Here you can see what it would look like if non-playable characters, NPCs, were given “life” using artificial intelligence.
A modder has enabled NPCs in Fallout New Vegas to engage in conversations with the player using OpenAI’s ChatGPT and an auto-generated voice synthesis. The modder and YouTuber “jedijosh920” mentioned that it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes to generate the NPCs’ dialogue, which currently might be a bit slow for real-time implementation in games.
However, the modder believes that in the future, it will be entirely possible to integrate AI for NPCs in games, potentially enhancing the gaming experience. This is not the first time someone has experimented with making NPCs more lifelike using artificial intelligence.
