this seems dumb to me. spend dumptrucks full of money on AI, when they could have just included a ‘skip this part’ button that does the same thing?
Old games just had cheat codes
I love patent illustrations.

Needs more piss filter, distortions and random nonsense. Then it will truly be AI!

I’m 100% certain I’ve seen this in a game ages ago, but without the dumb AI part.
Titanfall 2 definitely had the ghost thing.
I feel like that was a thing in one of the mario games?
Hmm, possible. Paper?
I wonder if the much more sensible strategy of just making the ghost a recording of a person beating it, instead of shoehorning in AI, would infringe on this patent.
Isn’t this a Nintendo thing from like the 2000s? Why would you even need to use AI when you could just use a recording of one of your testers doing it or (crazy thought) just using a “skip this” button? This seems like a dumb way to shoe-horn AI into something that doesn’t make sense.
So … they patented NPCs?
I feel like they do not understand why people play games.
Also this thing is gonna get exploited for a cheat bot tout suite
Yeah, I usually KNOW how to get past an obstacle… sausage fingers are my issue, not inability to follow instructions or basic deduction skills.
I’ve got a fiver on it being hacked to cheat in competitive games.
Player: “Uh, hey… wouldn’t beating this section be easier if you didn’t jump directly into the lava pit?”
AI Ghost: “LOL, you’re right!! 😂😅🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ I’ll try to incorporate your feed back into future attempts to complete this section!”
<Proceeds to beeline for the lava pit and jump in>
“I’m sorry, I’ve failed you. I’m trash.” <Corrupts your saves, for every game, including cloud saves. Bricks your system>
The “claim” is that it would be trained on gameplay footage, so like … is it just going to do what a bunch of players do?
How can they patent it? I’ve seen something very similar more than 20 years ago. AI is a keyword here? Like you can patent everything as long as it’s AI?
Yeah, it’s especially funny to me, because the word “AI” has been used in gaming to describe the behavior code for NPCs since forever. And in this case, they actually even happen to refer the same thing in the end. At best, it’s a different strategy for getting to that same end result.
If I need help I will look up a video or a guide. I dont need a fucking AI.
Why even play the game then!?
Didn’t Nintendo already do this? Seems like an invalid patent.

Good, now nobody else can implement this idiotic system and I will continue to just not buy Sony games.
why not just have an AI play the whole game for you? sounds great /s
Lookout twitch streamers AI is going to take your job too!
I don’t think this will be a joke for long.
Let me guess, you have to pay a monthly subscription fee for this and if you want the free tier, it would just require you to play all games with an internet connection to ensure you aren’t doing something you shouldn’t and collecting your juicy data in the meantime. This fucking timeline is almost like the fallout timeline
