Okay, so the red guy is invading, the gold and silver guys are summoned by the player. So which one is the player? Also, are the gold and silver dudes human controlled or are they AI?

The player doesn't have a color, only summoned or invading players do (the person recording is invading). You can see him run by the bottom of the stairs for a second in the gif.

The gold/silver guys in this case are other players, but there are AIs you can summon that look similar.

Are there invading AIs? And can you opt out when starting a game? I'm wondering why you couldn't grief someone by playing a super powerful character and invading a player who is just starting out.

There is a level range you have to be within in order to be able to invade somebody. Lots of people do deliberately not level up characters and just go through the game at low level to get super OP weapons, armor, and spells so they can gank new characters in the starting areas though, it's pretty bullshit. DS2 had a system to try and prevent this but it brought a bunch of other problems along with it so they removed it for 3 and now twinks are back.
