    what I want with AI games: Free conversations with NPCs who react to your actions.

    what I don’t want, endless slop

      what is the appeal of talking to an NPC that uses chatgpt to respond? you would get the same experience talking to a cat or a houseplant

        instead of writing pages of dialogue, write a lot of back story, personality, interests, knowledge, info they have, quests they have to share, sample of how they talk…

        fine tune models… this way each character would sound unique, rather than standard chat gpt.

        a good prototype would be about a village with about a dozen of NPCs.

            I feel you, but imagine if a game dev trained their own LLM exclusively on their own content. Only their own dialogue and lore. Could be fascinating then. Not something I wanna see a lot of work out into at the expense of other things, but could be interesting.

            And to reiterate, I genuinely mean only trained on data the studio has a copyright on already.

            another use, draw assets for a age of empires like game. then generate a diffusion model on them. now you can make rows of houses and non of them will be identical and all will fit in the art style.

            same things with textures, no more repeating textures.

      I don’t know if you have heard about the game AI2U: With You 'Til The End that’s basically a Escape the room game where a Girl kidnapped you and you need to escape. You can talk to the AI girl about any bullshit, interact and show them items in your inventory etc. If you make them upset they will maybe kill you, or they can like you so much that they will help you escape. I had a lot of fun with this game.

      Same, so used as a tool to help textures load better, to make the game function better, great.

      If you pay an actor for their voice, why not ai infinite dialogue? Nobody is losing work because a human literally cannot do that job.

        without that tech they would have hired a voice actor anyways, or what would be better, get a voice actor, create a character, have him voice a shit ton of lines with different emotions, timber, whispers… fine tune a model in that character, that would make every character sound unique and much less robotic.

            not infinite lines, just enough to find tune a model for a specific character.

            also, i mean proper voice actors, the ones that can make countless distinct characters with different voices and accents.

            i don’t mean buying someone’s voice, i mean hiring a voice actor to make up a specific character and have ownership of that character.
