Very few will not want to wear the glasses.

Last night I had a technical conversation with ChatGPT that was so full of wild hallucinations at every step, it left me wondering if the main draw of "AI" is better thought of as entertainment. And whether using it for even just rough discovery actually serves as a black hole for the motivation to get things done.

I'm actually a little shocked that AI hasn't been integrated into games more deeply at this point.

Between whisper and lightweight tuned models, it wouldn't be super hard to have onboard AI models that you can interact with in much more meaningful ways that we have traditionally interacted with NPCs.

When I meet an NPC castle guard, it would be awesome if they had an LLM behind it that was instructed to not allow me to pass unless I mention my Norse heritage or whatever.

I imagine tuning this to remain fun would be a real challenge.

“ if the main draw of "AI" is better thought of as entertainment.”

Crazy is true, but that would somewhat follow most tech advancements right?
