Does the machine know that box is not an option? Thinking that A, A+B, and B are all valid options is something I could see an AI doing.

There also isn't much penalty for taking A+B? You'll always get at least $1M. And if you took only B, the max you could get is $1M.

Edit: I can't read lol. I'd still take both, the result is

Predicted A+B: $1M

Predicted B only: $1001M

If you only take box B, the result is

Predicted A+B: $0

Predicted B only: $1000M

I think the machine predicts 2 results, either

Box A is taken = True

Box A is taken = False

Something like:

If (Box A Taken = True)
{place ($0) in Box B}
else
{place ($1,000,000,000) in Box B}

Machine doesnt care if you also take Box B, it only cares if Box A is one of the boxes taken. If you take no boxes, Box B would still have a billion dollars, although thats kinda dumb choice from a gameshow host's perspective.
