Comment on Ubisoft revealed an AI NPC prototype at GDC and everyone online made fun of it

“Have you ever dreamed of having a real conversation with an NPC in a video game?”, asks Ubi’s official post about it. And what all people who make this fail to understand that the answer most normal people give if they think about it is “Erm, probably no, actually?”

So, you have to type random questions and the AI gives random answers like any other chatbots?

That seems incredibly pointless because the NPC will just make up responses that may or not be accurate in the game world.

Like, ask it how to complete a mission or for advice, and it might give random shit that doesn’t work in the game.

A limited amount of pre written interactions would at least all be relevant to the game.

It seems like they just want to avoid paying writers to fill their empty open world games.
