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.
On the scale of how large games are, a couple gigs for a decent LLM don't really match up to the cost of high-resolution images, music, and 3d models... at least, not if you expect it to be able to run in real time for the average user who doesn't have a super high-powered PC.
It would probably work best for something always-online with a subscription fee that can help cover the ongoing costs of tokens. MMO-style, host your own models and serve them to the player, so you're not bottlenecked by their computer's power
