Why would I want AI to play the game other than for testing?
I want AI to do my chores not play my games.
Right? Like, figure out how to sort and fold laundry.

Honestly I’d be curious about what a couple Minecraft bots could do. If you gave them a roadmap to endgame gear, what kind of farms would they build?
If they’re as good at the game as LLMs are at writing, the bots would probably try to build a Nether portal using black wool instead of obsidian, then set it on fire, then die burning on said fire.
Sorry, AI must only be inserted into places it isn’t actually wanted.
Why the fuck is AI always being applied to only parts of society that are fun?
I guess Elon won’t be needing gamers’ services to max out his characters anymore.
Fucking AI taking valuable jobs away again.
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.
I don’t watch others playing games, either, but someone who likes those streams told me he didn’t see a difference between watching good gamers play games and good football players play football.
Can someone tell me how an idle game is a game? There is no game being played in one of those.
I was laughing along until you said “watching a stream (even without commentary)”. Yeah I’ve done that one. Sometimes I want to see what’s next in the game without spending 100 hours to get there ><. Also watching lets me mentally unwind, playing takes a mental toll.
I think we’re all kinda beat down by life, so I don’t really judge people on it. I just am not one of them, haha. (But I don’t even watch TV or movies much so I’m admittedly a weirdo).
I also don’t watch TV or movies – only Twitch streams. I’ve been this way even when not beaten down by capitalism and fascism though. Even when I’m taking a break from working on creative projects, it’s still nice to be able to turn my brain off and get the experience of seeing the game. Maybe my unmedicated ADHD makes me that way.
Imagine thé thing you cook and guide a rimworld playing ia while making cookie then an horde attack you start yelling the cookie burn your base is lost.
You never used cheat codes in GTA San Andreas and the like? It’s a lot of fun
I actually thought about that after my comment and summoning a tank from nowhere was fun. At least for a little bit… but maybe mostly for the novelty of it all. Also I was like, 12.
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…
A Minecraft and Roblox streamer tried that a year ago, primarily as a pitch to investors to make a service for other streamers to make AI-generated content. His name is Kwebbelkop. This guy managed to make the laziest brand of content I have ever even heard suggested as an idea: An AI avatar reading an AI reaction to an AI-generated image. And I thought reaction videos were bad…
I’m tired of all this…
How much legal trouble would I get for kicking a CEO in the testicles? it feels like it would be worth it if I ever met NVIDIA’s bosses.
Depends, are you rich?
Or remarkably good-looking?
None if you don’t get caught. They’re not going to do a full investigation if you don’t try to murder the guy. Also, look how badly the current FBI fumbled the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s killer? into Brian Thompson’s killer?
It’s crazy how much Brian Thompson isn’t even a name in my head. If someone murders me, I only hope they’re not so charismatic that when people try to remember me they just picture a beige balloon named John Lastname.
Finally I will get through my Steam queue!
Great, another fun thing the LLM craze want to take from me. FFS.
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.
This seems like a very good use of the tech. Fuzzy testing is difficult to do, and it’s all about scale
This is all on the assumption it’ll work and be useful. The track record so far is underwhelming.
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.
What’s a bad game? Those Roblox mini games exist and are popular. Idle games exist…
The capitalists will control access to the AI and compute resources, which will be the means of production in this new world.
I doubt that. New services that host the open models are cropping up all the time. They’re like VPS hosting providers (in fact, existing VPS hosts will soon break out into that space too).
It’s not like Big AI has some huge advantage over the open source models. In fact, for images they’re a little bit behind!
The FOSS coding models are getting pretty fantastic and they get better all the time. It seems like once a month a new, free model comes out that eclipses the previous generation once a month.
We have access to the models. They cant take it away from all of us. Regular people? Maybe.
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 🤷♀️
Oh yeah? Go beat Talos Principle then.
Botting just got a whole lot easier - now old bitcoin farmers can go back to currency farming in games. At least in game currency prices will drop.
Mom, I want an aim bot!
But we have aim bots at home.
The aim bots at home.
