Chapter 376: The balance between companionship and non-intrusion
Chapter 376 The balance between companionship and non-interference
Hou Ji opened the page of "Ascension" 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 God" again.
"Ah, the city forsaken 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’s a game I can play! Can I play it 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 few cases, she will even suggest playing with the player.
Just like "Heaven Cube".
This game itself allows two-player online play, and it is relatively simple to connect to AI. If players are willing, they can really play with Elrios.
After finishing the game, Elrios will even have some new dialogues based on the play situation at that time.
Of course, many of Elios' 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 Alice'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 Alios 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 that’s all it is, it’s okay.”
Hou Ji thought so and casually opened the page of games from other manufacturers 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", I think it 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 have watched some videos, but it was too shaking and I felt a little dizzy.
“But I don’t understand. Why do attackers have to plant bombs on abandoned planes in this game? There is obviously nothing here except defenders.”
As Hou Ji expanded his experimental direction, he was surprised to find that it was not just games that would make Elios react.
Many operations performed by the player on the computer will trigger some reactions in Elrios.
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, Arios will make some simple comments on the song or music, and will even put on headphones to listen with the player.
When the player is reading a book on the computer, Arios 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 ask a question or put forward her own opinions based on the plot she is currently seeing. Confuse.
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's not my problem, right?"
“If it’s really because of my problem, then it’s okay to 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, Elrios does not have the ability to communicate directly with players. There is no chat box anywhere that allows direct dialogue with 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 Alios sits obediently to the side and praises the player.
Houji was quite uncomfortable to adapt to at the beginning, or most players should not be accustomed 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 have a "disenchantment" effect. With constant attempts, the AI will soon touch the AI's knowledge blind spots, or get some answers that are not so smart or they don't like. .
So most people cannot insist on 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. When the girl talks about your favorite games, people will be surprised: you actually know 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, and her every frown and smile, as well as the various micro-expressions when she looks at the player, give people a very lively feeling.
In addition to some regular conversations, she often has some unexpected and shocking remarks.
For example, when mentioning "Ascension", she would inadvertently guess 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 witty and will cleverly hide when the player is doing something serious, 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 in terms of appearance and function, it is already excellent enough among similar products, and can even be said to stand out from the crowd.
