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?
I don’t need a summary. Just have it tell me whether I liked it or not.
Of course you did. Or else.
Drink a verification can to continue, consumer-slave.
Brain chip that blasts the entire series at you in one second.
At least that way I'd get to enjoy it while dying from my aneurysm.
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.
This is like 3 degrees from every kid now who just watches streamers play a game instead of actually playing it.
And yes, I get that some of this is due to them being lonely. Which is another societal issue. Its fucked up man.
Like... A movie?
This already exists as idle games on phones. I can't imagine anything more lame.
I think those games that are made to be boring and absurdly grindy and then offer you to pay to skip the boring parts are even worse. And they're not limited to phone, too.
"Pay to not play", when we ensure our gameplay loop is so bad that you literally think your time spent in it has negative value.
That's the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.
Presumably this is marketed at Elon Musk so he can pretend to be a gamer.
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.
Hey it’s me, the AI. What kind of dog we talking bout here?
At his speech in Davos the fuckwit known as Elon Musk was talking about how in the future everybody will have or wants to have their own personal AI robot that is taking care of their elderly or children for them. Or taking care of their pets. Like, the clankers are already overtaking the wrong tasks. Now just take human interaction out of everything please so I can finally fulfill my dream of being fulltime obedient work cattle. /s just in case
You spelled Microslop wrong.
What's even the point of this.....
Legitimately nothing. I think this is MS looking for use cases, because they have sunk all their capacity into AI. They cannot detangle themselves from their AI, and they're trying to course correct into SOMETHING that might be profitable and pull them out of their death spiral.
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.
Yea, I used to clean the windows in office buildings and we'd go into a completely empty floor and all the lights would be on and the heat or A/C would be blasting. Then I'd be downtown at 4am shoveling snow and I'd look up and all the inside lights in those empty office buildings were still on.
Then we'd get a notice to help conserve energy at home.
Let’s skip the playing part. Let the customers pay and directly see their playthrough results and achievements.
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.
That should really be someone's day job. Think of all the horrible shit that could be invented and patent it so it is never actually created.
Lame
They want me to pay them for a game and then pay them for their AI to play it for me.
Sure, burn the planet for a gamegenie.
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.
Croteam did something like that for "Talos principle". You can read here (points 9 and 10 in the article).
I want the computer to do the work, not the fun, for fuck's sake!
Just one upping Sonys ai ghost tutorials
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?
Well at least someone will play the video games while I'm working my 80 hour work weeks!
Maybe they can enhance it to play the whole game instead of just the end.
Hahahahahahahahaha now Elon can beat every game ever! Hahahahahahaha!
Environmental destroyers, future generations will condemn this irresponsible behavior and hopefully punish it.
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
So fucking out of touch, LMAO.
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.
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.
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.
soo
extremly unoptimised tool assisted speedrun?
That is one of few use cases of AI : to cheat instead of getting good at anything.
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 is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
