I think any game that doesn't utilise ChatGPT or another comparable LLM for conversational NPC's, is literally not even going to be noticed. We all know ChatGPT is not perfect, but it's orders of magnitude better than any current in-game NPC. Imagine having a conversation with a shop owner and being able to sweet talk him into selling you gear at a better price, or flirting with the princess, bribing the royal guard to get some of the kings best men as bodyguards for your adventure. I mean there's literally endless possibilities for this, it needs to be done.

Chat GPT + Voice Synth will not only allow for the story lines to be written but for the voice work to be done.

I was really disappointed listening to Tod Howard and how Bethesda felt that someone realizing part way through a play though that they really wanted to play a different character, and treated starting over as having failed the player. I mean with that sort of attitude no wonder the games have been getting blander and blander.

Now think of a different future where all the interlocking storylines is all worked out ahead of time by a LLM. Where having everything be based on your current skills and previous actions 'behind the scenes'

so instead of blending things to a grey mush to 'disappoint' no one, instead you can have vibrant different adventures through the same land each time you play.

Yeah totally. I kinda see every future game being a kind of choose your own adventure game where LLM's handle the heavy lifting of changes in the story based on player actions. It's going to be a wild ride
