Generative AI makes their business case for the meta-verse actually work. You can populate the meta-verse with convincing NPCs: they fit in, they finesse social interactions, they kickstart communities and befriend the unpopular, and every once in a while they drop some product placement. For an introverted, anxious, and digital-preferring generation, this could be perfect.

It's an unbelievably sad future to live in what you're describing.

NPCs that are convincing if you ignore the fact that they only can remember less than 5 minutes of interaction because they lack long-term context due to the nature of LLMs? I'm not sure if lonely people would rather talk to an Alzheimers anime girl or be alone.

  Having the NPC store some notes about previous conversations or look up stuff in the chat history doesn't seem impossible. Also if you don't want to build a relationship but just chat a bit you don't need long term memory.

People play games today with weak AI. Generative AI might be fun in VR, but it's not the "killer feature". Generative AI is fun in non-VR too. I have lots of friends online. I don't need 3D VR interactions with them.

  Absolutely disagree. The metaverses value proposition is the ability to create hyper customized communities and experiences. Generative AI is a near requirement to see that vision. Many, many people do not have friends online, or they have different interests, or for whatever other reason may prefer interacting with AIs who do exactly what they want.
