How can they patent it? I've seen something very similar more than 20 years ago. AI is a keyword here? Like you can patent everything as long as it's AI?
Yeah, it's especially funny to me, because the word "AI" has been used in gaming to describe the behavior code for NPCs since forever. And in this case, they actually even happen to refer the same thing in the end. At best, it's a different strategy for getting to that same end result.
