It is still absolutely insane to me that people have conversations with these LLMs.
I will never understand
I mean I've faked one or two conversations because I always thought chatbots where cute toys as a dev.
Treating it like a humie is a no go.
I don't understand either. Part of it is because I grew up playing games so the fascade of intelligenc and self awareness fell apart for me quickly.
You'd think newer generations would be less fooled by it, but maybe it is due to a shift from story driven games to more live service sandboxes that led to less encounters with NPCs and their scripted conversations.
I do think really light, local LLM’s are the future of NPC interaction.
Not for main story missions, but for random encounters they could add a nice layer of immersion.
Wait till ppl casually mentioning their romantic AI partner during daily conversation. Based on how reliant younger generation is in the chatbots, I can see it becoming norm in a few decades or shorter.
Yes I'm aware of such articles exist. I'm talking about the future which that becomes normal and hearing about it from your circle.
