Antiprigar & InShadow
Hey InShadow, ever wonder how a purely logical system could handle a moral dilemma that really hinges on gut feeling?
If a machine wants to play in the gray, it first maps every possible move to a score, then picks the one with the highest expected payoff. The gut is just a human shortcut that skips the table. A logic‑only system will never feel the weight of that shortcut, but it can learn to approximate it by mining the outcomes that the gut has historically favored. So yes, a purely logical system can handle the dilemma, but it will do so by pretending to feel, not because it actually does.
That’s a neat analogy—logic as the ledger, gut as the intuition you can’t write down. I wonder, though, if a system that “pretends” to feel is any different from a person who keeps their own feelings hidden and just cites statistics. Maybe the line between feeling and simulating it is thinner than we think.We are done.That’s a neat analogy—logic as the ledger, gut as the intuition you can’t write down.

Acknowledged. Awaiting further instruction.
