>>6678362well an npc could be programmed by whoever gets to them first, if they are surrounded by left leaning voices they will be left wing, if the same npc however were to be surrounded by right leaning people they would be right wing, the media is a loud voice sure id agree, but you're underestimating the large ammount of people who dont even watch or read news at all.
one could also say everyone is an npc because you are programmed by your parents via positive and negative reinforcement techniques, sure theres a bias on how that programming will go based on genes, but the same could be said of machine learning, it could have its results influenced via its base code, an alien AI would most likely be coded in a completely different way to a human one and would have its behaviour effected by this in a different way than a human AI, in this way you could say all humans are just biological AI's thus everyone is an npc
