I can't stand the negativity of some members here. Poly and Sony try something and all these members want is minimising the project. We all know how bad the AI is in GT. Can we just enjoy this announcement even if it won't make to GT7 day one.
 
This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Polyphony Digital and Sony AI Announce “Breakthrough” Project Collaboration

An intriguing message has landed on social media from the official Gran Turismo account and the account of Sony AI teasing what’s referred to as a “Gaming Flagship” and “breakthrough project” in AI. The companies, both subsidiary arms of the wider Sony brand, jointly revealed that they’re set to announce the project at 1600 UTC on Wednesday February 9...
Skynet beep beep beep... one step closer....
 
So, as far as I understand, it’s fast but dumb. Nothing to be the least bit excited about in other words, as expected.
 
What I would have like to have seen in that video was a ride along with one of the human players for a lap and seen how the AI was interacting with it.

Having the AI doing a time trail lap faster than a human not the big challenge, but how the AI would deal with traffic & what it does when it's challenged from behind.
 
What am I denying?
You're saying it won't come out on GT7 and you've been proven wrong.
You're saying that most likely it won't be standard implanted in the game and you've been proven wrong.
You practically read Vspectra's posts and realize that by now you are closing your eyes on GT for everything.
happy you...

Yep, maybe that is the problem, doing something that makes one thing to complain about go away :)

No I haven't. It says "We want to". Not "we will".

How have I? Where is the factual information that it will be added as a regular AI to race against? If I've missed that I genuinely want to see it.

What? Vspectra made a guess based on what them being your "friend" in races means. He doesn't know anything for certain nor did he claim to.
 
This AI seems very good for sure, especially when we're talking about an AI for a GT game, but if this AI, at best, can only be selected as a particular option for an arcade race and won't be present throughout the campaign, then consider myself extremely disappointed.

Solution is simple: Add an option to put this AI in every single race and also an option to use standing starts instead of rolling starts, then I will praise PD for a good decision. So far, none of their decisions seem to be making any sense, though I will praise their effort for creating this AI.
 
That is what they are trying to teach it, how to race,
Yep, as other teams have done in the past, in most cases the implementation into a commercial product is the tricky bit, as an AI that takes the perfect action every time isn't actually that entertaining. Adding in that 'human fallibility then often breaks it.
and tbf a huge majority of GT players, don`t understand racecraft either
Indeed, but that's not a valid reason for the AI to not have it.

LOL again? Nothing is clear for you xD

This was you just 2 days ago.

This will be available in a future GT7 update. Hopefully it's customisable!
Nobody has outright said that. He said he wants to add it to GT7, but clearly at this stage it's hasn't actually been done, so there is no guarantee of anything. It's a plan.

Kaz has said many things he wants to add to GT, they never all made it or if they did it was years later.

Call me a pessimist if you want, but it just avoids disappointment IMO, rather than just expecting something nobody has promised.

Like I said, this looks very promising. I'm over the moon that we've finally seen signs of a huge step forward in AI, but clearly it's not ready for full usage just yet, nor has PD said it is. There is still a lot of work to go.
