    I’ll add that a blanket ban isn’t necessarily a positive thing, either. AI could be a component of developing unique NPCs, evolving bosses, changing economies, missions/quests, or procedurally generated levels (for example).

    Obviously, at least some of that content would still need to pass human play testing, so it’s not like humans would be completely removed, but imagine if players had gameplay experiences that were entirely unique to them or changed based on non-RNG factors.

    I agree, though, that reporting the use of AI and how it’s utilized is important for people to make informed decisions about how they spend their money.

      Oh, totally. I didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

      Personally I’d love to see a new take on Daggerfall using AI for features you mentioned (though it would have to be an “all in” affair as Bethesda’s approach to randomly generated content these days is… not particularly impressive).

        I was imagining Oblivion with AI elements, but yeah! Open world RPGs seem particularly suited to this kind of thing.
