Comment on World of Warcraft Forever thought related to AI and bots

I don’t get it. You want a bot to RP in WoW with you or play CIV V? It sounds like your not quite sure yourself which I think is why people are downvoting. My condolences about your brother.
If you’re interested in this there are/were a lot of Skyrim mods that use LLMs to make interactable followers. That was before prices of LLMs went up so much mind you. If you really are interested in this topic this is what I’d start with. A lot of this code is not open and WoW and Skyrim are quite different games in nature.
Tbh the human element in WoW RP always appealed to me, why not find some random people to RP with? I saw an Orc called Chris Orcson in the starting zone of Forever who kept spamming “Why don’t you have a seat” in chat and emoting. I thought that was quite funny and added the guy and talked.
It doesn’t sound like you even know what you want in an RP bot.

suppose I could have phrased things more clearly. No, a friend was working on the original ingame non-player AI, using gen AI to work on the addon. I wouldn’t be interested in making an RP bot myself, however in terms of content having dynamic AI chatbot based wandering NPCs I think would be a good addition to the game vs how the NPCs work now. Either Blizzard doing it themselves, or opening it up to the community to allow them to pay a sub and run an approved RP bot.
