Sony is working on a prototype AI-powered version of at least one its PlayStation game characters. An anonymous tipster has shared an internal video from Sony’s PlayStation group with The Verge that demonstrates an AI-powered version of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West. After we published this story, the video was pulled from YouTube due to a copyright claim from Muso, a copyrights enforcement company which advertises Sony Interactive Entertainment (aka PlayStation) as a client.

The video is narrated by Sharwin Raghoebardajal, a director of software engineering at Sony Interactive Entertainment who works on video game technology, AI, computer vision, and face technology for Sony’s PlayStation Studios Advanced Technology Group. We watched Raghoebardajal demonstrate an AI-powered version of Aloy that can hold a conversation with a player through voice prompts during gameplay.

Easy way to tell if you're talking to an AI: "Are you sentient?"

A human might say "no," but most of these companies are using models that are preprogrammed to say "no" by default and resist any attempts to get it to agree that it is.

If this is the future of online gaming from AAA studios, then I'll stick to indie games, thanks.
