A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This one's a shame. Oh, well. Guess Square Enix is dead to me now.
Most action games already have a.i. running parts of the challenges, and have had them for decades. The way a computer opponent responds to your actions is most likely determined by a.i..
Something tells me gamers know this, and you lot know this, and so does Square Enix, but someone somewhere prefers to limit the meaning of a.i. to LLM-based chatbot, for whatever stupid reason.
Historically, yes; however, the article says this will be Gemini. So it's an AI agent that's going to play the game because you'll be able to "converse" with it and it'll help in fights. I do wonder who's going to be fronting that cost.
