>Sony has patented a system to use AI to generate individualized podcasts featuring its biggest characters and mascots.>The patent, submitted in mid-2024 and approved in January, claims the system, dubbed "LLM-based generative podcasts for gamers," will generate "unique, personalized podcasts of news that a particular gamer would find interesting," and could be presented in the voice of a video game character from a game "already played by the respective gamer." It appears this could be offered to players on the home screen when they power on their PlayStation console.>“Video game platforms currently lack the ability to provide unique and targeted content to gamers to update the gamers about things that are happening on the platform,” the patent adds, (thanks, VGC). “There are currently no adequate solutions to the foregoing computer-related, technological problem.”>This content — which pulls information from game and friends lists, and could include news about updates, skill checks, adverts, or gameplay advice — would then be delivered to the player in the voice of a familiar character.
>>732201886What the fuck? This is already a thing. I swear you could generate NPR type podcasts years ago plugging in an article and getting a man and a woman explaining it to you in the back and forth podcast format.
>>732201940But if you do it now using the voice of Aloy, Kratos or Nathan Drake, you'll get sued.
>>732201886Couldn't they just hire some people to make a normal podcast?
I already generate podcast for my friend group that has my friend group as cast. It has predicted things so many times that we hardly have to think anymore. We used to rely on this one guy doing IGL stuff in games like CS but he got replaced by AI as well. He can now just enjoy the game with us.
Is it really humanity's greatest desire? to does nothing and thinks nothing?
>>732201886this is retarded. But patenting videogame ideas is even more retarded, that shit should be illegal
>>732201886>AI podcasts for AI viewers to listen to while AI playing an AI made videogame for you>while you slave away in the mines>if you get a kid they steal it from you and fuck it raw on epstein islandThis is just like Cyberpunk 2077!
>>732202421Yes sir
