Shouldst thou have been wistfully yearning for a tête-à-tête with a beloved gaming denizen, it doth appear that Sony hath embarked upon a venture to grant thy wish. ‘Tis whispered that a video hath surfaced revealing Aloy, the luminary of Horizon Forbidden West, engaging in discourse with the player whilst expounding upon her origins. Having laid mine eyes upon the video, I find myself in awe of the Ai progress, yet uncertain of mine feelings regarding the outcome thus far.
A rascal hath dispatched a video unto The Verge, unveiling a PlayStation prototype wherein Sharwin Raghoebardajal, Sony’s maestro of software engineering, converses with Aloy. An anomaly, given that thou doth embody Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West, yet the overall impression from the video doth provoke an eerie disquietude.
Raghoebardajal beseeches Aloy to divulge more regarding her quest for her progenitor. The banter doth flow with an air of naturalness, despite the responses being borne of Ai enchantment. Alas, Aloy’s voice and countenance betray the artifice of their creation, venturing into the dreaded abyss of the uncanny valley.
A snippet of the video doth ensue below, although tread with caution — for it doth unveil certain storylines within Horizon Forbidden West.
Amidst the initial leakage, the veracity of the video was shrouded in ambiguity, though it did seemeth to be authentic. The Verge doth proclaim that the video was naught but a prototype conceived in collaboration betwixt the company and Guerrilla Games; a spectacle intended to flaunt the technological prowess at Sony, veiled from prying eyes. The demonstration hath employed OpenAI’s whisper model for speech-to-text functionality; GPT-4 and Llama 3 are purported to have been deployed for the dialogues.
An update hath since lent credence to this tale. The original leaked video hath been retracted by Muso, wielders of copyrights for Sony Interactive Entertainment, as elucidated by The Verge. Aegis extends to PlayStation.
‘Tis indeterminate when, or if, Sony shall set forth to employ Ai-driven characters in tangible gaming realms. The company treadeth a path already traversed by others in experimenting with Ai for character interactions. Nvidia hath unveiled sundry demos of Ace, its ensemble of Ai-crafted NPC tools; Ubisoft and Tencent embark upon a similar voyage.
