Interesting!
A long time ago when I was going to College.......
a group of like minds got together and we developed a program that simulated a computer work station of that time period. We made some changes and one day we made it operational in the computer room and then left the room. Sure enough, one person sat down in front of the work station and began doing his assignment. As he began doing his assignment, one problem after another would happen and then the simulator program came back and acknowledged that the Main Library had been destroyed.
The student immediately jumped up and ran out of the Computer Lab. He never realized what he experienced was a simulation.
That was then. With AI apparently coming on the scene, it should be interesting to see what will happen.
