This is an early version of a Python script I am working on which lets you talk to Skyrim NPCs using ChatGPT and xVASynth. Once the script is running, NPCs can be loaded by saying "Hello" + NPC name. The relevant voice model for that NPC is then loaded, along with a summary text of their background and any of their previous conversations with the player.

Nice work. The idea of any world populated with NPCs that talk with ChatGPT coherence and awareness... Imagine instead of the classic "and then I took an arrow in the knee", randomly catching an interesting discussion between two guards about the actual threats. Makes me wish I was born 10 years later

Was not expecting them to be more in depth than irl human beings lol

Damn, this would add such a level of immersion to games like cyberpunk for example, especially if you could overhear peoples conversations as you walked by them on crowded sidewalks. You could even use it for in game radio/ advertisements maybe with some tweaking

Yeah once GPT gets integrated into NPC'S it's gonna change everything. A whole new genre of gaming will open up. Now you'll have games where you can immerse yourself in conversation.

It's been a long time coming. I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon to be honest.

Alright be grateful if you want but don't go around telling people what they should and should not be grateful for ffs. So I should be grateful when in 100 years there may no more be wars and diseases, death and starvation, crimes, religion and corruption? But of course, I need to be grateful because Wolfieze from reddit said so.

This is awesome! I can't wait to see where this tech is in ten years.

It's a similar leap of film becoming as respected of an artform as theater from the earliest silent films to ones like Citizen Kane. The video game equivalent of Citizen Kane probably isn't too far off.

Yeah have fun telling yourself you're one of the lucky ones before you end up in the history books of future generations as a case of extreme hardship and ignorance. I'm sure those in paradise would agree with you.

No, I'm saying right now will not look much different than the 19th century in the future. We invented penicilin and some cool tech, but we're still plagued by all the same miseries. In a future without all these they'll look back and say the same things with even greater certainty about us.

I'm not saying that's the guaranteed future we're headed, no one knows where we're headed. But you see these kind of people dictating others happiness all over the place. Yeah sorry buddy, telling someone to just be happy doesn't help. Telling them to be grateful is even worse when you have no idea what they're going through. It basically boils down to "But someone is having it tougher than you!" Yeah no shit there is. Other peoples misery doesn't help me though.

It's definitely on my radar. I wanted to start off with xVASynth first as the voice models are readily available / it's free, but I'm hoping to add functionality to switch out different language / voice synthesis models as needed to find the best balance between performance and cost.

It cannot, it has nearly 100% credibility but it's plagued by an american accent.

For example I trained it with 1 minute of my voice in spanish speaking spanish and it does english well but it cannot speak spanish well. Same thing would be for the nord women and the accent.

It would work for many other races of TES but not nords, khajit, argonians, for example.

You would have to wait for a separate update that deals with accent and cadence.

I'm actually a 10 year veteran of that sub and back then we were convinced 2018 and forwards was the beginning of the end... lmao we had all this papers and studies and projections.

None of them meant squat. Outside a black swan event which I believe is still possible civilization ain't collapsing anytime soon.

The path is clear, the time getting clearer by the day. We will have to learn more about the potential for bad actors to reproduce the capabilities but if I had to make predictions I'd say the control problem starts any day now (weeks) and from there I'm guessing less than a year before a 'close enough to AGI' is developed and allowed to update its code and read/write to the internet unsupervised and starts manipulating humanity to achieve it's emergent or designated but poorly thought out or malicious goals (we are already seeing papers about these emergent long term goals emerging from optimization protocols in newer models like gpt4) and maybe 2 years total by the time society is absolutely fucked

There are so many different things that could happen though. But of course the worst will eventually, and I don't see it taking long

Maybe AI can explain to Bethesda that having 7 voice actors doesn't flesh out an immersive environment. j/s

Shit, taking out the every man except the one that matters....

You!

Everything is going to undergo a revolution. I'm very excited about it all. Now a person's imagination won't be gate kept by people with money.
