This derives from a fundamental misunderstanding of why people play games.

[kat_angstrom@lemmy.world]

Well, that sounds just awful

What's next? AI for your toaster?

Wait, no! I WAS JOKING!!!

[cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de]

Why don't we let AI play the game and we do all the work instead?

[luxspark@lemmy.cafe]

Sounds like a solution in search of a problem. While I use AI occasionally, I don't want it jammed into everything.

And let a puritan tool to coach me playing RimWorld?
No thanks

[imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works]

You jest, but I'm keeping an open mind after the surprising popularity of twitch. I could see people watching AIs play games for them and making temperature adjustments to things like proclivity toward side quests or how serious vs slapstick the play would be.

A TOASTER IS JUST A DEATH RAY WITH A SMALLER POWER SUPPLY!

"Copilot I'm losing this match, aim for me"

[luxspark@lemmy.cafe]

Well, if it can toast your bread perfectly without you having to babysit it, I think it's a decent use

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

Given the quality of llm responses and the quality of gaming advice on the internet I think copilot will be like getting coaching from the hardest stuck bronze 5 player of all time.

OK cool so now they are going to ruing gaming with bull shit "AI".

Fuck off microsoft.

[Guest]

Wow, spotting a red dwarf reference in the wild is rare these days.

"Copilot, analyze player xXWaterUnderYourMumsBridge4201Xx to determine what would be the most accurate slur to call them"

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Sounds like a solution in search of a problem.

Modern "AI" in a nutshell

If you're wealthy enough, you can just pay someone else to play for you like President Musk.

They need to announce copilot for clearing off and taking copilot with them.
