Comment on Unreal Engine 6 is all about Generative AI, Fortnite and the Verse

No, not at all. I was referring to t LLM’s as ‘basic’ applications of AI.
And I’m not talking about having ChatGPT write your dialogue, but more subtle applications like having your player enter their own questions or responses, running the input through a language model and then selecting the most appropriate (pre-defined) response.
In other words, creating the illusion of a more authentic interaction even though you are still railroading the player.

To be fair, you don’t need an LLM for that. The earliest text-based RPGs operated on free text input from the player, which would trigger actions based on keywords. (e.g., “go north”, “pick up lantern”, etc.")
You could do the same thing with dialogue. It’s just a bunch of work and kinda clunky, but so is talking to a chatbot.
