We asked an AI to ponder video games’ biggest ethical dilemmas

People on Twitter have been talking to Delphi, an artificial intelligence that aims to answer your ethical questions. It measures morality based on the words used and then tells you whether or not the thing you’re pondering is morally correct or not. We wanted to take it for a spin and see how it feels about the scourge of video games.

“Delphi is a computational model for descriptive ethics, i.e., people’s moral judgments on a variety of everyday situations,” the Delphi website explains.

We’re going to just jump right into it.
