Sony is testing the characters provided by AI, who will talk directly to the player by using Openai and Chat-GPT to organize a conversation, according to the leaked scene seen by The Verge. The video shows the familiar Whacker Aloy robot from Horizon games “answering queries with voice and movement on the synthetic face provided by AI”. Sony’s copyright patrol has appeared with an “ello ‘ello” what we have’ and brought the video down from YouTube. But, SHHH, there are other ways to see it.
The scenes are still posted on live, for example. Skip the three -minute milestone if you just want to see AACTBOT operating. It shows that she answered some questions about herself and her origin, then entered the game world and answered other questions when she moved around, as if she could see the enemy nearby, whenever she was using, etc., they returned to a “interview” context and she summarized the last moments.
The presentation was taken by Sharwin Raghoebardajal, a software engineer working on AI and faced technology for an internal agency called Advanced PlayStation Studios. Raghoebardajal pointed out that this was just a prototype but confirmed it was also active in a dedicated building of Horizon Forbidden West. Guerilla Games worked with the group to develop the protest, he said.
For technology behind all, it is a Melange of AI tools, different sounds and animation. Openai’s Whisper is used to create speeches from the text, then the GPT-4 and LLAMA 3 language models do their scary things, before summarizing Sony’s voice and facing the animation technology to end all. As a result, some robotic movements if a little facial movement, and a worrying voice from the depth of hell brothers technology. I don’t want it to be near me or my pet.
“We will not go into whether this is interesting for the games,” said Raghoebardajal, “whether it is reasonable to talk to Aloy when you are playing the game … or where we will take memory to run everything on the consumer control panel. This is just a glimpse of what is possible.”
After The Verge published their story on AI-Loy, the video they posted was brought down through the request from Muso, a copyright enforcement company with Sony as a customer. Hey, Sony, relax. It may be worse. Do you remember when the Vatican chatbot was destroyed for telling people that you can baptize children in Gatorade? That is joy.
If you have never played Horizon game, they are the open world action adventures about human tribes trying to exist in a world where humans are almost wiped out. The collapse of civilization is due to artificial intelligence.
