Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Who asked for this? Beyond Microsoft executives who want to justify their paycheck, I mean.

Though really there might be good entertainment value for a few streamers out there. Use it on a niche game or a fairly complex one and laugh at the inevitable hallucinated bullshit as the assistant pretends to know about it.

Edit : just read it was on a "list of supported games". Booo. Cowards.

These features get built because Microsoft and other tech companies evaluate staff on “AI use” and building AI features.

That means everyone has to build AI shit or get put on a PIP.

Yeah, I am sure that's what happened too. That's part of what I called executives justifying their paycheck, because it's a direct consequence. Make sure everyone below gets in on the program, or get rid of them.

Microsoft rolled out an AI chatbot for minecraft a few weeks ago and it is completely useless (unless you are asking about the marketplace). I feel like you won't even need to be playing a niche game for it to hallucinate.

Wow the thing is pathetic.

Fantastic, then maybe it has the potential to be very confidently wrong about everything!

I've played the first two Discworld point and click games. Let me tell you, I might have believed you if you told me that was a true hint for the first one.

Even knowing the books it got its inspiration from won't help you with some of its "puzzles".

I tried WoW for the first time a few months ago. I was hanging in voice chat with perplexity live mode, asking it about the meta, to give me estimations on gearing up (both money and time) and to give me extra lore context and information about pricing, content per expansion and so on.

I also used it to get instant summaries and info in arena breakout, and help me regain context when I've stopped playing a game for a while (I have to do X quest now, what has happened?).

I'm not going to use this specific thing from microsoft, but LLM are incredible tools for interfacing with non structured data through natural language. The AI assistants are going to be huge.
