If androids exist...
...or, well, if they become far more advanced/self aware...
Do you think that they will yknow, consider us barbaric animals? I mean think about it...since the 60's, we've (in gaming) been creating one "life" after another, one form of AI or another, simply to die at our hands...for "fun" for "sport"? I know I wouldn't be happy upon the realisation that something like my "ancestors" had been subject to this treatment... I think they'll be mad. Just a ponderance - thoughts?

The "life's" in the games arent actual life, or even sentient, though. A smart android would understand.
I have wondered if the laws would change when we eventually develope AI in gamesthat could possibly be self aware, like the "programs" in the matrix (and as cool as they are, the wachowski's dont know shit about computers or programs....), would "killing" them or deleting them be murder? I imagine killing them in the game would be like killing someone in a movie, a "special effect" they would really be "dead", per se. But deleting or corrupting their files on purpose would be on par with murder 1

i cant imagine AI becoming completely self aware ... i think there are/will be limitations - either imposed or natural.
i cant see the intelligence - no matter how great - being based on anything other than pure logic - no matter how advanced. no emotions. (thus - no possibility of being mad, happy,,,,, anything at all)

They will at least try to make self aware AI with emotions. You have to understand with scientists and programmers: if it can be though of, someone is going to try to, even if for no other reason to have egg-head proof that it can happen.
That being said, sci-fi wirters are typically not, on any level, students of the science they write about. The matrix, terminator, and even I Robot were all written by people with no workign knowledge of programming and what goes into programming. Constraints are a very basic part of any program, and are not only easy to implement, they are one o fthe fundamental building blocks of any programming language. Although it is possible to write programs that replicate and mutate (a LOT of viruses do this), the "Self aware, reprogramming istelf" program that seems to be the staple in these stories just isnt possible, unless someone designed it to do so. Basically for any of those scenarios to work, you would need someone who was a brillaint, completely immoral, psychotic, or clueless programmer.
