I think AI would be useful for eve as long as it has restrictions, something that i think would be nice is if new bpos and bpcs were released that were special ‘Aura’ ones that you could only use as omega, with a Aura ship interfacing skill necesarry to use the AI ships, like an Aura venture for example, would help you do difficult sites that you wouldnt be able to do alone, but with penalties such as less loot/bounties if asisted by AI, also n banned from being used in ganking. the aura ships should have less hp/ehp then their capsuleer run counterparts, but like them, you must supply the fitting as well as having less efficiency as to combat potential use in botting, as well as only being able to use them while you are logged in, with a 1 minute timer to dock them at the nearest station if you are using them and try to log off to prevent backround isk printing, but more than anything, it should be used to give advice to rookies

yeah, those are only a few of my ideas, i thought of them while taking the FC AI survey, so blame them

No. For the following reasons;

- **This creates a false sense of security** – Giving players a “guided‑AI” rookie capsuleers to rely on the system instead of **learning** the mechanics; navigation, combat tactics, risk assessment.
- **Disrupts the game’s risk‑reward balance** – The game’s pivots on weighing danger against potential profit. This can reduce the satisfaction of “hard‑won” victories and erode the incentive to develop personal skills.
- **Potential for abuse and exploits** – The 1‑minute dock timer is meant to curb background ISK generation, but clever players could still automate rapid “run‑by” site completions and resale of AI‑generated loot. Enforcing the timer across all possible cases (ship jump, capsule launch, etc.) would be technically challenging and could introduce a mess of speggitti code.
- **Divides the player base more than ever** – Introducing a distinct “AI‑only” ship tier may create a two‑track ecosystem: those who play “purely” with their own vessels versus those who lean on Aura ships. This division can fragment fleet composition, market demand, and even in‑game politics, making coordination harder for large corporations. We already have an Alpha/Omega split, we don’t need another.

Currently what we are calling AI isn’t real AI. It is just more code to make a machine appear to be inteligent. Let FC ruin the game at their own pace. I try not to help them in forcing AI into the game. Learn the game, play the game, don’t allow the game to play you.

Soon™ you will see AI-controlled Pilot-Bots, that have a name in local, a corp history, a somewhat realistically fitted ship and imitating a capsuleer in space. It will willingly run into your PvP trap, generate a killmail, drop loot, write “gf” in local - just to fill the huge lack of real targets. And you will never know it was a bot you just killed.

Trust me, thats the future. And we players will enjoy it!

They are going to need about ten more years before AI enters any game. AI can’t seem to get much correct, especially with simple terms in the graphical department. For example; I was going to make an exercise manual ( PDF for work ) and thought “Why not use AI for the graphics?”.

This is the exact text I used to describe the image for a push up stance;

> male on floor in push up pose, both hands flat on floor, legs fully extended, toes on floor, full body visible, bird’s eye view.

Ran off 5 images and I got the following;

 ![Position 001](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/0/a/9/0a99f93fd0367b052a846d3d8b0bd019c825afbc.jpeg)

# This was the best image out of 5, however it fails to show his toes and how the feet should be positioned. Also he seems to have ears on the back of his head? Now here are the other I can show in a work safe environment…

# Transporter Malfuction?

 ![Position 004](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/9/d/d/9dd928d46465556446585cc5a67920419f698b88.jpeg)

# Fingers on feet? What does AI calculate we are out here in the real?

 ![Position 003](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/b/3/5b36180e3edd498f14ffc1727f33f1143777a641.jpeg)

The rest were too graphical, even for a porno shoot. Maybe AI will join us someday in games and we won’t be able to tell them from the real deal, but my guess is 10 years or so. Right now they are like babies learning to walk.

Al or AI… I see what you mean. Font issues, but I would have thought of this AL instead;
