Apologies we didn't come after this one a bit sooner, but Intel made this announcement during🧸 the boring section of GDC 2021's online showcase and nobody was really paying attention. It took to point out how several aspects of this new software to get us to take a second look. And oh boy, is it ever wild.
Intel Bleep is an AI-powered software that will n🥂ot only remove toxic voice chat on the fly, but it'll also let the user decide how♒ much of that toxicity they want to be filtered out. And yes, there's even a specific toggle for the N-word.
We're not even going to go into how this software could be incredibly useful. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:That's just a given 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:at this point. Bleep wasn’t exactly shown in action, but we’re told that t🌄he name comes from the classic censor sound whenever the AI detects✅ a bad word.
Bleep can be toggled on or off, depending on if you're feeling risky or not I guess, but then you can also go i𒈔nto certain categories of hate speech to tell the AI how you'd like some random kid in Fortnite to insult you.
"Aggression" is for "negative language in𓄧tended to wound the recipient," and then "LGBTQ+ Hate" covers "hateful speech about people with different sexual orientations or gender identification." Then there's "misogyny," "racism/xenophobia," "sexually explicit language," "swearing," or good old-fashio💙ned "name-calling." Oh, and don’t forget “white nationalism,” always fun to hear that one in a friendly pick-up game.
For each of these categories, you can choose wh💯ether you want to receive "none," "some," "most," or "al💫l" of whatever the internet has to offer.
And apparently, the profanity filte༒r can be pretty sensitive. Speaking to Polygon, Intel's gaming s🐬olutions general manager Kim Pallister said that the word "fudge" would get bleeped if the slider if the "swearing" dial is set to maximum.
Intel recognizes that certain words aren’t necessarily hate-speech in certain contexts, so if you happen to use the N-word casually with your frieꩲnds, you can toggle that👍 specific word on or off. There doesn’t appear to be an “advanced” setting that lets you also toggle other specific words, but Bleep is still in beta, so maybe it’ll get added before the official release later this year.
Bleep ♉is so far only compatible with Windows audio, so you won’t havꦇe to worry about an N-word toggle on the PS5 just yet.
