I was searching the dev-forum about “smart AI npc” topics and this seemed like the most relevant.
I’m personally dreaming about being able to integrate smart AI models
into my “future” games.
Things worth mentioning:
A group of devs created a Skyrim mod. called “Art from the machine”
and they were to able utilize the power of ChatGPT and make
it “puppeteer” the in-game characters and succeeded very well in this.
Characters have unique conversations with players and the characters even
remember past conversations etc. Very promising.
Might become a game industry standard.
