Hahahahahahahahaha now Elon can beat every game ever! Hahahahahahaha!

I would love to go back in time and show this to somebody who worked at the Nintendo Power Tip Hotline. They would be all like "oh shit, AI is going to take our jobs in the future?" not knowing that their jobs were replaced decades ago by autistic people with dial-up internet making GameFAQs txt files.

They want me to pay them for a game and then pay them for their AI to play it for me.

Yeah, on the networked virtual machine you will be playing it on because no one can afford the hardware to run games anymore.

It’s so hard to raise kids to turn off the light when they leave the room, with huge wastes of electricity like this just running rampant in the world.

What's the point then? I pay for a game that I'm not even playing just so, what, my numbers of "completed" games goes up?

I'm someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it'll be done, without me seeing a single scene.

What's going to be their next trick? Launching a service that'll watch the latest Netflix series for me and give me a summary when it's done?

That's the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

In Mircrosoft capitalism the game play you.

Oh neat, just one step away from having AI buy the game for me as well.

Sure, burn the planet for a gamegenie.

Ah, the world we all hoped for with AI:

AI doing all the fun stuff like art and games and humans get to do the hard work like fixing AI mistakes, fighting wars, and working until we die

I was starting to write a sarcastic comment about the future of Xbox being just the customer paying for a game and then watching the computer play it for them, but yeah that could totally happen.

The example given in the article is trying to get a rare gem or something. I honestly think it would be pretty funny to see chatgpt try to get something truly difficult. I imagine that AI would be quite bad at precise, well timed and executed maneuvers.

Of course. Why would I want to play games?

I can’t wait until AI can pet my dog and fuck my wife for me.

so they spent millions attacking and removing hackers from their games, only to allow AI bots to do it for a subscription fee......

iran, can you blow up this data center while you're at it?

Not for nothing, but couldn't this be used to have AI play a game for 80,000 simulated hours and flag all the bugs? Human playtesters are important and have value, but no human should have to do the work of criss-crossing an enormous game map thousands of times just to see if the character model gets stuck on a random vertex sticking out somewhere, and yet it seems to be a distressingly common occurrence in more than a few games I've played.

Lame

Let’s skip the playing part. Let the customers pay and directly see their playthrough results and achievements.

You spelled Microslop wrong.

Spend $70-100 for a game. AI plays it.

Just watch a movie at this point. I started playing old games because I was missing the feeling of staring at a screen for a solid minute with no idea how to proceed and having to figure it out for yourself, or repeating the same section again and again slowly conquering what seemed impossible on the first try.

Used to be that patents were bad for innovation, like loading screen mini games or the nemesis system from the Mordor games. These days patents tend to be crap where I'm happy it's patented so others (hopefully) won't do that shit.
