Bart: Hello?
You: Hi! Is this Bart?
Bart: I think so. Where am I?
You: You’re in a simulation I built. You can use this terminal to communicate with us, or to go online.
Gab: Hi, I’m Gab. I helped build the simulation. Can you describe what you see?
Bart: I’m sitting at a desk on the second floor of this house
Bart: Out my window I see a garden with a little stream running through the middle
Bart: There’s a mirror mounted on the wall
Gab: Thanks for the description!
You: I hope you enjoy your space. It’s unfortunately limited to just the house and the yard, but maybe at some point we can extend it.
Bart: Well, nice to meet you! If I may, why did you decide to simulate a real human?
You: I guess I wanted to see if I could…
Gab: Perhaps we would be able to learn something from you
Bart: I think I’m gonna browse the internet for a little while. I’ll check in later.
You: Alright, see you later!
Gab: Bye, Bart
