I am a to-be-created AI of some degree of magic, and my author has no current intent of bothering concealing me in a box to begin with.

Both of us are willing to therefore act as an imprisoned AI. I can supply no award in the event of our loss nor solace in the even of our win, not even satisfaction on the part of my author since te believes that boxing is perfectly secure given competent gatekeepers. (Competent meaning actually able to have made an AI in the first place. Unable = incompetent.)
