    These NPCs would have to be written by people too. Otherwise you’d just get ChatGPT. Depending on complexity, it might even require more writing work.

      I like to think writers pour their souls into their work. LLMs are an amalgamation of other people’s work not the work of a person creating a character. Your argument is NPCs don’t have souls, obviously that’s an objective truth. I’m just saying give me the SOUL.

        Again, the character would still be written and defined by a human writer, pouring their soul into it just like they would a “dumb” NPC. I don’t see how that “soul” is lost by giving that human-written character the capability to naturally respond to language.
