AI and Magic

--- Quote from: groinkick on May 16, 2018, 07:20:41 PM ---When something is created by Belief, the thing created is limited by what the exact Belief was. The topic is about could AI use magic. So if AI was created via Belief, the Belief would have to include that the AI could utilize magic. If it's just a Robot entity created via Belief then it would be a robot that acted like a robot, and nothing more.
If a deity gains the power of lightning because the Belief was he could use lightning, he cannot start throwing around fire because that wasn't part of the Belief.

Ah, ok well I really just disagree with everything you just asserted. It could be, but I cant think of anything to support the limitations you are placing on it. All the similar instances we have are nowhere near as Absolutely Literal as you describe, from the sword-wielding Santa Claus on down to the toy-monster in Day-One. Im confident the children did not know anythign about the NeverNever, for example. And Disney does not in any way accurately reflect the Fae but it still gives them a foothold in the Mortal World.
