All their responses are generated, no conscience there, just AI. “Another brick in the wall” hits stronger than ever now.

    Calling people NPCs because they delegate their thinking to a machine.

    Unused, the brain atrophies. The human dies.

    There’s still a living body, most of the time, but it’s merely the slop machine’s peripheral.

    A husk, a mockery of humanity, a corporation’s wet dream, still given the same rights and respect as a real living human being, despite being merely a tool to carry on the corporation’s whims.

    NPCs is appropriate. Clearer than reverse centaurs.
