We’re still a ways off, but most looking forward to AI in games. Imagine RPGs with “intelligent” NPCs that don’t just rattle off the same set of 2 or 3 phrases, they spontaneously come up with different side quests for you to do based on actual things happening around the world. Or they have opinions on things that you’ve done or what you’re wearing and you can actually type whatever you want to say and they’ll have some response.
Or maybe even the game has no set plot, it just comes up with a different overarching plot each time, you’d never play the same game as anybody else, different characters, all with personal histories and fully voiced dialogue, just created on the fly.
Also, AI porn videos.
I’d love a sarcastic AI NPC
Me - misses shot
AI -Oh for fuuuuuuck’s saaaake
Try dungeon AI, it has been out for a while. Uses LLM to generate the adventure:
I want a personal assistant that actually works. Like Siri or Alexa, but it can actually do secretarial tasks.
“Find and schedule a roofing company to come fix the roof”
“See if you can get me dinner reservations for a nice Italian restaurant tomorrow night at 630”
“Write an email to bob apologizing for running over his dog”
“Find an image on the internet of a person being mauled by a bear, edit the picture so that it’s James being mauled, and send picture to him”
“Find a new show for me to watch and torrent the first episode, re-dub it in Japanese with Spanish subtitles”
I’d be worried the service that suggests a roofing company or Italian restaurant would go to the highest bidder. That is, it would only contact the big nation wide chains, who pay apple & amazon, over the small local companies that give better service for half the price.
That’s already the case when you use Google maps or Google search, but it feels like you’d have less control by giving the AI a single instruction
No I want it to run locally
So… Judging from your requests I’m going to guess you are part of the Italian Maffia working abroad.
Here’s a photo of what’s left in the fridge. Order my groceries online for the week and email the proposed recipes.
I need to get a present for X, please order it.
I think part of the problem, is those offering AI currently, have an ulterior motive. For instance, personal assistants like Google. They made it worse as there was less chances to advertise. Alexa can buy stuff, but only on Amazon. I want an assistant that is loyal to me, not to the company providing it. If I order groceries, I want it to check pricing and buy the best value with most convenient drop off. It’s getting infuriating that you have to go through 20 steps for many services before you find out the final price and timing.
And Silexa will even automatically send notes to the SPCA, police, and your ISP!
Whatever means humans can work less and get more free-time.
A complete overhaul of our economic system then.
Yes please.
That’s socialism!
Yes please.
Looking at our history, I doubt this will ever happen. We already have plenty of tools that make our work life easier, but instead of enjoying the gained free time, we get overwhelmed with more work.
Yeah it absolutely won’t happen. I’ll settle for the collapse of civilisation as the second best alternative.
Except we won’t get paid for time not spent working so it’ll just create a worse poverty epidemic
I am very excited to see which areas of medicine will make progress through AI in the next few years.
My best friend has extreme back pain and there doesn’t seem to be anyone who can really help him.
My wife has multiple sclerosis, which I don’t need to say more about.
Medicine has made enormous progress in the last few decades. I pray this gets a turbo boost from AI. (And that even though I don’t believe in God.)
There are progresses in biology with AI being capable of predicting how a protein would fold on itself, and that is a huge milestone
I don’t really trust AI for important tasks but I do want to see them used in video games. There already is some level of AI in many games but how much better can it be?
Like talking to an AI or just more intelligent NPCs overall? I don’t really believe in the talking part as people will scream very weird things at those AIs while there trying to tell you something. I don’t really see how they should handle that. Maybe LLM could be used in roleplaying games where the players all know to behave and act like their characters would.
It would be cool to have talk to text incorporated into an RPG. Instead of a set script, NPCs could have an AI framework and improvise lines based on the player dialogue.
Agreed.
I also would like to see AI applied to things like “the computer” when you play against “the computer”.
Imagine a game where everything you see is AI generated based on whatever themes you give it.
“AI applied to things like ‘against the computer’”
Coding an adversary in a game is generally very easy. If anything it’s oriented around making them beatable by humans rather than actually intelligent. (And that’s even ignoring lazy tricks like reading player moves).

This is on my Ai wishlist now as well. Seen the use of Ai on jets and that already was quite interesting, can only imagine he raw performance were going to pump out by doing this
I want holodecks like they have on star Trek.
More precisely I want to be able to talk to a computer tell it what I want and have it construct the idea in real time.
As an example: computer create setting mid 18th century frontier saloon.
Or whatever. You get the idea.
I can’t help but feel like if we didn’t live in a capitalist hellscape, the increasing democratization of art would be unambiguously a good thing. I’d be more than happy to see “art as decoration” (as opposed to “art as a human means of expression”) opened to being something shunted off to machines, if it weren’t for the fact that this is a method that people currently use to make sure they have enough money to not starve to death in the cold. Advertising art of polar bears drinking Coke is nicer to look at than big block text saying “consume”, but it’s hardly a soulful expression of the human condition. Or maybe it is, which is even more depressing, but the ultimate apotheosis of this is pushing that sort of messaging to robots to make anyway.
Meanwhile, giving people who aren’t necessarily “artistic” a vehicle to create art as a means of expressing themselves is also really neat, and in the hands of people who are artistic, it gives them a low-impact tool for pre-visualization, inspiration, and a new medium to experiment with. It also reduces barriers for people with disabilities to make art. I’d love to see artists training LLM systems on their own work as a way of sharing their “style” with the world — something which is difficult to justify in a world where your style is something that needs to be jealously protected against copyright infringement, which again comes down to needing to monetize your expression as a matter of survival.
I think it’s horrible to tell disabled people and people who aren’t confident about their art skills that their best or only option is to use a program that just reuses other people’s art.
There is no “democratization” of art with AI. Disabled people can already make art, including people without fucking hands. People can make art without formal training or it looking conventionally attractive. All AI does is give you a shortcut to mimicking things other people have already done.
Would you kindly shut the fuck up? No one said anything even close to the majority of your comment.
No ❤️
Spend Christmas being less shitty.
Take your own advice.
LLM/AI tools can massively decrease the cost of dubbing media into smaller languages, including the cost of creating audio descriptions for the visually impaired. I don’t know the extent to which these uses are actually being implemented at the moment, but yeah. It’s by all means possible, and in my eyes pretty cool. These uses would not replace real people, would not require unethical practices, but would still reduce the workload.
I’m kind of disappointed by the ways in which AI is being presented as a “terk er jerbs” thing in fields where it has no rightful place, the ways in which AI is presented as a “procedurally generated Netflix and chill with my robot girlfriend” hyperreal horrorshow, the ways in which AI is being used for scams. AI absolutely has its places in society, and helping with accessibility and localization is one of them.
Edit: Yes, and also writing closed captions, and arguably even using deepfakes to “dub” shows and movies into sign languages could be potential uses.
There’s also how chatbots can be used as language study buddies for those without the ability to talk to actual native speakers, although I haven’t had much success with this, personally.
once we have gotten past the ethical quandaries and doing it the right way. It would be cool to just synthesize voices for npcs and PC from a list of “character types” and maybe add accents for the main PC. So all games can have voiced audio (could be cool if it can also work in a retroactive way, like play a classic CRPG but have fully voiced characters would be pretty neat), which can be a mixed bag in modern day since realistically there is a budget and voice acting can take a ton of money if done right. So it means we as gamer if we can mod in new quests, we can use such system to truly expand thee game. Like I love real VA performances so I can see this as a “stopgap” so you can get the main questline done and many of the “good” side quests done but you can use this AI trained voice for the more smaller tasks that may not get as much love or as I said use it for modding.
Voice commanded devices that make me more confident in talking normally instead of in keywords.
Yeah google and Alexa suck hard
Making movies from a single prompt.
Language learning ai based programs would be neat
I don’t think anyone will actually make it, but it would be cool to have an arrangement of accelerometers and microphones that you can put on the side of a packaged gift, shake it, and get a guess about what it is.
A harvesting robot that can tell how many days from ripe an avocado is, so the grocery store can have like… “ripe today” avocados, “ripe tomorrow” avocados, “ripe in 2 days” avocados. They’d come in small cardboard boxes, and they could just shift the boxes or signs over by one each day, and have more boxes if they get avocado deliveries less often.
Machine learning clothing/hairstyle/general fashion advice would be neat, but probably too open to manipulation to sell certain brands to be practical.
Tools to help developers put houses at the best spot on a lot, for things like water mitigation, tree safety, garden space in good sunlight, wind noise, and privacy.
Search tools that aren’t terrible on shopping sites, and news sites, and research journals and things. The days of “we asked Google to do it for us” being good enough are long over.
Shouldn’t this be ask Lemmy?
