This is such bullshit. AI has only really invaded gaming in the past couple of years, but she makes it sounds like AI (in its current iterations) has been around been around forever.
I think they're using AI as the umbrella term there, rather than referring to LLMs and generative slop. The term has been used to mean many different things over the years, including the decision trees that drive npc movement and action.
Yeah, that's dishonest and malevolent or straight up negligent and ignorant
You think she currently works in the walking programming dept of Microsoft?

Don't misunderstand me- I fucking hate LLMs and generative slop. I'm not commenting on whether the statement was made in good faith (I doubt it was), I'm just pointing out that we've been using the term "AI" as a descriptor of npc behavior for decades and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
