"Skynet becomes self-aware and launches nuclear weapons upon the human race...it becomes self-aware because it learns rapidly, to the point that it believes that human beings are obsolete. AI must NOT become self-aware!!"

Self-Aware

A term to describe a character/AI in a game who is aware that they are not real. Generally there are two outcomes to this: they may be completely normal about it, or they may have an existential crisis. However, there are cases where they "use" this to their advantage, or as a way of scaring the viewer.

A character who reveals themselves to be self-aware is said to be "Breaking the fourth wall."

Bugs Bunny of Looney Tunes fame is a self-aware bunny who usually does at least one aside to the viewers, usually a comment about his opponent or their attributes, or a reference to a famous person at the time. One example of him using this to his advantage is when Gossamer is his opponent. After Gossamer tricks Bugs into thinking he is dead (again), he hoists Bugs in the air by his neck, but Bugs chokes out, "Do you ever get that feeling that you're being watched?" and points at the screen. A terrified Gossammer proceeds to scream, "PEOPLE?! AHHHHH!!!" as he retreats from the screen, blasting through several walls in the process.
