If you use ai as an additive technology rather a replacement to things then really cool, ethical oppurtinitites open up for its use.

Rather than training a voice actor for a small handful of npcs that say the same four lines ad infinitum,pay them the same amount to License their voice, train a model, and use that for the game. Pair this with an LLM and suddenly you have pcs capable of saying all kinds of hillarious shit.

Have the coders that always write box behaviour to write the behaviour of npcs. The give players the option to talk them into doing some weird LLM powered shit.

Like. You can use ai to add things to games. It doesn't have to replace people's

I think a part of why people hate it is that idiots are trying to use it to replace things people do.

Where it's best is when it does things people can't

When you create a character with one of those models you are creating that character with intent and purpose. What it thinks, talks, etc etc. it’s not easy to do that. The writing is still there.

In fact you’d take quotes you want the npc to say so that it understands how it uses language. The difference is that you might get a sentence constructed slightly differently.
