Oh don’t worry. Some AI boot licker will come to defend this as well. “WelL yOu SeE nOt EvErYoNe HaS tHe TiMe To PlAy GaMeS. ThIs WiLl MaKe GaMiNg MoRe EfFiCiEnT.”
I’ve come to loathe the term efficiency
First pay for the game, then pay for slop shit so you don't have to play the game. Corporate big brain time at its best 😄
Edit: I didn't read, I'm stupid, don't be like me. It's even worse than I imagined.
Not even. They're going to sell you the idea that you're a game dev, and sell you each piece and asset.
It's the optimized AI version of "during a gold rush, is the people selling shovels and picks that get rich."
“Finish” as in beat or best, not as in complete a development work to be shipped
Oh... Holy Fuck. It's more dystopian and stupid than I realized.
I’m sorry and I hate it

Why even bother living. Just get "AI" to live for you, and recycle your meaningless meat form.
You exist to be exploited for the benefit of the shareholders. This allows you to work so many more hours a day.
Might as well watch youtube for free
Might as well skip the gameplay, give the achievements and trigger the good ending.
Might as well close your eyes, smile and and imagine you are king of the world.

What's the point of gaming with this?
There are plenty of people who are happy to cheat at anything.
It's kind of like the old Nintendo hotline. Call when you're stuck on something in a game. Or just looking up a walkthrough online.
That said, this makes it far easier to ask for help and kids might just rely on it too much instead of figuring stuff out on their own.
With the hotline and guides you still had to actually play yourself. This is a step further, you just watch the game play itself.

They don't just want the machines to create the art and music for us, they want them to consume it for us too, so that we'll have more time to slave away at our jobs.
Wake up, babe - the stupid ass patent wars are back again, AI edition.
First they came for our jobs, next our hobbies, now for our very entertainment ? Who could ever ask for a feature such as this !?
look, on the bright side they burn up every ressource on the planet.
Next new AI feature; an AI that can watch the series/films for you, think of all the time you can save!

They need it to do something, anything, to justify the investment. As time goes and the sunk cost gets worse, the attempts will be more desperate.
This kind of feature will be for a fee.
They are all looking for a “killer AI app”.
This is why “consciousness” is trying to be marketed as achieved. This assumes the tasks performed can be varied, adapted to, and the AI left unattended while its rich owner fucks off and no longer has to pretend to pay insurance premiums for workers.
I do play some video games and I guess this is nice, but what I really enjoy is listening to music. When am I gonna get an AI helper to listen to songs for me so I can get that done in peaceful silence instead?
There should be an AI helper to pet and play with my cat, that way all I need to do is buy food and pay vet bills and clean the litter.
I wish I could get an AI to hang out with my wife and kids so I could spend more time creating shareholder value.
My biggest fear with this is an arms race between puzzle developers and these solvers. I hope devs never design their games with the expectation that players will use AI

I mean... Use the developers console or a cheat if you're stuck with something and want to continue playing, or just quit the game. There's no need for an AI to do this.
I do wish that more games still had cheats. It does feel a bit like a lot of newer games have foregone them entirely. You can't type plane into GTA V, and have a plane materialise, like you could in Vice City, for example.
You'd need to mod it in.

The other thing the helps people get unstuck in games is good game design. 🙃
I suppose this is just the equivalent of reading a game guide that someone has written, but this feels like it could remove too much friction. Are you playing the game if everything just becomes a tutorial?
Clearly they think that gaming is the same as working.
A STRANGE GAME.
THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS
NOT TO PLAY.
Ain't this just botting?
Im definately contrarian here. I like games but some aspects a hate. I would totally give over to a helper for platforming and all sorts of stuff I hate. Heck I like things like the ff12 gambit system. I love rpgs because I like to setup and build and see how it goes.
I would just choose to play games that aren't mostly things I hate 🤷♂️
I guess it could be used to get through forced stealth segments in games with absolute dogshit stealth mechanics, but I would rather just see developers not put forced stealth levels in their game that wasn't built to do stealth mechanics well.
its not most but like elden ring had platforming I would 100% allow the agent to go do. Lets me clear I have watched people do it without editng out their save scumming and these are the people good at it and it took a few tries. Again the game is not mostly that. but that is in it and games like to throw like that particular thing I hate pretty often.
The first jump that the DEVS point you toward in that one platforming area is so fucked. The only jump worse is the one in DS3 to get the Firekeeper Set. The geometry in both instances is hella fucked. 😩
honestly I hated both of them. actually one thing my wife and I talked about the game in terms of graphics was how it trigger both of our aggrophobias. Whats funny is hers is worse in real life but im easier effected virtually. All the ledge areas made me nervous as heck.
i hope they sit on the patent to prevent other devs in implementating AI assistants in their games.
Then they tell publishers and game developers that more players finish their games on Microsoft’s platform than any others!
This sounds like the ironically good version of the Nemesis System patent - no AI helpers in non-Microslop games for the next 20 years.
