Jesus this is sad and going to ruin gaming because now pandoras out of the box. Next step is a mouse that gets this info from the screen and adjusts and sends the proper mouse info to basically aimbot.

No longer does your eye tracking or awarness matter.

Sad times for gamers especially those who just want a fair playing field

 

[Dorfdad]

League could just lable the screen as cheating hardware and ban anybody that has it.

No way they could know online. You can spoof ids easily.

 

[Ribi]

It's just info that's already there from the radar. It's for people with no awareness

 

[Pejo]

But can it see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Duh, there's swirls of cinnamon sugar on each bite. Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the Taste You Can See®

cheating... in a Moba.... never have i heard such an audacious claim

Video of this monitor

 

[Imtjnotu]

Instead of fixing the pc stutters, you can just cheat right through them

 

[StereoVsn]

It should also talk shit to you. "Enemy coming from the upper left NOOB, how come you didnt see it? You suck."

Next step is built in voice/attitude of HK-47. “Aim to the right, meatbag”.

If you didnt click the article, here's an example of what the monitor can do for League of Legends players. Wow, imagine if thing works for shooters.


At CES 2024, AI is everywhere, including inside monitors. At its demo suite, MSI showed off the upcoming MEG 321URX QD-OLED display. The monitor has an onboard AI accelerator that, among other things, will detect enemies in League of Legends and put an icon on the screen to show you where they are coming from.

I don't know enough about League of Legends to say whether this officially breaks the rules. But the feature, which MSI calls SkySight, does give the user an advantage that not everyone has, and it's completely undetectable because the AI processing and image generation is happening on the monitor's own hardware, independent of the computer's OS and software.

According to MSI, SkySight works by analyzing the on-screen mini-map to see where enemies are coming from, which is something you can do with your own eyes. But having an AI assistant that watches the map for you and then puts an icon on the screen to show where the threats are coming from is probably a huge help.

The MEG 321URX's AI also tracks your health status in League of Legends, lighting up an RGB LED light bar (called the Spectrum Bar) at the bottom of the bezel to match your in-game health bar. In a demo we saw, the bar was part green and part yellow, which looks exactly like the graphical line on the screen.

 

[drotahorror]

Sounds more like a crutch than a cheat. Gonna be interesting though, these next few years.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Because all the mofos will buy it like there's no tomorrow. It will be interesting though ... to beat AI, you will need an AI of your own; meant future multiplayer games will be proxy wars between AI. They will learn and become ever more sophisticated against each other.

Begun, the AI wars have.

 

[Sentenza]

"Finally".

The video I shared above shows it in action

The response to this should be getting your product blacklisted and blocked entirely from the console/platform itself. FAFO.

So far these platforms don't even care about actual cheating devices, they sure wont even think about this monitor

Time for a fighting game renaissance. Shooters are just a rat race these days.

This sounds similar to overlays that are super common with MMOs, just baked into the monitor itself.

 

[Phase]

With more and more stuff like this coming out I don't think I'll ever want to jump back into mp fps.

I hope this makes local multiplayer a thing again, like the good old times.

nkarafo Interesting thought. It could very well make a comeback in the future as more become fed up with cheating.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

I want fun, not a bunch of sweaters

Unfortunately you're right. We've seen unofficial 3rd party controllers get soft-blocked but that had nothing to do with security or ensuring the user experience wasn't impacted.

 

[amigastar]

I never understood the mentality of a cheater. I mean what's the point in deceiving people only to get fake fame? I don't understand it.

 

[Hudo]

Your move, Denuvo.

 

[mayham2199]

At a certain point games will have to be built around cheating. Let everyone see through walls, give everyone autoaim, etc.

This is old news. PC folks been doing this on BF2042 cross play for a while now. Maybe it’s only now being reported on, but this has been happening in game for a bit now.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Back when we played CS with CRTs we would kick anyone who could headshot you two or three times in a row because they were using LCD monitors with higher resolutions, damn'em cheaters. History repeats itself.

With AI incorporated in the monitor?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

I'm not really concerned, people are going nuts over "AI" as if a magic robot is taking care of shit for them. In reality it's a monitor that has extra hardware and performs calculations on pixel patterns, trained on specific data. What happens if LoL changes its user interface or has any kind of big update? What about other games? There needs to be a lot of maintenance to ensure any of this continues to work as promised.

Everyone thinks this "AI revolution" is going to be Skynet or something out of an Asimov book, when it's really going to be spellcheck and this fucker.

 

[FutureMD]

If you have better hardware, you'll be at an advantage, hence the existence of 300Hz+ monitors. If this is really useful, then either other monitor manufacturers will also implement similar features to capture the market or people can just purchase this one for the added advantage.

 

[rocketleague]

"league of legends" yeah nothing of value lost

 

[Ozriel]

Blocking stuff like this is pointless anyway. Only a matter of time before they start building this into AR glasses so it’ll highlight anything you’re looking at.
Itll work for console games then, too.

Did I just give Nreal et al some crazy business idea they could make bank with?

Then someone spends an afternoon to train on the new interface, shares it to everyone else and you’re back in business with zero personal ‘maintenance’.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Since this thing can show enemy locations once they are spotted on the mini map imagine that working in say COD, will that be like a built in wall hack?

In CoD, enemies outside of visual detection still show up on the mini map?

There can be a UAV up that shows most of the enemy team on the mini map, wonder if this monitor can pick up on that

Rentahamster.

Yes they can. An enemy will show up if they shoot their gun as a red dot on the mini map... unless they attach a suppressor to their gun.

Other shit can highlight you too like UAV Heisenberg said..... unless you got a perk that counters it. There's also more advanced UAVs like some COD games have Blackbird with even shows what direction you are facing. So instead of a red dot, enemies are shown as a red arrow thing which points to the direction he's facing.

Never the less, it'll be interesting to see how the monitor implements it into shooters. Maybe the monitor is smart enough to show an enemy as its own MSI red marker on the map or at least which direction he's at even if the guy is using as many anti-detection attachments and perks as possible.

Or maybe the monitor relies on visual detection. But a human panning the camera will only notice so many enemies. But the monitor can even detect a single pixel of an enemy hiding behind a crate half way across the map and it'll still light him up.

Not gonna lie I will have one of these new monitors before this one launches but if it does come out with this extra AI I will 100% get it in my house and see how it works for science

With how many people run cheats on PC and extra devices on console like Cronus I don't mind seeing how an extra health bar will work in certain games

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I need TV makers to add this feature to their 65" models!

Hey you never know. I got a new replacement TV last year as Costco comped me a substitute since the repair place couldnt fix it and it's decent enough so I wont be buying a new TV anytime soon unless it breaks. So maybe in 5-6 years when its time for me to buy a new TV, the OLEDs then will have built in AI features!

 

[Jinzo Prime]

It will work on consoles too, it's HDMI.

 

[simpatico]

The next few years are going to be very weird until we figure AI out in our lives. Or maybe we never do and we all die.

I'm already using that mofo a lot at work. Loving it and following intently.

There is something cool about this monitor. I'm thinking of a game or a genre where it's a bit of a hardware arms race along with the software skills. Very cyberpunk. We will figure it out guys. We always do. It's gonna be cool.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

“They just train it.” Assuming the model itself doesn’t need to be updated.

Good thing we’ve mastered the art of downloading updates from the Internet, eh?

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Ruining online multiplayer kind of delights me as a single-player (or local multiplayer) gamer who strongly believes that the biggest setback in the history of gaming has been the move to inherently online multiplayer service games.

Any tech that destroys those services from the inside out is hard to hate.

 

[MaskedSwan]

TBH, it's not a massive deal for League as someone who's been around the game for well over ten years, but it is worrying what else they might do with this sort of technology in the future.

 

[Kaleinc]

What's the AI part?

New buzzword for housewives. Type some mysterious letters in address bar of AI browser and AI will bring moving pictures to ur living room, and sound too.

 

[//DEVIL//]

ffs. when a company promote cheats as an advantage so they can sell their shit .


Hope Devs start hardware ban soon. ban an account in a free game is useless.
