That's a joke... so far, but this is not:

Yep, Sony's solution to not being able to make an affordable machine / game combo that can do 4k60fps is to augment ai frame generation with ai predictive player input.

So, basically, if/when this gets implemented, everyone will literally be playing with ai assisted aimbots and auto triggering movement macros, you know, hacks.

Because real rendering is too hard, because actual optimization is too hard... so... ai generate fake frames, which cause input lag, so then just ai generate player input, to compensate for the lag which is basically a result of UE5's nanite and lumen being horrendously unoptimized and unperformant.

Makes perfect sense. Why bother with root cause analysis when AI!!!!!

I think some people might actually need something like this. "You've been playing video games for 36 hours straight, please go take a shower. I will handle this for you until you're out."

That almost makes sense.

I recently tried one of those god-awful "idle clicker" style games, and my first thought was: "This is such a grind... I could write software to automate this." Then I realized that Factorio is right there.

Getting AI to play a game that was coded by AI, using AI textures and music, using AI upscaling and AI frame generation on my Copilot+ PC, so that I can use AI to create a YouTube video from the footage which can then be stolen by an AI web crawler and used to train AI models to create more AI content

You don't need AI to have auto-play MMOs and gachas. They even are on mobile!

What we need is a gaming AI that predicts what games you might play and preemptively downloads those giant patches while removing games you wouldn't play when disk space gets low.

Or better yet, cartridges.

Just saying, James Rolfe did an Angry Video Game Nerd two part episode with this very premise last month.

Great news for Elon

Isn't that what streamers are for?

I do love those games where you have to set rules and let the game play for you (anybody play Stone Story?). A game based on training AI and giving AI instructions on how to play it and watching what happens sounds interesting. Who’s gonna make this for me?

That's your average gacha game. And even some actual games did it, like Disgaea - ruining the whole series.

But can it be toxic ?

Cool, maybe I'll finally finish dark souls 3's first 10 meters of the map.

Unironicly I do enjoy playing a video game and asking the ai about shit tho. Eg. What does this item do etc etc

TBH: Some games are really a stupid grindfest. I'm avoiding some games because grinding for hundreds of hours to get to the interesting parts is stupid and I don't have the time for that. An AI that grinds for me would really be great.
