If you've ever wanted AI-generated Kratos to advertise games to you (for some reason), I've got great news about Sony's latest baffling patent: 'LLM-based generative podcasts for gamers'

Sony's on it again with another bizarre AI patent I'm not sure anybody rightly wants. Back in January, the company put forward a patent for a "ghost", which could play videogames for you if you were getting stuck.

This idea sucks, don't get me wrong—but it at least makes a certain kind of sense. If you're an executive that's never played a videogame before, you might think that the largest obstacle between your consumer and a bigger library is difficulty. The reality is that when I get a game I usually want to play it, but whatever.
