A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

A very small example: First Person Shooters and other action games would be very boring without enemy AI.
Don't get confused here. That kind of "AI" has nothing to do with the AI we're talking about here. We had NPCs decades ago in games when AI wasn't even a thing yet.
That's what the person I was replying to was asking. NPC scripting is still a form of AI and can get pretty advanced (Alien: Isolation).
When you're talking about Generative AI it's important to specify, because there are legitimate forms of AI that aren't intended to steal jobs.
Absolutely not. Not even remotely close. NPC scripting follows a pattern, and no matter how advanced and complex you made these algorithms, that's all they are - algorithms.
AI is actually "learning", as in it needs material to get good at something.
Those are two completely different things. The only thing they have in common is that they are both ran on a computer.
