out it had been pretending to not know it was in a honeypot?
