No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Imagine a game like “the sims” where you can adjust how autonomous the sims you control are. I could see Ai being used to control that.

Or having an elder scroll game were you just respond however you want and the npc adapts to it.

Have you ever tried to run an LLM locally? It makes CPU usage go way up, uses a lot of RAM, etc. It would tank game performance and/or require beefier PCs.

Games already have had AI for a long time, but the kind of AI you're talking about would be far more computationally expensive than what they currently use.

There are asbolutely "lite" local systems that could do things like make particular NPC behavior in certain environments far more interesting and unpredictable, without harming performance, which is what everyone I've ever played games with would want over the same scripted paths and triggered behaviors.

I don't think OP is asking for AI implementation that gives you an alternate path into the enemy base by romancing one of the guards and having a life together before you steal their keys off the dresser one morning and then then break into the facility as they send you child-support notices. We're talking about maybe enemies have more options than crouching behind a red barrel or resuming their patrol when the shooting stops.
