NVIDIA Announces Project G-Assist: An AI Chatbot that's Situationally Aware of Your Game
Imagine you're playing a game, you're stuck somewhere, don't know how to craft something, can't manage your inventory, or need to get out of some tricky puzzle. You normally pause and minimize your game, pull up a web-browser, and sift through dozens of search results to find the right Wiki or community thread that solves your problem. Wouldn't it be great, if you could pull up an in-game chat window and interact with an AI chat assistant (not unlike ChatGPT), except, the assistant is situationally aware of your entire game-state? That is NVIDIA Project G-Assist.
NVIDIA is training an AI on the vast ocean of information from the Internet on the countless games there are. You will soon be able to pull up an AI chat assistant, and will be able to either give it a text or natural voice input on how you want it to help you in the situation of the game you're in, and it will be able to guide you. G-Assist will not play the game for you, just give you precise and concise answers based on your game state (something no Google search or game wiki can). Besides assisting your gameplay, G-Assist will also help you with performance optimization and system tuning, the way the NVIDIA App and GeForce Experience already do.

What is the use of this, genuinely, what is useful about this. We know google is awful right now, but at least you know you will get the right answer from a dedicated fan community, instead of a hallucinating chatbot. Imagine you're doing a cod zombies easter egg and a hallucination costs you 30 minutes, when you could've pulled up a guide from mrroflwafles in the same amount of time, and gotten concrete information that you know is reliable. What's the point?
"help you with performance optimization and system tuning", absolutely nothing new, not a feature.
I am confused as to who this is meant to be for, who this is meant to help.
It doesn't seem too exciting given that Microsoft and others also have AI + AI vision coming out as well but those that will apply across the entire OS. The same privacy concerns apply with both but other solutions are a lot more versatile.
Also, I don't need your crappy software to "tune" my system, Nvidia. I only install drivers for your GPU, nothing else. No thank you.
This "project" sounds like something some devs would propose to not get fired since they are useless.With this level of hand holding, they would be best watching someone stream the game instead of playing the game themselves.
My game is mine. Don't let AI mess it up. Get out of here.
8K
240fps
HDR
Full path tracing
Ultra max out settings
And you garenteed to win >90%
All is left for you is to sit and see your GPU play your game to perfection :pimp:
Jokes aside eventually we'll have cheats that will do just that, if there is no such thing already, though it would need to be trained on a per game basis. And it's pretty much going to be the end of things like online shooters because there will literally be no way to detect it, all it would need is a screen capture of the game.
Enjoy your games while you can.
What the fuck are they smoking, we're just past several decades of oversimplified games. They've lost the plot. Unless of course the new generation of gamers truly thinks they have it hard.
My god, the race to the bottom, enabled by AI, here we are. Something tells me Darwin has a fix for this.Cheats... ah yeah. I remember that. Cheats are also 'destroying games' in the minds of so many people.
Are you seriously saying this is the end of gaming? :D I think this is the way bubbles form and eventually burst. Why would anyone want this? You're already two clicks and a search away from finding the guide you need. There is nothing new here, except being constantly nagged by some AI, taking you out your immersion. Its not even fun playing games by guide. You do that once, twice, and then you figure out its boring as shit.Yeah exactly, I'm not seeing the business case here to be fair :p This isn't fun, which I last recalled was the reason for entertainment.Parting fools with money, duh. It's been Nvidia's mojo since Turing.
Thats what this is.
Though I do suppose those are rather a lot less tractable, requiring following an overarching storybook with significant context, as well as long-range consistency that current AI - those that run local or available to public for reasonable cost, at least - have difficulty doing. Hallucinations there would actually be somewhat realistic, or at least amusing, instead of sending you down a rabbit hole that does not exist.
On the other end, considering how many enjoyed gaming streams, or even paid others to play their game for them, there might as well be an use case for AI that plays your game for you. Call it cookie-clicker mode, maybe.That's precisely the same problem facing every single advanced AI trained with massive, Internet-scraped dataset out there at the moment. A lot of artists and authors are not amused one bit.
Lawsuits are already going on, though it would probably only end up affecting the smaller players (e.g. Stability) who already cannot compete with the likes of OpenAI, but put the model weights in the hands of the masses. Interesting times.
"I don't mind doing the laundry and dishes, AI is better at gaming than me anyway."
I am wondering what the ai facepalm looks like now though.
*finishes competitive game with a loss*
"GG noob" - AI chatbot. (perhaps 'jg diff')
