Sony has recently patented an intriguing technology that could revolutionize the gaming experience on PlayStation: the AI-generated ‘Ghost Player.’ This innovative system allows players to summon an AI version of their character to either demonstrate solutions to challenging puzzles or complete sections of the game entirely. Imagine being stuck on a tricky level in your favorite game and having an AI guide you through it, enhancing your gameplay without the frustration of being stuck.

In a recent interview, former Rockstar writer Dan Houser shared his thoughts on the current state of AI in game development, emphasizing that while AI is making strides, it is not the panacea many claim it to be. Houser, who is working on his next game at Absurd Ventures, noted that although he is experimenting with AI, it still falls short of solving all the challenges faced in game design.
