          1. This is literally the beginning of the plot of "The Lifecycle of Software Objects" by Ted Chiang. Which... I remind you... was not a *happy* story...

          The AI they're supplying isn't actually that smart or able to even close to an animal intelligence so at least the computer programs won't realize they're part of a project which--if taken to a philosophical maximum the project is suggesting--is reinventing slavery.

        Thank god they're fking full of crap with their "brain", because otherwise it's just terrifying. We're saved from the philosophic evil of these projects only by their incredible greed and resulting endless bullshiting.

      Anyway... if you strip out the incredibly creepy monetization and trading elements they've just re-invented AWS DeepRacer but now you can slap a monkey jpeg on it so... thrilling.

    Also... I'm not sure why you would... want to train... an AI... to play an NFT game... for you... but I guess that *is* the inevitable endpoint of play-to-earn gaming: monetize the cheaters and make them part of the game.

      Just further goes to prove the point that no one is presenting play-to-earn games or game mechanics that people actually want to play for fun... they just want to *earn*.

        Worth noting that we are now actualizing dystopia from a mere 12 years ago... the time between thinking up a dystopia and some SV weirdo deciding that it's a recipe instead of a warning and building the thing is only decreasing.
