    The most useful thing I’ve done with it so far is ask it specific game information like, “hey, I’m in x level and I see a chest. I can’t see a way to get it right now, is it something I can come back and get later? Or do I have to figure it out now?”. And it can answer that.

    Yeah, except it can also get things very wrong. I tested it against my RuneScape knowledge. RuneScape is niche enough to not have them “fixing up” stuff specifically for it to make it look good and big enough that there has been a lot written for the LLM to go off of.

    Suffice to say its advice was plausible sounding but inefficient if not outright grammatically correct nonsense. I would’ve been better served in every case by looking up player made guides.

    Saves me from having to look up an ad riddled guide, but that’s not a killer feature. Integration with aps could be huge, where it can actually do whatever task for you, or automate something tedious, but that’s still not super common. I’d rather personally and directly control anything vaguely important.

    Yeah it’s kind of that last bit there.

    I honestly don’t know what they’re going to do with AI stuff but I feel it’s going to be a huge bust. The fundamentals of the technology are just completely unproven. To me it seems like a bunch of people invested in a palm reading machine and then (because they have a lot of money) tried to convince themselves and everyone else that the palm reading machine really is going to change the would (and they didn’t just get scammed).
