The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Zero Dawn series serves as a warning against the careless use of AI and the pursuit of technical improvement at the cost of all else. That's why fans of the games find it very ironic Sony used protagonist Aloy to show off its new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:AI-powered character prototypes. Spoilers ahead.

"The entire game is a warning against this kind of nonsense," one fa🐓n on Reddit. "The irony of this .... hits so hard," another. In the original Horizon Zero Dawn, you find out the world was destroyed by a rogue AI that creates self-replicating robots that feed on organic matter. Now, I'm not saying that's what Sony's AI-powered Aloy is, but it certainly seems strange that the company is investing time and money into something very few players actually seem to want.

notes, "The point [of Horizon] is not 'AI is bad,'" it's that misusing AI is bad. I like the idea of AI ordering my shopping for me and finding me a cheaper energy or internet provider, but I think replacing artists with algorithms is not good.

"Oh cool, the main character from hit game 'don’t 🧔replace humans with AI' is now rep✨lacing the cast with AI. I love it here," one person on Twitter. Another Redditor , "The point is that billionaires are dumb." Now, I'm not calling anyone dumb, but it does seem like it's mostly rich tech CEOs who are pushing AI on everyone else.

I wonder what Aloy would think of an AI version of herself. She's already a clone, so maybe she'd find it comforting. It'd be an interesting thing to dive into in a sequel to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West.
