Bah. Our own brains are nothing but biological neural networks. And neural networks can be, in theory, fully simulated even with a binary computer powerful enough. In the future, who knows, it might be more plausible to get rid of such stiff digital processing and use whatever quantum computer to get much closer to the fussier algorithms that make us keep the wheels of the civilization turning.

And only the copywriters of game companies really think the algorithms even in new games are actual AIs. I very much doubt real adaptive AIs have been used in any game so far, though it's not anymore very far away, possibly.

I think the absence of the ring equals more, for example, to a jew of nazi Germany ripping away the armband.
