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

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

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.

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"

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.
