For some, it is a boon.
An entertainment platform or website that knows what you want and when you want it. For others, it may feel a bit invasive, taking the fun out of scrolling and coming across something new.
Either way, the reality is that artificial intelligence, or AI, is now everywhere, and online, it is shaping entertainment from games to music. How does this improve things for the average gamer or avid YouTube music fan? Read on to find out!
Games That Learn With You
Games used to come in three levels- easy, medium, and hard. Now, thanks to the integration of AI into most online gaming platforms, such as Online Casino Canada, the games that you play online are able to spot with greater ease any issues you may be having and simplify the level until you acquire the skills needed to pass. This reduces player drop-out and will ensure that you stay engaged with the game, getting that sense of satisfaction from passing a level or a quest.
Personalised Feeds
The algorithms on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are changing daily, to highlight to the users of those platforms the videos and shorts that they will be the most likely to engage with.
Much like the online games that learn with the players, the algorithm and these platforms are also able to make sure that if you liked three dog videos in a row, or you are a fan of Mr Ballen, you will continue to see this kind of content. This ensures that you are more likely to engage with the platform and offer up your support for your favourite YouTube creator.
Mood Detection
If you want to feel relaxed, you listen to Enya. If you want to feel pumped, you listen to Guns N’ Roses. You get the idea! On YouTube, there has been the option for some time to listen to your favourite songs, as well as curated playlists. Now, there is the option to listen to songs that match your mood, or to change your mood. AI on this platform is now better able to predict your mood based on the time of day and the content you are engaging with, helping to curate your experience on the platform and helping you to feel better. As before, it can even use time zones to spot the time of day, and help you to wind up or wind down.
Don’t Overdo It!
If you are like most people, you can get swept up in binge-watching your favourite YouTuber or playing online games for hours on end. Thanks to the integration of AI on most platforms, there are now alerts that stop you from spending hours and hours engaging in one thing. This helps you to break down the day and prevents the dreaded doom scrolling. In the same vein, online gaming and gambling platforms now also have this function built in, with AI systems timing how long you spend on each game or activity, to make sure you don’t spend an entire day on a game of poker, preventing massive losses and emotional dysregulation.
