There are still limits. You can't duplicate an effect you have no understanding of, and you need an AI to program an experience no-one has ever experienced before.
Look. In a UV reality, you can be drawn and quartered, and your various bits and pieces could still move and react to your thoughts. You could feel your disparate pieces, see through your eyes, drag yourself along the ground with your tongue. That's all well and good. Magic is something beyond that. An AI could conceivably mimic your little sorcery...if it had some prep time...but it would probably just turn you into an otaku and save itself the trouble. |

hmmm...When you bring otaku up, we're opening a bigass can-o-worms. I'll have to contemplate this for a while.
