Once again, the gaming industry has used this term for a long time before these LLMs came and took it to push their LLMs.

You can argue the is a form of intelligence going on that is artificial with the enemies in videogames, they have to react to the character and the actions that character takes which aren’t a pre determined scripted thing, so the NPCs have to make a decision on how they go about it, using one of the options it has. Which is exactly how say a security guard would think, they have a set amount of things they can do, they make a decision based off those choices and the actions of the ‘player’ and then perform said action.

where people go wrong is assuming the term artificial intelligence means something that thinks and acts like a human, but it’s not.

The over use of the term AI is annoying, but the gaming industry isn’t jumping onto a trend when using this term for how their bots think and react, now if you were angry about them using AI to develop or generate their games, I’d agree wholeheartedly with you, but we’re not talking about that.

The game industry has been calling that stuff AI for like nearly 40 years man.

LLMs need to stop using the term AI, there’s more intelligence in a Half life npc than in a llm.

Wicked, nice way to tell me not to play it.
