AI integration with NPC's would be interesting.

1.) Whatever was in the agreement between the Homecoming leaders and NCSoft.  If there are limits on how the game can be developed, this might not even be a possibility.

 

I think this would be the biggest hurdle.  Given the possibility of a "ChapGPT copied my content into your game" lawsuit, I think we'd have to stay far away from it.  And the second point you make, it'll take resources from other stuff, is spot on, lots of stuff I'd like to see the devs work on besides "idle chit chat with NPCs."

Why are you making denigrating comparisons about pigswill? I've abortively watched some YouTube videos that make pigswill look like Cordon Bleu

Fair point, even if a lot of swill ends up with more than one iteration through the pig.

^{((and yes, it was actually dumb enough to give the pig two sets of ears and no visible eyes by default))}

AI content can be useful with very careful guidance and bracketing -- the sort of work it takes thoughtful, knowledgeable, and practiced humans to perform effectively. Maybe someday it will be more, but I think a healthy dose of skepticism will carry the day, today.
