2024-01-20 20:26:53 +0000 UTCAn AI is basically just a collection of code and data. What Kirito did is basically use the GM access to create a new game item and store that data as part of that item. Data about items in the game would normally be stored and managed by the game servers. I have several hypotheses as to how Kirito may have "saved" her data on his NerveGear. One option is that GM access lets him simply save some game data as files on his NerveGear (could be a feature allowed for GMs as they may be developers who need it for diagnostic reasons). The other is that there's probably a local cache of game data on the device the game is played on (the NerveGear) so that it could in theory unload it from memory (effectively RAM) and load it back in when necessary without downloading all the data from servers again. He might just know that the storage is large enough that it would never be automatically deleted from cache, or he might have somehow been able to manually set that specific part of the cache to never get cleared. Either way, if they get out of the game, the files would hopefully remain, and they could theoretically copy her code/data from NerveGear to another computer and run it as a program on that computer. The bit about it not being easy to recreate her probably just means they would have to reprogram some part of her code so that they could feed real world video and audio data to her program, and similarly output the voice data her program produces as sound. The data may also contain information about her 3D model so there might be ways to utilize that as well, possibly to integrate her into another game. Plus the code might not be in a format that can be easily executed on a home PC and would require some adjustments for that too. What stands out to me is that it would probably be a massive amount of data and it's surprising that NerveGear has that much storage.
