We all played with the new toy and found it terribly flawed and boring.
That, plus I don't need Bing to pretend to be a person and give me an organic answer loaded with hallucinations. We all know how to google stuff and parse the raw results.

It’s definitely not dead. Yes, the hype is waning, but we will start to see this technology get used more and more in the coming years.
For example, video game NPCs will likely get a lot more interesting.
There is the Gartner Hype Curve. We just left the Peak of Inflated Expectations, and going down to the Trough of Disillusionment. It happens with most new technologies.
Hey cool, never seen that before. Thanks!
I actually don’t think this is a good use for NPCs. There’s tons of videos of people just getting them to say the craziest stuff and I don’t think it adds anything to the game.
It remains far better to have a writer carefully constructing the world and the dialogue
I would disagree, you would be right if the person was claiming all NPCs will be driven with AI but imagine something like a skyrim guard or something will give you more topics to talk about then just a grunt or "I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow to the knee" or "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?". Can give npcs a new life and possibly make them more "reactive" to the events in the game.
You’re right and I have been considering this from the other commenter. It could be pretty interesting.
The only other consideration I’d have as a hobby developer is that it would be pretty expensive for a minor gain, but perhaps major studios wouldn’t have a problem with that
I think it can be a mix of both. Give the NPC specific pieces of knowledge it must deliver, but let the AI improvise dialogues. Don’t just have every guard in the world say, “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee” over and over.
This is like those "Threads volume down 80%" articles. There was nowhere to go but down in the short term. But there are truckloads of engineers working on the next big thing in AI, it will come.
Nowhere close. The massive companies with massive models are losing steam due to the cost needed to run them, but the freedom in the open source world is growing in leaps and bounds based on models on can run on consumer gpus
I have GPT plus and couldn't be happier. Whether you're interested in AI greatly depends on what you need it for.
