What was once a throwaway April Fools' joke is now a proper tech demo.
However, G-Assist is more than just a futuristic game guide.
These are minor conveniences, but they’re conveniences nonetheless.
NVIDIA
It also supports both local and cloud processing.
NVIDIA isn’t the only company that’s toying with the idea of a context-aware in-game assistant.
(In any case, neither of these things are real products.)
It’s neat to see how NVIDIA is retooling a seven-year-oldApril Fools' prank.
However, I should note that the old G-Assist concept wasn’t a chatbot.
This original concept has been abandoned for obvious reasons.
Also, I find it interesting that NVIDIA’s tech demo uses a male text-to-speech voice.
Nearly every AI model announced in 2024 uses a female voice (or is demoed with one).
Project G-Assist is just a tech demo.
