It’s a shame. But based on what I saw about it, it looked like maybe they had some delusions about using LLMs for character dialogue, which seems like an insanely complex feature to build into an already complex game.

Why? It can’t be much more than using one of those chatbot girlfriends. I know there could be delays as it takes time to generate but it could have a local version that just is a stripped down version that just processes dialogue. Probably requires a beefy GPU though.

You’d need the conversations to be highly constrained in order to not break the game. Currently there are too many ways of “jailbreaking” LLMs.

While that’s true, I suspect that whoever gets there first will get a free pass in the court of public opinion, so long as it’s a single player game.
“Look how awful my Sims are” is already a recurring gag hobby, anyway.

I wouldn’t give it a free pass if it ruined the gameplay and would have been easier for them not to implement.

There already are a small number of games utilizing LLMs. Yes it‘s immersion breaking from time to time but the worst part is the credit system many of them use to pay for the API. If you go past your conversation limit, you‘ve got to pay extra.

That sounds awful
