I can't wait for the games that let you talk to NPCs in natural language, and have them respond in natural language. They might even be able to take limited act

  You'll probably die before that happens... It's hard enough for humans to understand natural language spoken by other humans, and we have the biology for it. Current methods of "AI" or machine "learning" are not going to get us there; these methods (especially LLMs) are incapable of the understanding needed for natural language processing or actual AI.

    > You'll probably die before that happens... Why? “I can't wait for the games that let you talk to NPCs in natural language, and have them respond in natural language.” That is as simple as popping together a speech-to-text model with an LLM and pipe the output to a text-to-speech module. We can have a demo by tomorrow, and something actually enjoyable in a week. The challenges are purely of engineering (to for example reduce the latency so the conversation flows, and to fit the models on the average consumer’s hardware) and art direction (what do you want the npc to say?). To make the npc act on the conversation is a bit harder, but stil within weeks. > Current methods of "AI" or machine "learning" are not going to get us there Get us where? :) I think you are way overthinking it. What do you think is so unachiavable about what the commenter wrote?
