According to the patent material, this AI learns the player's operation and will continue the game instead, such as when the player releases the controller without pausing. They will also play for you when you find a place you can't break through, or refer to an online guide to learn how to break through. The patent also includes a function to distinguish the part played by AI, and it seems that it is assumed that the player himself will redo the part cleared by AI later.

PC Gamer, a monthly magazine specializing in PC games, said about the technology: 'Some people may imagine a nightmare where their AI version starts playing against other AIs, while eating, toileting, etc. You'll also be able to continue playing multiplayer games when you have to take a break for work. '

ExtremeTech, an IT news blog, said, 'This feature may help players who need help due to accessibility issues. AI when 90% of the game can be played but the remaining 10% cannot. If you take the place, you can enjoy the whole game. If the game is art, it's best for everyone to experience it. '

In addition to this AI technology, Sony has also obtained patents for 'PlayStation Assist,' a voice assistant equipped with AI, and a chatbot that allows you to talk with gamers like Cortana.
