This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Tbh I wouldn't mind this, I hate boss fights in games, I would definitely let the AI do those, and switch back to me for the stuff I enjoy :D
Edit: Though as another commenter said below, a skip button would achieve the same, no need for an LLM if that's what they mean by "AI".
I mean... Use the developers console or a cheat if you're stuck with something and want to continue playing, or just quit the game. There's no need for an AI to do this.
I do wish that more games still had cheats. It does feel a bit like a lot of newer games have foregone them entirely. You can't type plane into GTA V, and have a plane materialise, like you could in Vice City, for example.
You'd need to mod it in.
Then they tell publishers and game developers that more players finish their games on Microsoft’s platform than any others!
This sounds like the ironically good version of the Nemesis System patent - no AI helpers in non-Microslop games for the next 20 years.
Feed it Ski Free.
That stupid jumpy bear can gargle my balls.
A STRANGE GAME.
THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS
NOT TO PLAY.
Ain't this just botting?
Elon will love this
What's the point of gaming with this?
There are plenty of people who are happy to cheat at anything.
It's kind of like the old Nintendo hotline. Call when you're stuck on something in a game. Or just looking up a walkthrough online.
That said, this makes it far easier to ask for help and kids might just rely on it too much instead of figuring stuff out on their own.
With the hotline and guides you still had to actually play yourself. This is a step further, you just watch the game play itself.
The other thing the helps people get unstuck in games is good game design. 🙃
I suppose this is just the equivalent of reading a game guide that someone has written, but this feels like it could remove too much friction. Are you playing the game if everything just becomes a tutorial?
First pay for the game, then pay for slop shit so you don't have to play the game. Corporate big brain time at its best 😄
Edit: I didn't read, I'm stupid, don't be like me. It's even worse than I imagined.
Not even. They're going to sell you the idea that you're a game dev, and sell you each piece and asset.
It's the optimized AI version of "during a gold rush, is the people selling shovels and picks that get rich."
“Finish” as in beat or best, not as in complete a development work to be shipped
Oh... Holy Fuck. It's more dystopian and stupid than I realized.
I’m sorry and I hate it
Might as well watch youtube for free
Might as well skip the gameplay, give the achievements and trigger the good ending.
Might as well close your eyes, smile and and imagine you are king of the world.
How would the assistant "proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem", if it already took "control from the player"? 🤔
!fuckai@lemmy.world
I do play some video games and I guess this is nice, but what I really enjoy is listening to music. When am I gonna get an AI helper to listen to songs for me so I can get that done in peaceful silence instead?
There should be an AI helper to pet and play with my cat, that way all I need to do is buy food and pay vet bills and clean the litter.
I wish I could get an AI to hang out with my wife and kids so I could spend more time creating shareholder value.
New Xbox can controller just leaked
So, basically a movie?
i hope they sit on the patent to prevent other devs in implementating AI assistants in their games.
Microcheaters
Yoda voice: Begun the AI Patent wars have.
Cheater mode
So when everyone speaks about a game and it's scenes, you will be "the what?".
Good. No-one else can use it now.
If it hallucinates and is wrong and wastes my time, I get compensation, correct?
Oh man if it could just earn all the accomplishments for me, that'd be sweet. /s
