Lately, I've been hearing a lot of people talking about how ChatGPT is going to impact games, gaming, and that whole industry. Today on the podcast, we are going to dive into that and look at the implications in the gaming industry, look at the disruption that's going to happen. So without further ado, let's get into it. I think the gaming industry is very massive. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, as we know, that has been really growing rapidly in recent years.

1:22So, you know, whether we're looking for mobile games to console games, PC games, there's just countless titles available to play for pretty much any agent interest. And so I think that kind of, you know, just the diversity of all the content really plays into why it's growing so fast. So I'd say despite the popularity of games and the whole industry, it's not without its challenges. So developing games can be super time consuming, incredibly expensive, and ensuring like making sure that your games are actually engaging and enjoyable for players. It requires a lot of creativity expertise. And so I think that's actually where ChatGPT can come in and other AI tools to really help automate the process and create better things for the users.

2:07So one area that I've heard a lot of people talking about is how ChatGPT is going to affect NPCs in games. So an NPC is on player character, right? So if there's a game, and you know, it's like Skyrim or something, and you walk into like a tavern and there's a guy in the tavern and you can walk up to him and he'll, you know, typically in games in the past, there's, there's been like these non, these NPCs that they'll just say like candle lines, like, oh, go look for the ring in this place, or your quest is here, or, you know, they'll try to move you along in a direction, they'll give you like a one very basic thing.

2:41And so people are saying to make these games a lot more immersive, a lot more realistic, a lot more interesting. They can link these NPCs up with tools like chat GPT. So when you go and And essentially, it's not just like an open chat to say whatever you want, but essentially they'll go and they'll create a really elaborate prompt that says like, okay, you're an NPC in a game that does X, Y, and Z. Your role is to help move the character along to do this mission or that mission. When they come into your area, you can just have a conversation with them about all of these different topics. And your goal is to always try to push them to go and take this action or do this thing.

3:16And so all of a sudden, every single time you go to a specific location and you ask a specific question to one of these characters, it's like a person actually talking and it's giving you a different output, a different response every single time, depending on what you say to it. So this can be a really interesting way, I think, to make games a lot more unique, a lot more creative, a lot more powerful. And I think that, you know, typically writing the dialogue for NPCs in games is really time consuming. And so I think this is a really interesting way that you can really build these up to be powerful, really powerful components in a game.

3:51So I think another area where ChatGPT is going to be useful is in just like obviously simple things like generating the description of game environments. So in a lot of games, players, you know, they go and explore complex worlds filled with a variety of different environments. You know, so you get like forests and deserts and futuristic cities. And so creating a detailed description of these environments, it can be challenging, just takes time. So I think ChatGPT is going to be trained to generate some really rich immersive descriptions that kind of help bring the whole game world to life. I think it can also be used to automate certain aspects of game design.

4:28So for example, I think that you could have ChatGPT be trained to generate game mechanisms based on a set of parameters, such as the type of game, the target audience, and maybe the desired level of difficulty. So I think this can actually help speed up the game development process and I think this is going to make sure that games Are well balanced and you know just fun to play so you know chat GPT Knows how games have been designed and set up in the past. It's been trained on so much data online and so Using it to kind of help you in that whole process I think can can really help the quality of games especially like indie games and stuff like that that are coming out So of course, ChaiGPT is not capable of just like completely, you know, replacing human game developers.

5:11There's a lot of tasks involved in game development that require like a ton of creativity, like what's the premise of the game? What's the outline? What's the setting? I think, you know, the expertise and the human touch is going to be really big moving forward, especially when a lot of stuff is made by AI. but I do think that by automating certain tasks chat gpt can help game developers be a lot more efficient and productive and I think it's going to free up a lot of their time to focus on more complex and challenging tasks around these games that they're creating so I think in addition to its potential impact on game development chat gpt could also have a pretty big impact on the game industry as a whole so like as an example I think it could I think it could be used to automate like just customer support in your company or you know just allowing players to get really quick like answers to their questions about the game without needing to go to like you know a human customer support representative on your website or something and I think that also just like obviously it's going to be used to like generate marketing copy for the company for the game and just helping the developers to create like effective advertising campaigns and all that kind of stuff so obviously it's going to get integrated into everything they're doing and you know it's obviously a relatively new technology but I think it's already starting to make some waves in the game industry I've already heard like on other podcasts and stuff people talking about companies that are doing these like NPCs linked up to chat GPT so I like this is this is coming very soon companies starting to roll this stuff out so I think it's gonna be really big and a very interesting area to watch in the future Sure.
