Revolutionizing Skyrim's NPCs with ChatGPT Mod
If you're a fan of Skyrim, there's great news for you! A new mod is out that will revolutionize the way we think about non-player characters (NPCs) in the game. Art From The Machine, a well-known modder, has developed a ChatGPT mod for Skyrim that utilizes OpenAI’s large language model and xVASynth to create responses for the NPCs in the game. This means that NPCs can now generate new dialogues on the spot, making the game more immersive and exciting.
Advanced Capabilities of the Mod
The new mod has extended Skyrim's notoriously limited dialogue options for NPCs, giving players a chance to engage in extended conversations with computer-controlled characters. The NPCs can now remember past events and conversations and make calculations based on that information. For instance, in the demo video shared by Art From The Machine, the NPC was able to tell when a shop in Whiterun was open and when it was going to close.
The modder used xVASynth, a text-to-speech modulator, and Whisper, OpenAI’s speech-to-text model, to create the new dialogue responses. Art From The Machine is hopeful that in the future, more advanced tools will be available to facilitate memory systems that will help condense conversations down for future prompts.
Potential for AI Technologies in Video Games
The ChatGPT mod for Skyrim is an exciting demonstration of how AI technology could enhance video games in the future. The modder's work shows the potential for game developers to start using AI chatbots to expand the limited dialogue trees of virtual characters.
The mod is not yet available to the public as Art From The Machine wants to perfect it further. The modder believes this mod is just the beginning of how AI can enhance the world of gaming. As the technology progresses, we can expect to see more AI-driven creations that revolutionize the way we think about NPC dialogues and interactions in video games.
