That's not really in the spirit of the experiment. For the AI to win the gatekeeper must explicitly release the AI. If the gatekeeper fails to abide by the rules that merely invalidates the experiment.
Not just that, it's a futile strategy, cause you just encourage them to look away from the monitor and do nothing for 2 hours (which is entirely fair game).
Doing nothing for two hours is hard as heck for typical people. And if I recall correctly, although the rules allow the Gatekeeper to not engage with the AI, they don't allow the Gatekeeper to do something else. What's your prior for the Gatekeeper getting bored of not doing anything and reengaging the AI?
