Gaming These ai video game mash ups

I hate these stupid gimmicky ai slop video game mash ups. I genuinely do no care for them. Everyone is acting like it’s the coolest shit in the world, it’s a fucking gimmick you laugh at for 5 minutes before moving onto something with equal or less substance. It’s also more justification for ai being pushed into every little fucking thing for no reason.

It’s technically both. The PC is running both games at the same time and the AI is bridging the gap between the code to make this.

You mean it re-writes the code during runtime or something ? Or does it write it before running it ?

It passes collision and damage data from Elden Ring to Mario and also passes back visuals from Mario directly into ER engine so it draws it in the game world.

Iirc, it doesn’t rewrite the code exactly. I’m no programmer but what I know is that the gameplay is more akin to a green screen mesh than anything. In this example, You’re basically picking Mario and putting him in a green screen, then projecting the rest of Elden Ring onto it. What the AI is doing is bridging the gap so Mario can interact with Elden Ring.

But yeah, it’s not exactly rewriting anything. I’m not pro-AI, but this seems like the most innocent use of it I’ve ever seen tbh. It’s a novelty, it’s fun. And even though I can agree that it’s kinda scary that it can do that now, the AI isn’t exactly a programming genius in this instance.

It's technically just a mod, not AI. The thing that produced something is not that thing. A program that was made by AI is not necessarily AI just like a program made by a human is not a human.
