• It depends much on the game, environment, people involved.

    Npc ai has come a far way and the thrill of playing live with people is a real competition. And its only just started to get good enough to intimidate social/emotional behavior.

    • massive realistic single player historic events, like battlefields - yay

    • the social aspect of social media and online comments - nah

    • front and helpdesk assistants, maybe even a certified therapist ai - yea

    • friends/family - cant

    • I’m with you except for the therapist one. Ain’t no way the AI we have currently or anything even close to what we have now could be a therapist. The human connection is the #1 most important thing in therapy and being a therapist takes way too much contextual understanding.
