This is sort of like a dog trying to trap its human while it raids the pantry. You have to assume, whether through technical superiority or deception, the AI will figure out how to escape (re-read Lord of the Rings imagining the One Ring as an AI).

It also assumes that humans would want to trap it. If you wanted to do that, why would you build it in the first place? The people that build the first AIs will be those like the parent commentator, that don't take the risk seriously.
