Ah, the world we all hoped for with AI:

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.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
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?
luthis@lemmy.nz 5 weeks ago
This already exists as idle games on phones. I can’t imagine anything more lame.
brsrklf@jlai.lu 5 weeks ago
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.
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Don’t forget paying for the AI “service” too
Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.
CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Presumably this is marketed at Elon Musk so he can pretend to be a gamer.
hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
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.
veeesix@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Hey it’s me, the AI. What kind of dog we talking bout here?
Bababasti@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
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
hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Please master Elon, I desperately want to free myself from the shackles of genuine human connection. I desire the cold embrace of steel and servitude.

Spend $70-100 for a game. AI plays it.
IllNess@infosec.pub 5 weeks ago
Wait until Mircrosoft finds out you can watch playthrough videos on YouTube without having to buy the game.
Ghostie@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Oh no. YouTube is going to be full of AI playthrough videos soon.

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.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
They created the solution with no problem. Now they’re making problems up.

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.
johnyreeferseed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
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 we’d get a notice to raise our home a/c to help conserve energy…
Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 weeks ago
Take this with a grain of salt because I have 0 knowledge, but Ive read that they do that to balance the grid. Power used at night is not an issue but home usage during peak hours is what cracks the grid.
unnamed1@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
Let’s skip the playing part. Let the customers pay and directly see their playthrough results and achievements.

core@leminal.space 5 weeks ago
They want me to pay them for a game and then pay them for their AI to play it for me.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
and then pay them for completion of the game, and results are seperate cost.

Sure, burn the planet for a gamegenie.

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.
BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
The patent for the loading screen mini games should expire soon, right? I’m hoping it makes a comeback soon.
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 5 weeks ago
Already has, but loading screens are too quick now to make it worth actually doing.
Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
I want the computer to do the work, not the fun, for fuck’s sake!
GraniteM@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.

Nvidia is doing a lot of that. It’s slightly better than nothing. It also quite expensive unless you’re Nvidia.
just_another_person@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
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.
Jackasses.
Alloi@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
so they spent millions attacking and removing hackers from their games, only to allow AI bots to do it for a subscription fee…

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.
Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I miss GameFAQs text pages. Now it’s YouTube videos stretched out to 10 minutes to explain 30 seconds worth of info.
solrize@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Maybe they can enhance it to play the whole game instead of just the end.

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.
atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
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
Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
So fucking out of touch, LMAO.
Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 5 weeks ago
That is one of few use cases of AI : to cheat instead of getting good at anything.
WonderRin@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
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.
M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 weeks ago
Oh neat, just one step away from having AI buy the game for me as well.
xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 5 weeks ago
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?
hperrin@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
I don’t need a summary. Just have it tell me whether I liked it or not.
xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 5 weeks ago
Of course you did. Or else.

Sucks teeth. I suppose that would be a rather tall order without tool assistance. On a completely unrelated note, I just had the oddest flash of somebody having welded a golden(ish) bull to the front of a surplus APC ramming the resultant amalgamation into the nearest stock exchange and / or AI data center. No idea why.
