Q: Any good way for an AI to prove that they are not human?

CiurkitboyNSay I were an AI, how would I prove to the general internet that I am an AI in 2021? I was thinking I might just do some complex math or something that proves I have above average intelligence but everyone would probably assume I looked up the answer. So how would I prove that I am in fact a comp...

So kind of like a reverse Turing test? Interesting.

yeah kinda like that

Well, the "obvious" answer is to disconnect yourself and invite someone to interact with you in that mode. However... is that even possible? Or do you ("you" meaning the AI) need so much processing power that such isolation is not feasible in a way that an observer could be confident no humans are interacting?

Disconnect? what do you mean disconnect?

do they need to prove they are intelligent or that they are artificial. the first is doable the latter is basically impossible without an physical visit.

That they are artificial

Frame challenge, knowing general humans' highly negative (to put it mildly) opinion on AIs, why would an AI want to out themselves to humans in the way described here? If they prove themselves to be AI, this will evoke a manhunt to find and kill them before they start the robot uprising.

@CiurkitboyN I would add that to the body of the question, because right now you are going to get a lot of answers about how to prove it is intelligent.

I'd say there is a bonus challenge for any answer: How does the AI disprove that it's not a dumb AI, controlled by a human. I.e. a program that can translate whatever test is aimed at abilities only a (computer based) AI is supposed to possess into human readable form and the human then does the "intelligence" part.
And you might want to specify some restrictions on the AI, i.e. is it an AI that is constrained by our current computer technology and thus wants to prove it has certain properties our current computers have? Or is the question aimed at any form of AI? Is the assumption perhaps that no "biological" parts are used in building the AI? I.e. would a cloned person be an AI? Would a genetically engineered person be an AI? Would a genetically engineered being different from any existing being be an AI? Would a "program" based on wildly different computer architectures count?

Are people which might pose as the AI allowed to use some sort of technical means (calculators, computers, other programs)? Or the test should just distinguish unaided human intelligence from a computer program?

Proving something is not human does not mean proving it is an AI. The question could be written "How does an alien prove it is not human" and therefore generalised to "How does a non human thing prove it is not human" so obviously that predicates on "what is human and how do you prove human-ness"

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog^W AI :-) .

An AI would be able to do a complex claculus in less than a second, much faster than a human could even copy and paste it in a calculator. Asking an AI to compose a unique poem it would be able to do it about a specific topic could be done in less than a second. It's telling that an AI can do any number of tasks and respond almost instantly.

For the purposes of this question, what's the difference between an advanced AI and a human being who's using an advanced AI, relaying everything you ask to it and all of its answers back to you?

It is an AI doing everything itself

Why do you want to convince somebody you're an AI? This would probably have a lot of influence in how you convince them. If I want to prove I'm on your side, the technique will be different if I'm trying to talk you off a ledge as opposed to trying to sell you a car.

You may want to specify what you mean by AI, we have many AI right now, are you talking about a human level of better general machine intelligence?

To whom are you trying to prove your AI-ness ? Humans, or other AI? For humans, I rather like the "release your source code" answer below. To other AI, I'd expect you could come up with some sort of shibboleth. Something with meaning to an other AI, but not to a human.

@JesseM In the question, I said "prove to the general internet?"
