I haven't gamed much in the last few years due to severe lack of time so I'm out of touch, but I used to play a lot of CRPGs and I always dreamed of having NPCs who could talk and react beyond predefined scripted lines. This seems to finally be possible thanks to LLMs and I think it was desired by many (not only me). So why are gamers not excited about generative AI?

Because of how very badly it works in practice. LLM writing is bad, there’s no interactivity (inference delay), it feels soulless, there’s no coherence in the generated text.

There should have been one good game by now. But there isn’t.
