Reddit.

The patent called “STATE MANAGEMENT FOR VIDEO GAME HELP SESSIONS” describes multiple examples where a pop-up might ask a player to let a helper take over the gameplay for a while.

Imagine if a user were struggling to find a rare gem in an RPG; if allowed, the helper would take control from the player. They would proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem.

Next new AI feature; an AI that can watch the series/films for you, think of all the time you can save!

Are we all certain they haven’t just been asking an AI trained on Pimp My Ride clips for advice? This path seems to point to “we heard you like AI, so we put an AI on your AI to use your AI”. And only X to the Z can save us now

Can it spit on me and tell me I'm worthless? We've got a long way to go is all I'm saying.
