What if someone proves that no such method exists including the prefix one, is the bounty valid for such proof ?

I doubt it, since you'd simply prove that something is, by its own definition, as true. A really hard thing to prove indeed, requiring vast amounts of funding and research, in order to get to a definitive conclusion (e.g. reaching the definitions we started with). But while we're at it, let's also prove these stringent problems which also have no definitive answer so far:

- is the sky really blue? it may look more like white; and why does it go black during the night?
- does free will actually exist, or are we living in a simulation of a type 7 civilization, living in a simulation of a type 42 civilization?
- can we live forever? seems like we die at some point, makes no sense;
- does light actually go through glass? has anyone proved it yet without a doubt?
- is there a way to prove that all of the above are unprovable?

I'm offering a 9000 trillion multiverse BTC bounty if someone proves that the last one is unprovable to be proven. Or something like that. Please no AI.

I imagine you are aware that big data already uses AI for their code, as is the case with GitHub itself. Your reasoning is ridiculous. Whether it is code that comes out of AI or human, it is still code. It is the way it is worked that matters.

Except that the code generated by AI is a total non-sense that doesn't really actually work. But script kiddies think it's enterprise-level code, when in reality its complete bullshit. This is how some people inhere think that they know how to count the number of matching bits between two hashes, and the result is a total disaster.

If you want the plane you're boarding to crash 5 minutes after departure, throw some AI-generated firmware on its control circuits.

Indeed no bounty for the reverse proof.
I think it has already been proven that sha256 distribution is uniform anyway ? So that would directly translate as a proof that no such method exist.

Well I doubt anyone will be able to solve this without breaking the cryptographic functions. This is a hard one.
