    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.

    Can you patent something as trivial as this?

    Meeting in Microsoft 2026:

    • we made report that says 90% of people don’t complete games
    • we have a solution, let’s spend couple billion of dollars to make AI to finish games for them and charge them for xbox copilot gamepass
    • maybe it is just lost of interest ? ( fire that guy )

    Meeting in Microsoft 2028:

    • nobody is using our $100B slop game finishing xbox copilot AI gamepass game partner
    • maybe it was just lost of interest ?

    And like that, we now have corporation produced bots in videogames.

    I am afraid that it actually can sell… botting already is happening in a lot of games to farm ressources and sell them for RL moneys. Right now this goes against ToS, but if Microsoft strikes deals and this is a ‘legal’ way of doing things with less risk, it could be viable for some people…

    Not that I condone any of this, but ressource markets in games will be heavily cornered then.

    It makes me sad to see everyone trashing this so much. No one ever thought of it as a disability aid? I would love to have a system that would allow me to skip the parts that are too strenuous for me and allow me to take over during less intense parts.

      Games already have this. There’s almost always a difficulty setting, and one of those settings in newer games is often “story only.” You make decisions, but your character executes the fast-twitch stuff itself.

    That’s what all WoW players will use day one for their daily quests.

      Dailies, and other similar grinds, are one of the worst crimes against humanity in mmos. Surely we can move beyond the ‘take twenty hours to level up your character so you can progress’ idea that crystallized in jrpgs and now sits in the center of the late game experience like a giant aragog sucking your enjoyment. Let me just log in and raid, gorramit!

    LMAO! Just what the “I want it now” generation dreams of.

    The example given in the article is trying to get a rare gem or something. I honestly think it would be pretty funny to see chatgpt try to get something truly difficult. I imagine that AI would be quite bad at precise, well timed and executed maneuvers.

      I’d love to watch it try to get the never die achievement in dark souls 2.

        I could genuinely see it getting like one good stream on twitch, kinda like twitch plays pokemon, but I have some serious doubts that AI would be able to manage an achievement like that.

        Microslop might as well just start selling achievements. Even if AI was good at this task, its still redundant because you can give a digital achievement to anybody lol
