I just want a game where I get to name my character after myself and the voice-acted NPCs use AI to dub my name into their lines instead of awkwardly avoiding using names.

Even if this was a good idea, EA should not be allowed to patent it.

Contend6248,

Rockstar patented NPC showing natural behavior, eg. when feeling cold or hot

No wonder that advancements of immersion in games are moving so slow compared to graphics when these dipshit companies patent every tiny thing.

That’s not innovation

Why do you think if things are slower it's because of patents? There are jillions of patents on graphical stuff too.

Contend6248,

Yeah but you can often hack around it and accomplish something similar.

Patenting the use of the voice from the player or NPC behaving naturally are examples which just hurts the whole industry

What you linked is not representative of what you said. That’s a patent for a very specific technique in AI navigation. Not anything to do with NPCs feeling anything.

Additionally, looking into it. This headline is a bit sensationalized it’s a patent for one method, not for the concept. “A computer-implemented method of generating speech audio in a video game is provided. The method includes inputting, into a synthesiser module, input data that represents speech content,” it’s method is a bit generic and might be challenged. Overall there are other ways of doing it though.

Sounds liked a bad idea. Who wants their voice out there… just seems like a security issue.

EA might like it

Collecting more voice data that they will then own

sub_,

I could see people who became deaf-mute using it. Apple has Personal Voice for iOS that allows people who are losing their voice to use it to connect to their loved ones.

I just have hard time trusting EA.

Have they not noticed that virtually no one likes to hear their own voice because it sounds different than it does in their head?

bellsDoSing,

Assuming one hears their own voice in recorded form enough times, that “strange” feeling it might give at first subsides.

The funny thing is, there was this guy on YouTube who did the exact same thing, before Bing AI did. SunnyV2 made a video about it.

Nice try, AI, but just like birds Australia doesn’t exist. It’s probably from the same kookie shadow department responsible for it too. Oh that dog of mine.

A broader context given at cleantechnica.com/…/adding-context-to-that-consum…

Consumer Reports also grouped powertrains together when discussing reliability, which is where some issues start to appear. Apparently, EVs suffered 79% more problems than gas-powered vehicles. That will undoubtedly lead to shock headlines, but it’s also misleading, Autoblog says. Most EVs are new to the market, which goes back to the cliché mentioned earlier. There are also a lot fewer make/models availability, meaning that simply averaging all models together will result in a few bad apples skewing the results.

I assume this is used for this article consumerreports.org/…/who-makes-the-most-reliable… and maybe I overlooked it but I did not see it linked.

But overall, it seems like a weird study. There is so much variation between each car I have a hard time understanding what comparing reliability by type means or what value it has.

Somewhat ironically, this article reads a lot like it was written by a generative AI.

New Zealand strikes back after being excluded from so many maps

taanegl, to technology in Electric Vehicles Have 79% More Reliability Challenges Than Gas Powered Cars

Yeah, if we’re talking bugie cars like Tesla’s, engineered from top to bottom to be a propriety machine, with jerry rigged electric systems that would make Apple blush, where you have no control, no ownership and have no control?

Say it ain’t so!

Pease, let’s return to the gas cars, engineered from top to bottom to be a propriety machine, with jerry rigged electric systems that would make Apple blush, where you have no control, no ownership and have no control.

It’s the only way.

NattyNatty2x4,

Minor fyi but it’s spelled bougie

vivadanang, to technology in Electric Vehicles Have 79% More Reliability Challenges Than Gas Powered Cars

47% of all Electric Car “news” have a 82% chance of being 99% “bullshit”.

JustBrian7872,

Your numbers are convincing, you must tell the truth

vivadanang,

17% of America wants to know more.
