The patent US20250372124, titled “Automatic Bespoke Edits of Video Content Using AI,” features inventor Mason Foster and outlines a processor system designed to modify video game content via AI. This innovative tool enables users to customize their gaming experience by muting, skipping, or pausing audio, pixelating or blurring video segments, and generating new audio/video versions that exclude specified content. Users can effectively censor inappropriate elements such as curse words and gore, even allowing for the creation of deepfakes. While appealing for customizable gaming, this feature raises significant ethical concerns regarding the potential alteration of a game’s original intent— transforming a title like Manhunt into a sanitized PEGI 3 experience. Such modifications may distort narrative elements and impact user perceptions, leading to a gaming experience that diverges from the developers’ original vision and could introduce unintended consequences, including hallucinations in altered scenes.
