    i done all the normal dungeons solo for fun
    its just to see wich funny combinations the AI will build
    as an ex programmer i had some funny things coming out of the AI mind
    i dont mean it for practical purpose

That would be awesome. :) That would be the best thing ever. <3 It would also be fantastic for a single-player game. Please give Bastian and co AI! The possibilities are endless. Anyone who doesn't like this kind of thing really has zero imagination. Just imagine how this would improve your game immersion!
    AI is the future. You can hate it or love it but you will have to accept it. Burying your head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist won't change anything.
    I'm looking forward to computer games in the not-too-distant future where this kind of thing becomes a reality. :)

    There’s an alarming amount of real life people CHEATING on their real life spouse with AI (let alone all the people who don’t have a human spouse but instead are solely with an AI). As humans, we’ve already shown we can’t handle human-imitating chat AI. Let alone VA rights, there’s the whole thing about voice actors just being paid for training data and then getting replaced by an AI.

    Sweet christ, as someone who works in IT, that is an absolute hard NO from me.

    It’s absolutely unnecessary.

    AI is the future. You can hate it or love it but you will have to accept it. Burying your head in the sand and pretending it doesn't exist won't change anything.

    I disagree. At the moment it’s being shoved into everything whether it needs it or not, and everyday more research comes out to shows the risks & issues with it, both economically, socially, environmentally and for our brain health.

    Please no.

    I am still hoping for a universal "ignore any AI tool integration pop-ups" button I can push that hides all that nonsense from the Apps I use.

    The game is already filled with actual people to interact with and talk to.

    Ew!

    No AI voice.

    Let’s not steal the jobs and dreams of actors. Many of them don’t do it for money, they do it because they love their job. They love to play and explore different characters. It’s like roleplaying for them and they have a right to live their dreams and make a living out of it. Let’s not take that away from them.

    I'd like to see AI incorporated into companions so they could learn the quirks of our character, act accordingly, get smarter at the game based on what they see traveling with you. Even learn the voice of their actor so they could create new dialogue and even use your character's name in dialogue. The voice bit would probably require some copyright considerations to the voice actor but, going forward, perhaps new companions could use wholly AI created voices and move beyond voice actors.

    Move beyond voice actors? You really think AI is better than actual human voices? Thats a real quick absolutely should never happen. Pay people to do their jobs, dont take it away from them entirely.

    Theres no replacing vo8ce actors if you want actually good content and not endless inbred regurgitation,

    But, machine learning for personalized character experiences would be cool. That's the kind of thing it shoube used for, stuff that would be impossibly complicated to pre record.

    The first one could be that chatterbox skull guy from the psijic quest.

    Oh, Oh I know! Why not have an AI """companion""" that completes quests for you too? Or does the combat so you don't even have to learn how the game works? While we're at it, why not have it make a character for you so you don't have to role play in this role-playing game??

    Seriously, do people even hear themselves? Generative AI in games is bad, and there's a whole host of ethical and legal issues that come with it. Why you'd want to bring soulless bots to a game where people are doing creative rp, having fun beating difficult fights, and socializing with other real people is beyond me.

    Better use AI to make shadow fight mode, in which you will fight ur own character on small map with random objects. And It should learn how you act and develop itself. Would be interesting

    I would prefer to see the companions combat AI improved so there are less "stand in stupid" moments.

    When I put down an AOE and npcs will roll sideways out of it, but companions can't or won't go sideways.

    Companions that can "see" the boss combat zone and not leave it, dragging the boss with them and forcing the boss to reset.

    A way to tell companions (without me having to give the command manually) to save their ultimate for bigger enemies or clusters of enemies and not waste it on 1 enemy that is almost dead anyway.

    I think things like this would be a better use of AI than a chat bot.
