Chapter 376 The balance between companionship and non-interference
Hou Ji opened the "Ascension" page on the official game platform.
“Are you also a fan of action games? I also like the game "Ascension" very much. Sometimes I also wonder, is everything I see in real life also an illusion? "
Hou Ji opened the page of "The City Abandoned by Gods" again.
"Ah, the city abandoned by the gods. I know Xia Mi, and we are still good friends. But I think she is sometimes too naive, and our views often do not agree."
Hou Ji conveniently opened the page of "Anti-Heaven Cube" again.
“Hey, finally there is a game I can play! Can I play with you?”
Every time a new game page is opened, Arios will give some feedback , in most cases it is an evaluation of the game, and in a small number of cases, it is even proposed to play with the players.
Just like "Heaven Cube".
The game itself allows two-player online play, and it is relatively simple to access the AI. If players are willing, they can really play with Arios.
After playing, Elrios will even have some new dialogues based on the gameplay situation at that time.
Of course, many of Alice's words also make people feel inexplicably thoughtful. For example, when she mentioned "Ascension", she would wonder if her own world was also an illusion.
However, there were not many similar conversations, and judging from the tone and expression of Elios's words, she was just thinking about it casually, and was not really thinking about this issue seriously.
So Hou Ji just regarded these words of Alice as some kind of easter egg and didn't think too much about it.
“In other words, Nitian Game has made some optimizations to this desktop companion. Whenever Nitian Game is mentioned, it will give a unique evaluation?
"But if it's just like this, it's okay."
Hou Ji thought so, and then opened the page of other manufacturers' games on the official platform.
However, what he didn't expect was that Elios also had comments about these games.
"Hey, do you also like to play "Protoss World"? Although I have not played it, I have watched its video and it looks very fun.
"Although many people think it is Not as good as "Shadow World", but I think this is also a very good game.
"If you have a chance, can you take me to play with you?"
""Real Battlefield"? I haven't played this game either because my shooting skills are terrible. I've watched some videos, but it's too Shaking, a little dizzy
“But I don’t understand why the attackers must plant bombs on abandoned planes in this game? There is obviously nothing here except defenders. ”
As Hou Ji expanded the direction of his experiments, he was surprised to find that it was not just games that would make Arios react.
Many operations performed by players on the computer, All will trigger some reactions from Elios
For example, when the player is writing a document or making a PPT, Alice will say: "Are you going to start working? I won't interrupt you now, I'm going to study too."
When the player is listening to music , Elios will make some simple comments on the songs or music, and will even put on headphones to listen to the players together.
When the player is reading a book on the computer, Alice will also interact with the content of the book itself.
For those books she has read, Elios will directly give her own evaluation; for those books she has not read yet, she will throw out an evaluation based on the plot she is currently seeing. Ask questions or raise your own doubts.
Even when the player opens the background task manager, Arios will respond accordingly.
"Ah! Is something broken on your computer?
"It doesn't matter, I believe you can fix it! "...Well, it couldn't be because of my problem, right?
"If it's really because of my problem, then it doesn't matter if you turn me off temporarily, I won't mind. . ”
……
After a brief chat, Hou Ji roughly determined the functions of this desktop companion.
First of all, Arios does not have the ability to communicate directly with players. There is no chat box anywhere that can directly talk to her.
The communication between the two is one-sided.
Alios can only chat based on some specific behaviors of the player. The interaction between the two people is more like the player concentrating on doing something, while Elios sits obediently to the side and praises the player.
Hou Ji was not used to it at first, or most players probably weren’t used to it.
After all, fake-AI is already very mature, and there are many AIs that can freely talk to players.
But after continuing to experience it for a while, Hou Ji felt that this seemed good.
Compared with dialogue, the current mode also has another advantage, that is, it has an inexplicable... implicit beauty?
If the player can keep chatting with the AI, it will soon produce a "disenchantment" effect. With constant attempts, the AI will soon touch the knowledge blind spots of the AI, or gain some not so Clever or disliked answer.
So most people cannot stick to using the AI chat software on the market for too long.
But Elios's AI is different. She requires players to use various behaviors to activate her.
Clicking on the game, playing within the game, browsing the web, listening to music, etc. may trigger Elios' dialogue.
But it is precisely for this reason that the conversations triggered can easily give people a sense of surprise.
It’s like dating and chatting with a girl, and the girl talks about your favorite games. People will be surprised: you actually understand this?
Of course, since everyone already knew in advance that Arios was an AI, the level of surprise was definitely not that high, but compared to other AIs, it still felt like a small surprise.
In addition, the AI Alios has many other advantages.
For example, her modeling is quite exquisite. Her frown, smile, and various micro-expressions when looking at the player all give people a very vivid feeling.
In addition to some regular conversations, she often has some unexpected and shocking words.
For example, when mentioning "Ascension", she would inadvertently speculate whether her own world was also illusory.
Similar situations don't happen often, but when they do happen occasionally, they can still give players a rather startling feeling, and even give people the illusion: "She seems to really have her own consciousness." .
Judging from the current situation, Arios, the desktop companion, strikes a good balance between "accompanying" and "not disturbing".
She is quite interesting. When the player is doing something seriously, she will hide it very cleverly, or read a book by herself, or simply walk out of the screen.
When the player is obviously resting, he will always chat with him in a gentle and lovely manner.
For most players, this relaxed and relaxed rhythm of getting along is very comfortable.
For a small number of players, even if they are not used to this rhythm, they can make simple adjustments in the settings to further speed up or slow down the rhythm.
In short, as a desktop companion, Arios does not have any particularly epoch-making and addictive magic power, but from appearance to function, it is already excellent enough among similar products, and can even be said to stand out from the crowd.
