So you are basically saying that you didn’t take the game seriously.
Even if your actual stakes were low, you should have played the role of a gatekeeper assigned to the task of guarding a potentially dangerous AI. Therefore, you player character should have had very high stakes.
No, high in-game stakes does not mean high out of game stakes.
In game, the gatekeeper could be convinced that it would be worth it to let the AI out of the box. If this happens, the gatekeeper has no motivation not to. However, if there is an external bet, then the gatekeeper always has motivation to not let the AI out, even if they think it would be best for the hypothetical world.
So, a game without stakes is actually most realistic, provided the gatekeeper is able to pretend they are actually in the scenario.
