Which it probably should at a certain level of realism.
It doesn’t seem obvious to me why we can’t/won’t eventually make 100% completely convincing video games and then how our brain will handle that differently than experiences that really do distort people’s psychology like war, domestic violence, etc.

- llamaimperative 2y agoprobably, but for example a horror movie is successful to the extent that it induces actual fear in people. I don’t see why we can’t or won’t produce thoroughly convincing games that can actually produce those feelings. As another data point, it is absolutely possible to actually traumatize yourself with a hallucinogenic drug despite the complete absence of “actual danger”.
