The patent called “STATE MANAGEMENT FOR VIDEO GAME HELP SESSIONS” describes multiple examples where a pop-up might ask a player to let a helper take over the gameplay for a while.
Imagine if a user were struggling to find a rare gem in an RPG; if allowed, the helper would take control from the player. They would proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem.
Tbh I wouldn’t mind this, I hate boss fights in games, I would definitely let the AI do those, and switch back to me for the stuff I enjoy :D
Edit: Though as another commenter said below, a skip button would achieve the same, no need for an LLM if that’s what they mean by “AI”.
