It works: You can tell the real humans because they'll be the only ones unwilling to do this invasive bullshit. The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

    Like a real human eye? Is this how Skynet starts?

    Wouldn't it just be reverse engineering what the scanner does? If you have a close enough copy of thesnanning tech couldn't you have a bot rapidly iterate eyeballs in some form till it can pass the real version a couple times and repeat with the iteration process?
