  Well, that was… Profoundly disturbing in a way I haven’t seen since dodging a Reaper on foot in ME3.

  Thing is, I really don’t see how that’d work for any useful scenario. Even in this very limited case natural language processing and response generation is definitely off-loaded to a remote server farm, and isn’t running on the console. TTS for a single characters voice could - but likely isn’t - be done on the hardware, but as I mentioned elsewhere, the voice models for modern text-to-speech synthesis are very, very large. Typically gigabytes of data - per voice. Completely unrealistic for any meaningful game.

  Even if all those trained models existed (they don’t), I doubt any consumer would be amused by a multi-terabyte download.

  Even as it is, the response latency is hilariously bad. I players having to wait seconds for each NPC response would fly as well as a lead brick.

  Interesting point, although I don’t see how you’d manage to run modern TTS (the models can get very large, and that’s per voice; as an example Parler-TTS’s mini model is 800Mb, the HQ model is 2.3Gb - for one voice) + a LLM for content synthesis on any personal hardware, console or not. The storage requirements alone would make that grossly infeasible.

  Does anybody actually want that, ever?
