  Are you really playing the game if the game is just playing itself?

    Just certain sections. You could get it to do the whole thing I guess.

    You would still be experiencing the story as it’s meant to be told. Why do you think you have to “play” to fully enjoy something?

    Why do you think “let’s play” videos exist? Now instead, they can support the devs by buying the game and experiencing it themselves.

      Where do you think I said or even implied this?

        Your previous comment says exactly that. Your own words.

        So now they can support the dev and actually participate! Even better! Except to according to you.

    Can’t I use this to skip the unwanted sections? MJ missions in Spider-Man, for example.

      Depends how they implement it. Older option was to use cheats to skip parts and maybe watch a video if you want to see what happened in the part you skipped.

  You don’t need an AI to skip, bypass, or cinematic your way through a difficult section. That’s a game design issue, not a patentable AI issue. This does not support disabled people, this will be used to ignore disabled people during game design and fire people who are actually competent at supporting disabled people.

    This doesn’t prevent the other from happening. Why are you assuming that? Both can work hand in hand to deal with different issues

    Of course, if you just want to come in and see a company as evil, you won’t ever see the other side.

      Because I work in software development and I see first-hand exactly what executives are currently doing with AI. That’s what they’re doing. That’s the reality. What other side is there? That we’re going to get more games at lower prices thanks to AI? Sure, if you believe that I’ve got a real nice bridge to sell you too, get out your wallet and just hand it to me.

      If given all the evidence of the entire fucking economy of the world you think companies aren’t focused exclusively on short-term, short-sighted profits by minimizing costs and maximizing revenue, you’re so delusional you must be smoking capitalism like a drug.
