Car racing on your own is one thing but every driver has a team behind them, pushing them to outdo themselves. It's that little voice in their ear that updates them on their pace, their performance, that whispers crucial strategy angles and masterminds their race outcome. No pilot truly drives alone.
So what happens when that voice is an AI?
I wanted to explore what it would be like to rely on something intangible and to develop trust for that entity, for that voice that steered you through a race.
This is the emergence of sentience for this AI, a central topic of the Malakai World. It's also about the relationship between people and machines, how emotions colour this relationship, and how very real feelings can grow from this.
Do you think an AI can develop feelings? Emotions? What are you curious about in such a dynamic? What scares you about it? What would you do with it?
Let's explore this together, it's too much of a fascinating subject to keep to myself, I want to hear from you!
