When ChatGPT first dropped I was saying that one of the best uses of this technology would be in NPC dialogue/ control.
Imagine a game with NPCs who could actually dynamically respond in character.
Of course, if you're still using a paid model to achieve this effect as a developer you're playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess, but still.
There’s a few of these out already and they’re generally pretty neat, but basically all tech demo type stuff. It’s difficult to design a real game around “promp user to talk to a chatbot and hope they have fun” all you can really do is theme it well and add setdressing and hope the gimmick carries enough to make it worth the money. All of them are basically just “roleplay improv but you aren’t talking to a real person”
Having a real rpg game where you connect an AI to each npc is still simply too much to ask for, until we are at the point where every players computer can run the AI model locally. Even then it’s still overkill. Will probably happen one day though
