"The irony of it... is so overwhelming": players continue to marvel at AI version of Eloy from Horizon Zero Dawn
Sony recently leaked a video showing the character Eloy from Horizon Zero Dawn being controlled by artificial intelligence (AI). This step caused a wave of ironic comments among fans of the game, as the plot of Horizon Zero Dawn warns about the dangers of irresponsible use of AI and technological progress at any cost.
Here's What We Know
On Reddit, one user noted: "The whole game is a warning against this kind of thing." Another added: "The irony of this... is so overwhelming." In the original Horizon Zero Dawn game, the world was destroyed by an uncontrollable AI that created self-replicating robots that feed on organic matter. Now, Sony is investing time and money in the development of an AI version of Eloy, which seems strange to many players.
One Reddit user noted that the point of Horizon Zero Dawn is not that "AI is bad", but that the misuse of AI is dangerous. The idea of using AI to automate everyday tasks may be appealing, but replacing creative professions with algorithms is worrying.
