>>6338024>using games to predict the future??>THE NPCs WANT TO HELPI recommend anons read this (fairly long) article about AI game design (lol UBI FP share price)
Imagine the consequences of this in society lol
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/features/the-future-of-gaming-or-just-a-tool-hands-on-with-teammates-ubisofts-ambitious-voice-ai-tech-demo/The article describes how Ubisoft developed a game demo, with voice integrated AI NPCs that essentially direct and orchestrate human behaviour (as opposed to merely following commands like "shoot here, take cover behind red car" etc.
Basically they see the AI as a voice menu interface, which will direct your MISSION GOALS
At that stage, who is the npc lol, are you playing the game, or is the game playing you?
(Imagine the worst and most frustrating npc pathfinding escort mission in a videogame. Now add in voice command LLM AI lol)
Apparently the way the AI works is they create a dnd style rpg "character sheet" with beliefs, drives goals (Burning Wheel rpg lol?) and this acts as the text system prompt for the LLM, with guardrails urgh
There is also this section below. Having removed sex from videogames, they also now intend to remove comedy:
>"One of the other plans, Manzanares told me, is that rather than preventing the player from saying something toxic, the aim is to provide an experience where it’s not actually fun or worthwhile to do it.">"After all – and I should stress that this is my analogy, not his – every game with a creative element inevitably invites the temptation to create something penis-shaped before this novelty quickly wears off and the player actually uses the software in more fulfilling ways.">“So the funny out-of-bounds stuff starts to be reduced, because you don’t have a game design system giving you points for that. So it’s a smarter way than saying ‘ewwww, no’. We have the ‘no’, but we believe that first we want to bring them back to ‘this is not giving you any XP points’.”Apparently, the future of videogames is you can no longer be bothered to read / skip the lore, mission briefing notes books / background setting info in the game, so you ask an AI voice assistant to summarise it for you lol
