    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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

      Wait until Mircrosoft finds out you can watch playthrough videos on YouTube without having to buy the game.

    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.

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

      and then pay them for completion of the game, and results are seperate cost, saves will be using AI which is another cost.

    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.

    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.

    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).

      Nvidia is doing a lot of that. It’s slightly better than nothing. It also quite expensive unless you’re Nvidia.

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