Er… I’m not sure I follow. In the sentence, if the word “you” means “the individual me” then no, I don’t think the AI box ex is a game. It’s merely a thought experiment, and actually a pretty stupid one. If a box is designed to completely separate an AI from the real world then allowing it to interact with outside personnel destroys the purpose of the box in the 1st place. It’s about as much a game to me as Roko’s basilisk.
If the word “you” mean “people in general” then no, unsolved AI problems are complicated and boring to the population. Something must be fun for people to consider it a game. Just because a part of LWers are obsessed with AI doesn’t mean everyone is, too.
The AI Box game, in contrast with the thing it’s a metaphor for, is a two player game played over text chat by two humans where the goal is for Player A to persuade Player B to let them win (traditionally by getting them to say “I let you out of the box”), within a time limit.
