Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic.

  I'd love to see it being used by enemies so they're challenging without cheating, though.

  This is a different sort of problem that's outside the scope of generative AI. Making a computer opponent that can kick a human player's ass is technology we've had since Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov in 1997.

  The problem isn't actually making a computer that's challenging, that's been solved. The problem is that it won't be any fun for the human if the computer is actually allowed to go all out, if Kasparov couldn't win in 97 then you sure as hell aren't winning today. But it also won't be any fun if you nerf it too badly, low level chess bots are weird. The sweet spot isn't just a matter of difficulty either, the nearly unsolveable part is getting it to play in a way that feels like a realistic human opponent.

  And that's just from a turn-based game, kinda the closest thing to a level playing field humans were ever gonna get. For any game played in real time, the computer is able to treat it like it's being played at 60 turns per second. Is it "cheating" for the computer to have perfect reflexes, but otherwise still be following the rules of the game perfectly? How would you even try to take this away from the computer to make it see games the way humans do?

  Generative AI doesn't have any kind of solution for any of this. ChatGPT famously can't play chess, at all. It's a different type of AI that really can't have any useful application here.

  Like those teddy bears taken off the shelves. Ai is not nearly as good as the marketing hype says. Eventually, but that isn’t happening soon.

    The curiosity is killing me, do you remember what the highly upvoted comment you replied to said?

      Someone put a connection to an LLM on a Teddy Bear so kids could have natural conversations with the toy. It started making sexual innuendos and creepy political commentaries and suggestions to children almost right away.
