"it's a convenient way for them to-" insert: exploit all culture, our past and present artists, writers, musicians, etc. . . The offense is utterly incomprehensible. Its like the billion dollar relativity thingy, where you just can't get over the relative size of the comparison to $100,000. The amount of data stolen from past and current IP is too much for the layman to ever consider. It's the heist of the epoch.

AI generated visuals and music are one thing, but one use of AI in that category is giving NPCs actually interesting things to say.

Currently, without AI, they have one or two lines about the weather, or the general state of affairs, but if you can pass an LLM the current state of the world and the player's recent actions, then run the output through a tts model tuned to a distinct voice to, you'd be making the world feel way deeper than it is now with much more insightful interactions. You could maybe go even further and add infinite mini-quests in a similar manner, but it's better to start off small.

AI doesn't have to replace, and the best studios will use it to enhance and add to their art, the average ones will avoid it, and the worst ones will use it to replace art.
