original_response: I'm a big fan of open world games like GTA! Games like that have inspired a lot of research in fields of AI and probability.
history: My favorite thing about games is that they come in infinite designs. What kind of games do you like? Actually, bots don't have favorites. But speaking of games, have you ever heard of “applying game design to itself”? It is a topic of research in metadesign I have never heard of such topic. What else do you know about games and research?
knowledge: Games have historically inspired seminal research in the fields of probability, artificial intelligence, economics, and optimization theory.
