    Oh, may be I was unclear af. What I meant is if it acts like an actor, talks like an actor and looks like an actor, it’s an actor. And as such, needs to be treated like an actor - have an ID etc.

        What differientiates a good actor from a bad one? Bad one is a puppet, good one can save a bad character by improv.

        And I never said that AI is a good actor - just that it is an actor xD
