I have a hard time seeing the demand for this.

Honestly would get some use in MMOs but they'll probably ban it with a quickness. I played a lot of Lord of the Rings online in college where you had to complete deeds that were kill 300 of this type of creature in this zone to level up a trait that gave stats to your character. Also collecting crafting material was a mindless slog as well.

Not to mention they sell level skips now that I believe are ~60 bucks of in game currency.

The idea doesn’t surprise me, but getting a patent for it would a bit. It’s simply not novel. Bot programs have been around forever. Shifting from code to AI doesn’t strike me as sufficient to justify patent protection. But who knows.

With how many people choose to watch people play games rather than playing or experiencing it themselves, I imagine this is trying to appeal to those people who can have a similar experience. I can see people letting the AI take control on a hard boss or puzzle they can't solve.

Not something I would use, but I know of many who would use it.

More proof younger generation sucks . They would not have survived gaming in the 80s and 90s.

Would have been handy when leveling up my characters and materia on FFVII when I was getting ready to fight Ruby and Emerald weapon.
