There are so many things such a powerful AI could be used for:

- Better, more believable enemies that think things through
- Better co-op bots that feel like real players
- Play any multiplayer game with no real players so you don't have to deal with trolls and edgy kids
- Let it play single player games and enjoy the show (kinda like an attract/spectator mode)

The last part is the most interesting for me. Are those modern AI models powerful enough to figure out how to play complex single player videogames on their own?

It could, but to function correctly within the scope of designer's intention is a difficult task, the AI could perform weird stuff outside of designer's scope and intention

I think AI is the most exciting area of technology right now, and I think it will revolutionize video games as well, really looking forward to see what they will end up doing with it

probably but publishers would not do that

Yeah but real players tend to do that as well.

It was used in gaming years before ChatGPT was popular.

The problem with using true AI instead of old "static AI" is that it would become flawless fast. It would be impossible for us humans to compete on it's level.

Aí at the beginning will be mostly used to make the game development pipeline cheaper/faster.

We don't really need complex AI to make good multi-player computer agents as most game have well defined rules so any old school rule based or decision tree based agents would suffice.

What AI can really improve is in character writing, making them more spontaneous with a longer set of lines(hopefully all voiced).

Ubisoft games already feel like it was made by some dumb AI

That seems like a project specifically made for an AI.

I'm talking about loading a random game, say Metroid Prime or something, and let the AI play it like it's a real person.

It could still have some limits like a certain hit/miss ratio ceiling. Like the difficulty levels for the bots in Quake 3/Unreal Tournament.

I could only think of replacing bad dialogs like in skyrim.

Sure if you want your co driver in Sega Rally to give you a ridiculously overlong description of the road you're going to drive on for the next five seconds in the voice of Donald Trump. And tell you when it was built. And who did it. And what your grandmother thinks about it. And what type of surface your driving on, and what animals lie dead buried beneath the road. Everything attached to a generic disclaimer monologue so you can't sue it in case it did tell you anything factually wrong.

AI Technology seems like such a double edged sword. So many pros and cons. I mean yeah it's cool as fuck, but I can't help but think of what kind of future we're setting up for ourselves. For every benefit, there seems to be a pretty concerning drawback.
