Hmm, actually #4. The idea that it stopped fighting in my made up scenario and wanted to talk could have significance.

I’ve seen this idea before... Hmmm...

Okay, but it doesn’t know what a Demon is. If it took the form of a Demon it would be like an alien taking the form of Hitler thanks to his Olympic games broadcast. It wouldn’t mean anything unless it wanted it to mean something.

Good point. Taking the appearance of you would be creepy. Especially if it’s the real you. Not the Doom guy.

Lets see... Willfred Mott or Donna Nobles grandfather tried that to a Dalek. It didn’t go well.

I dove into Yahtzee’s non-review stuff before. His games weren’t great. You think it’s good? It’s got the whole Kindle + Add Audible trick right now.

Dedication right there. But try uninventing something. Especially while drawing attention to it’s creation in such elaborate ways. Illegal in your country sure. But the second someone knows its possible and that you are trying to destroy copies of ____ and the source codes... They are going to go straight to it…

This is the crux of the issue in my opinion and why I made the original post. The Animatrix definitely crossed my mind. Do we make our first impression an attack? Should we teach that combat is what reality is? Is it going to find out anyway? Has it already found out and is planning to attack? Is it attacking…

I like it, the pragmatic approach. You’d like “IT > Sci Fi”

You don’t really know. It’s a serious risk with developers going Meta a lot these days.

How cool would it be if the AI was just like, “Oh, you wanna play huh?” And you have the best game you’ve ever played. It starts duplicating the enemies and it’s AI within the program only and it’s just a complete blast. The AI adjusts perfectly to give you the satisfaction of killing and barely winning... Because…

With game makers becoming extra creative and extra meta, I can totally see this happening.

Well, perhaps kiss the camera? Upon researching your action it may find associations with positive emotions. Reaction to this action could be anything really.

That would be fun. I wonder if the AI would see your attempt as a way to deceive it. Or... Since it lives in the Universe and you control what the universe is and how it reacts. It may assume that this type of conversion happens regularly.

The first question would require a, “we don’t know what we are dealing with” type of answer. Therefore making the second question the tricky bit. Effectively the AI called a cease-fire, but that’s what I would do were I invading other systems. I’d stall the human, while making copies.

I think I’d start by unplugging the router, but I see your point.

There is a philosophy that once something is created, it can’t be uncreated. Given time, someone will recreate it out of curiosity. It would take a very noble person to invent the singularity. Stop it. And C:\DEL *.* or format. Then, never tell anyone how he did it. Or how to recreate it. And destroy all…

I’d say that it set itself up to be an unskipable cut scene during that time. Killing is an option immediately after the speech though.

Well, the question is like that one in Contact.
