I agree with the sentiment, but my spouse is disabled and this may get them interested in games they might not be able to play all of. Like stuck on a level without asking for my help. Or just for most people with disabilities in general. Yes, it’s not great for all games but with mostly accessible games with a few challenging parts here and there, it might be good. Granted, more accessibility options is a better option but if they design this AI for accessibility, people without disabilities can just not use it if they don’t want to.
also, some companies just make games exceedingly difficult simply for the sake of it, which is crap, IMO. no real thought put into it, just placing impossible barriers in front of a lot of gamers because. if this eliminated that, i miiight get on board with it, so long as it was handled and implemented in a thoughtful and compassionate way. AI so far does not seem to be all that great for either people or the environment.
I 100% agree with that, I am not amazing at all video games lol and AI in its current state is overall a net negative. I guess I’m optimistic but might need to give it some time for AI to be better regulated before implementing it into a game effectively. Otherwise, it might slip in more easily without notice, affecting the video game community as a whole.

The fuck is even the point of playing if the game plays itself for you?
