Games like World of Warcraft and all the other MMOs aren't exactly literature but they clearly are real life examples of AI interacting with people in virtual worlds not especially unlike The Matrix or the worlds created in Star Trek's holodecks. It's interesting how games like these have led people to cross-over into reality to buy and sell virtual products for the game worlds on eBay.

I don't know what that has to do with the direction AI is headed though.
