“The future is never far away.” That’s the comment Nvidia made yesterday on social media about an old April Fool’s joke about AI in games.

Privacy Policy There are three fake AI features mentioned in the video, but only one feels like something that could actually be real today. “GeForce GhostPlay” is described as AI that “watches how you play to mimic you,” and would then let the AI play for you. The situation described was that you were in the middle of a multiplayer game and needed to answer the front door without being able to pause the game.
Of course, the obvious problem with anything like this is cheating. The video includes settings for how offensive or defensive you want to be and your actions per minute, but would it be considered cheating if the AI can only perform as well as you do in the game? And if it were restricted to small amounts of time? That could actually be useful.— Microsoft Copilot May 20, 2024
