Nvidia Demos Promising But Limited AI-Powered Game Characters
- Nvidia demoed AI-powered NPCs at CES, showing limitations like pauses, dry dialog, and need for guardrails to keep conversations on track
- The NPCs use a combination of Nvidia's graphics tech and AI like GPT-3.5 to animate characters and generate speech
- Game studios are interested but these systems currently rely on cloud computing, raising questions around scalability
- More subtle Nvidia graphics tech like DLSS 3.5 actually benefits games today without replacing human creators
- The NPC dialogue and emotional range falls far short of human-written game characters, lacking recognizable personality
