Sony's new patent can automatically spot, censor, or even replace problematic content in real time, turning mature scenes into kid-friendly experience

After AI has 'fixed the problematic content' in Saving Private Ryan, Return of the King, Braveheart etc.

And this will be the only version available to buy by the way.
 
Isn't that the whole point of this patent?

Oh, and I'll repeat once again...... Companies make patents all the time to protect ideas, it does not mean these ideas will ever get made. In fact, we've seen loads of FUD threads about Sony patents for years and very few ever come to fruition but people like to dump on Sony I guess.
Why does this need a patent at all? I don't want a console to interfere with what I am doing. The console just needs to play the fucking game and fuck off otherwise.

Sony registers tons of patents every year for tons of different things and very few ever get applied to anything.
It's just a patent, and even if it is implemented it's only to chosen profiles, I don't understand why people are crying WAHHH CENSORSHIP over this.

Sony as a platform holder could make developers censor games in any way Sony wanted, there would be no need to patent this if their goal was just to censor games.

Because they could create single content for 18+ and then use AI to make that content suitable for younger ages. It would be your choice to turn that on or off or it would be based on your date of birth for the logged in account.

It needs a patent because the idea is a good one in theory so they want to protect that idea.

"Insert deepfake replacement content."

And here I thought that term was homebrew. That is quite unsettling, to see it used seriously and officially.

AI shitshow.
 
What do you have in mind?

I'm hoping for a kind of semi crash which causes a hardware regression in some ways. This DDR situation will help to be honest but prices need to go back to being a low barrier to entry with lower specs imo forcing Devs to do a better job getting games to run well.

There would be a kind of crash but really developers that love games would find ways to deliver awesome games for budgets of like 5 to 10 million and then let them steadily increase again.(Expedition 33 style)

So Games only need a few million to be successful, we who love games get to play awesome games not ruined all the slop.

There's probably no chance and we will be all forced to stream games.......
