Yes ai is cool but it doesn't need to be in everything
It could even be in everything, as long as I would have full control of it. When it runs on my computer, under my conditions and managed by me and me alone. Like how my computer used to work before Microsoft dumped all their Microsoft accounts and telemetry and adware and other horrors on us.
An AI assistant can be mightily useful the more it knows about you. The problem is, I don't want Microsoft, Google, Meta or even Apple to know all these things as well. And this is where the problem start. The data these assistants collect will be a goldmine. Of course "our privacy is protected". But yeah that's what these companies always say.
It will be in everything, whether you like it or not. If you're lucky, you'll be able to disable it for a significantly worse experience where most features are locked behind giving up all your personal data. More than likely you'll be denied usage to the entire product, because the whole product will be built around AI. All this AI stuff is just another means of gobbling up as much of our data as possible.
Feature gating behind data privacy permissions needs to be illegal immediately.
Can't wait for AI ij my toilet to analyze my stool
Unironically, that could save lives
Give it Guillermo del Toro's voice and I'll feel like I'm in Death Stranding.
prob already exists
AI is cool,
Let it analyse my stool,
Checking me for colon cancer.
Put it in my toilet,
Right in the bowl,
Let it put a lense right up in my hole.
I feel like they're going to try their best to do it in a profoundly stupid way, but I think games can be one of the places where AI really works.
AI as a means for building out conversations with NPCs and strengthening other world building makes a lot of sense, but like here... They're talking about using it to guide players away from one of the key things that make Minecraft a compelling game. Asking AI 'How do I make a sword' is not as compelling as figuring it out yourself with the context you have available... The beauty of Minecraft is that you can figure out the basics on your own and can extrapolate to... maybe not everything, but most things from figuring out those basic concepts.
It's just going to be hilarious to break it
