I’m sorry for your loss.
I think the core issue with your post is that as many other people, you have been lied to. The so called “AI” industry has nothing to do with intelligence or even teaching the computer to do a specific thing, such as play StarCraft.
If you add an LLM based player to WoW it will not feel more alive.

Starcraft bot battling was a thing before gen AI took off.

AI didn’t “take off”. What they call AI in the media and in marketing is mostly LLM-based word generators.
Obviously, AI existed since the dawn of gaming, and indeed there’s been some progress, but mostly in very specific games (e.g. AlphaGo). Building an actual game AI is indeed hard, you can’t just plug in an LLM and call it a day.
