Player Features and Ideas Discussion

i dont know much about AI or third party tools or the democratization of AI. But i'll dare ask anyway: would it make sense for ccp to release some sort of software platform to support the rise of AI third party tools for eve? would it accelerate the development of things? or are the software platforms like googles tensorflow enough for third party developers of eve to create something for us?

would be cool to get some kind of updates on the progress of AI in eve, im only asking because i read about progress of AI everyday on the news and its almost strange to not see any third party apps being adopted or developed.

it would be nice if ccp can put AI news on the weekly's so nerds like me can read about it and maybe try out the new tools when they come out, weekly AI news such as new speech recognition functionalities added, new prototypes, new projects etc.

please correct me if im wrong about my assumptions

i saw somebody twitch streaming a third party AI tool about 1-2 years ago, if i remember correctly he was saying stuff like "lock on target" and "warp" etc.

speech recognition has gone through some revolutionary transformation in recent years due to "neural nets" (atleast i think thats what i heard somebody say at google's developer conference). but i think "machine vision" in general probably has bigger potential for eve, i could be wrong

the advancements in AI are so fast that regulators havent had enough time to react to it, im cautiously optimistic that within a few years it will be normal for powerful AI in games, i mean look at what they are doing with starcraft, the journey has already begun

didnt ccp just recently announce they started creating smarter npc's and more advanced ai?

what makes you think ccp doesnt have interest in ai when the rest of the world is all-in on it, you have made some strong statements about it, you seem so sure of it

Thank you for the info, its appreciated. well at this point im just speculating and nerding out about the subject of ai, i dont really have anything of value to add to the topic.

i'll make a little prediction about the adoption of ai. if what i've heard from you guys is correct, then ccp's next move might be to take things slow with AI and maybe do something with it in a few years after others have pioneered AI in games like starcraft, once the regulatory rules are set and others game developers have started to make things, then ccp might create a new game from the ground up with some powerful ai in it, alternatively if they want to be more bold put powerful ai NPC's into the main game (even more powerful than what they are planning now).

You tell me if my prediction is totally off.

in the case of speech recognition I guess deep down what everyones wish is that "it just works", I mean if you want to warp you can just say "warp", simple natural language, just like in the movies.

thank you for enlightening me on the subject, i do appreciate it even if things were implied about me as an individual for some reason inbetween the lines. but i do think you bring up a good point about running 30 accounts, i would have loved to discuss that further but i guess its just you and me here for now, live to fight another day

if that software still exists, you can probably find voice recognition software on eve forums, they have a special section dedicated to third party tools. I do hope they have updated its accuracy at picking up voice commands, cuz in real life they have pretty much nailed it and you can speak pretty naturally

"hey google, warp, and then kill that dude in the cheapest frigate you can find on my overview"

Not really.

There are already NLP models that know how to identify verbs (warp, kill) and qualifiers (cheapest, frigate) in text. Connecting these things to in-game actions is the only Eve-specific thing that needs to be done.
