What's going to be their next trick? Launching a service that'll watch the latest Netflix series for me and give me a summary when it's done?

Ah, the world we all hoped for with AI:

AI doing all the fun stuff like art and games and humans get to do the hard work like fixing AI mistakes, fighting wars, and working until we die

I was starting to write a sarcastic comment about the future of Xbox being just the customer paying for a game and then watching the computer play it for them, but yeah that could totally happen.

That's the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

Of course. Why would I want to play games?

I can’t wait until AI can pet my dog and fuck my wife for me.

You spelled Microslop wrong.

What's even the point of this.....

Used to be that patents were bad for innovation, like loading screen mini games or the nemesis system from the Mordor games. These days patents tend to be crap where I'm happy it's patented so others (hopefully) won't do that shit.

Lame

Why don't you just fucking kill me, and replace me with an AI copy of myself. What a dumb fucking world these companies are pushing for.

Jackasses.

Well at least someone will play the video games while I'm working my 80 hour work weeks!

Environmental destroyers, future generations will condemn this irresponsible behavior and hopefully punish it.

Just one upping Sonys ai ghost tutorials

Maybe they can enhance it to play the whole game instead of just the end.

I would love to go back in time and show this to somebody who worked at the Nintendo Power Tip Hotline. They would be all like "oh shit, AI is going to take our jobs in the future?" not knowing that their jobs were replaced decades ago by autistic people with dial-up internet making GameFAQs txt files.

It’s so hard to raise kids to turn off the light when they leave the room, with huge wastes of electricity like this just running rampant in the world.

So fucking out of touch, LMAO.

Sure, burn the planet for a gamegenie.

They want me to pay them for a game and then pay them for their AI to play it for me.

That is one of few use cases of AI : to cheat instead of getting good at anything.

Not for nothing, but couldn't this be used to have AI play a game for 80,000 simulated hours and flag all the bugs? Human playtesters are important and have value, but no human should have to do the work of criss-crossing an enormous game map thousands of times just to see if the character model gets stuck on a random vertex sticking out somewhere, and yet it seems to be a distressingly common occurrence in more than a few games I've played.

And like that, we now have corporation produced bots in videogames.

Hahahahahahahahaha now Elon can beat every game ever! Hahahahahahaha!

so they spent millions attacking and removing hackers from their games, only to allow AI bots to do it for a subscription fee......

iran, can you blow up this data center while you're at it?

Just watch a movie at this point. I started playing old games because I was missing the feeling of staring at a screen for a solid minute with no idea how to proceed and having to figure it out for yourself, or repeating the same section again and again slowly conquering what seemed impossible on the first try.

I am afraid that it actually can sell... botting already is happening in a lot of games to farm ressources and sell them for RL moneys. Right now this goes against most games ToS, but if this is a 'legal' way of doing things with less risk, it could be viable for some people...

Not that I condone any of this, but ressource markets in games will be heavily cornered then.

soo

extremly unoptimised tool assisted speedrun?

What's the point then? I pay for a game that I'm not even playing just so, what, my numbers of "completed" games goes up?

I'm someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it'll be done, without me seeing a single scene.

Oh neat, just one step away from having AI buy the game for me as well.

this could be a way to help people complete difficult parts, but there exists another solution to this problem

asking game developers to add assist modes

it is much easier to do, much cheaper, better integrated into the game, basically impossible to fail, works on all platforms, does not need internet access, is not resource intensive, but it does not use AI so its bad

Meeting in Microsoft 2026:

• we made report that says 90% of people don't complete games
• we have a solution, let's spend couple billion of dollars to make AI to finish games for them and charge them for xbox copilot gamepass
• maybe it is just lost of interest ? ( fire this guy )

Meeting in Microsoft 2028:

• nobody is using our $100B slop game finishing xbox copilot AI gamepass game partner
• maybe it was just lost of interest ?

Can you patent something as trivial as this?

That’s what all WoW players will use day one for their daily quests.

Didnt Sony just patent something similar?

All the big companies crank out a dozen patents every day, that cover everything under the sun, just in case they ever have to engage with each other in patent warfare. For the simple reason that the competitors are doing the same.

Somehow we never hear about the vast majority of these patents.

So, an NPG, like, a movie?

The example given in the article is trying to get a rare gem or something. I honestly think it would be pretty funny to see chatgpt try to get something truly difficult. I imagine that AI would be quite bad at precise, well timed and executed maneuvers.

surely this is bait 😂

It makes me sad to see everyone trashing this so much. No one ever thought of it as a disability aid? I would love to have a system that would let me hand off strenuous parts to the AI so I could take over during less intense parts.

Edit: Fuck you lemmy bunch of ableist twats.
