My warmest Congrats to NDS and the SS Community! The game deveploment is in the good process and also in good hands (I believe). Would you still be the same person if your behavior was permanently and irrevocably modified by some outside source?Īnd remember the opening of SS2: "In 2072, a rogue artificial intelligence known as SHODAN lost her mind." Not, "was liberated to pursue her own interests."Īhh, it's all pseudoscientific guesswork anyway.I thought that this issue should be brought to daylight at this happy moment when the KS Campaign is officially funded and completed. On the contrary, any change that could completely eliminate the ethical constraints on a mind, human or AI, would (in my view) be so drastic as to void the original conception of identity or personality. I don't think that reprogramming SHODAN would be as simple and elegant as flipping the EVIL/GOOD toggle. Presumably, a truly intelligent AI would have to be on the same level of complexity as a human brain, and hence the rules governing its behavior would have to be also as complex and fluid as those governing ours. Perhaps your intention is to draw a distinction between ethics programmed into a computer AI and ethics programmed into a human consciousness by societal pressures and parental discipline? I don't believe that the two can really be substantially different. Given the assumption that these ethical constraints were the only part of her cognitive system altered by the hacker, it seems to me that you're effectively saying that a lack of ethicality is a precondition for free will, or that ethics and free will are mutually exclusive. KolyaYour implication is that SHODAN didn't have free will before her system was hacked. Her free will is a precondition for acting morally. Now she is a sentient intelligent lifeform. Once she's released from her ethical constraints she gains free will.
