    Y’all laugh but there are way too many people into idle games, not to mention people who prefer watching a stream (even without commentary) over playing a game itself.

    I cannot comprehend why, though, just like I can’t comprehend how cheating (particularly single player) can be fun.

    Actually if they can use that to make good ai opponents for 4x games, it’d be pretty sweet

    That’s cool. AI can do art and writing and video games for me. It can watch all my shows. All I have to do is work and maybe sleep. Sounds fun.

      Work is hard, modern games are easy.

      Shoot this dot, go to that dot, bring “x” to this dot…

      Anything requiring critical thinking like a puzzle, the bot just brute forces trying every possible outcome until something works.

      It works because games have a finite set of options and at least one progresses. The real world isn’t that clean, and you don’t get infinite chances to get 1 correct solution.

      Next: game companies can subscribe to NVIDIA anti-AI-cheating AI. This is innovation under capitalism.

    Great! Now the AI can play the video games for me while I do the dishes. I swear it was the other way around in the SciFi.

      Shut up and get back down the mines or your robot manager-security-cop will have to terminate you. Meet your billionaire-enforced quota and you’ll live to enjoy another day of mining.

    I guess Elon won’t be needing gamers’ services to max out his characters anymore.

    Fucking AI taking valuable jobs away again.

    The age of ai-generated streamers is coming…

    People and corporations will automatize all the process and turn it into passive income, and a lot of people will somehow watch it, making the thing profitable.

    I’m tired of all this…

    The ultimate conclusion to cheating in video games is literally just having the robot play them for you

    Something is just wrong with their brains which allows them to derive pleasure from antisocial activity 🤷‍♀️

    FYI: Stuff like this is for automated testing, not “playing games for you” 🤣

    Also, I won’t consider it realistic until it can type out, “lol git gud scrub” after ganking someone who just spawned.

      Makes sense. Upscaling and video interpolation instead of optimisation. Image generation instead of artists. Now this instead of actual testing.

      The 💩💩💩 gaming industry is going to somehow get even worse.

        Good games are orthogonal to AI usage. It’s possible to have a great game that was written with AI using AI-generated assets. Just as much as it’s possible to have a shitty one.

        If AI makes creating games easier, we’re likely to see 1000 shitty games for every good one. But at the same time we’re also likely to see successful games made by people who had great ideas but never had the capital or skills to bring them to life before.

        I can’t predict the future of AI but it’s easy to imagine a state where everyone has the power to make a game for basically no cost. Good or bad, that’s where we’re heading.

        If making great games doesn’t require a shitton of capital, the ones who are most likely to suffer are the rich AAA game studios. Basically, the capitalists. Because when capital isn’t necessary to get something done anymore, capital becomes less useful.

        Effort builds skill but it does not build quality. You could put in a ton of effort and still fail or just make something terrible. What breeds success is iteration (and luck). Because AI makes iteration faster and easier, it’s likely we’re going to see a lot of great things created using it.
