And it wasn ' t even a softcap . Rather , the bad luck protection stopped working for you , giving the impression there was a softcap . <| sep |> Tell us how you really feel . <| sep |> Are you saying Arnold is not alive anymore or never existed in the first place ? Other than that , it really depends on how realistic the writers are about the bicameral mind thing . Because in a fictional reality that sure can turn out to be a solid theory . But in our reality , it is not . So if the writers decided that the bicameral mind concept is actually just that an interesting concept then you are wrong . But if they decided that in Westworld ' s universe it is more than just a concept but an actual theory then you might be right . The problem here is , that we only can speculate about how A . I . internally processes information . We don ' t know if there are two chambers that have been designed like that in order to test the bicameral mind concept in the first place or if there is actually code that either injects voices in certain situations to induce certain conflicts that then result in certain unpredictable behaviour patterns or if there actually is someone more or less remote controlling or rather remote suggesting by inserting certain commands that then can be interpreted by the A . I . processing unit as voices inside their heads . To be honest , this is something far more complex then just looking at the bicameral mind concept . If you close your eyes and just think inside your head , your inner voice , what is that actually ? And is this something every creature with a brain has ? And can A . I . have something like that as well , respectively develop it automatically if certain requirements are met ? Or can A . I . have something like that only because it is coded into them ? I think , these are the essential questions here and this is what the show is actually about questioning all these things , questioning our own reality , our own existence , our own counsciousness and selfawareness . Does Arnold exist ? It doesn ' t matter . That is just padding for the story being told . The deeper meaning is far more relevant , especially considering the current attempts in A . I . sciences .
