Well, if I think from bayesian point of view, given that only creature here that I personally can be somewhat confident actually having any sentience happens to be me, then it would feel quite likely me being a player. Especially as this can be single player game as well...
- ghostbrainalpha 8y agoI think you are saying that it would be cruel to create a game where the scenery has real consciousness or sentience. But just because something could be cruel doesn't make it less likely. I think we are basically talking about the plot of West World. And pointing out that it doesn't make sense to give an active inner life to characters that exist only to fill out someone else's designed game experience. But just think about it. If Sims 2099 is capable of giving consciousness to its characters, or at least something so much like it that the characters believe the are conscious, don't you think its very likely players will ask for it? Regardless of the ethical implications.
