minus-squareIzzyScissor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoThe best models right now still hallucinate, so no matter how well trained, they’re still going to be awful. The specific message isn’t the issue. They have no object permanence and you can convince them of things by just repeating it to them enough times. But the worst part? They’re not even fun to talk to.

minus-squareIzzyScissor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoThose are not my ONLY issues, no. They’re the most egregious for a videogame right now, but the entire concept is just … Fluff for no reason other than to list “AI NPCs” on the box. Paying for more writers is simply better all around.
