Funny. I'd tend to like to see them run into the wall and get hurt if
need be. Points where I would like this sort of autonomous reaction
are at the physical instinctual level:
> l
There is a fire here.
> put hand in fire
Your hand approaches the fire. Ouch! You whip your hand back
into safety.
With of course the ability to overide:
> l
There is a fire here.
> put hand in fire!
Your hand approaches the fire. Ouch! You grit your teech
and keep your hand in the flames.
No actual intelligence involved, just automatic nervous/muscular
action ala jumping up after sitting on a thumb tack or closing one's
eyes when something goes near them which can be selectively and (most
important) knowingly overriden in advance by the player.
