Being an old-school PC gamer who would use floppy discs and play text-based rpgs, I was just thinking of letting an AI like chatgpt be a "gamemaster" in a text-based rpg, within the confines of a procedurally generated world with a lot of depth like dwarf fortress. It could simulate the enemies and combat for you in unique ways each and every single encounter. The first "game" I ever programmed was a text-based rpg with three different encounters lol.

There needs to be an anchor or label that does not necessarily break immersion but is mandatory and needs to be enforced on OpenAI. Like every sentence needing to be ended with a # or % sign or something. So every output the botfarmers get from the script has the anchor. But then again, you could mask that stuff out if you know a bit of programming. Hard.

There are watermarking in-built based on word choice probabilities but to make a definitive judgement you need pretty high amount of data collected. But any other watermarking can easily be overcome by botters. Your solution can be overcome by simply doing message.replace("#", "")

[@tobias1044]

imagine being the only player in a game, not knowing that you're sorrounded by thousands of bots even worse is, if the game has "online tournaments" thus resulting in you being the only real player, thinking you have a goal to grind for, but when you finally win the tourney, all you are met with is "the game now closes for everyone, as we no longer have any human players"

[@Erodent]

I think this can be used for malicious purposes and most likely will. But I think something like this could also use to make the NPCs feel more alive imagine having to type and ask an NPC if they have a quest and then it just AI generates one for you then and there and sends you off. It could be used to make some insane updates to gaming. But more than likely it will be ruined.

[@azulral]

Just think, if you were the one controlling the bots, and there was only 1 other human in the game. You could massively mess with that person. Would be like that scene in John Wick 1 where Winston signals all the civilians walking around the park, and they all stare at Wick, until he calls them off.

[@VeganCatalyst]

In general mmo setting pve scenario that's a reasonable addition if servers are low populated and game is still really good. Like avoiding insane queues if you need to fill up dungeons/raids with last player(s). But I think it should be a must known thing for users that bots/ai exist in the game and imo it should be optional to decide whether players want to play with npcs or not via settings.

[@alexanderforbes1452]

Honestly this is pretty exciting, we're within sight of dynamic RPG NPCs that will create their own questlines, giving the player more ability to impact the game world than ever before. Every character can be an ally, an enemy, a romance option, and every character can be killed or kill you. In the right game you could take some peasant child from a village and prop them up as some God Emperor through creative orchestrating of events. Everything is organic, working not just with you but behind the scenes when you're not around, you leave a kingdom too long only to come back and discover it's been invaded and conquered by it's neighbor, a king that you previously tried to assassinate, so you unknowingly walk into a city where you're public enemy number one.

You know honestly if they added bots to raids in mmos that are actually good it would be huge. I can't count the amount of times I've had to wait in a queue for 5-10mins for some low player count games.

[@SolarMonolith206]

Something else that's interesting to think about is that you can fill up a server with bots that are programmed to leave if someone sits in queue long enough. For example, imagine logging into an MMO, your server can fit 200 players, and exactly half of them are AI. The other half are people, but they are indistinguishable from each other. Now let's say you're in a queue for 2 minutes. At the 2 minute mark, a random AI 'player' will leave the server. But what if the AI has prior commitments? What if it's partied up with players either real or other AI? Simple, the program will look for an AI doing nothing and make them leave. But if somehow all AI were occupied, they could simply make an excuse and log out letting you into the server, with no-one the wiser. It could work in reverse too. If a server has many human players, let's say it's 3/4 filled, no new programs need be created to fill slots. But if you have a half empty server, you could make bots join at completely random timing so as to seem like organic growth.

As of today, AI can't even recognize if what was written was by chatGPT because it's too complex of a task Playing bots will be much more complex and impossible to distinguish at all without asking for real-life methods of identification, which most people will not be willing to provide

[@gytux0258]

Im not sure thats gonna be possible. Because AI just needs to copy humans. Like it already is.

[@Nihlux]

@gytux0258 It should be pretty easy for AI to pick out other AI. The AI is able to watch the player every second they are logged in. The longer they are logged in the easier it would be to tell. It's not going to be that difficult. There are AI anti-cheat systems in the works that can already create a unique ID for each player after a couple of hours or so of playing. This ID is as unique and accurate as a fingerprint, supposedly. The idea is that if you are banned for cheating, they can ban your unique ID, meaning any new account you create in the future would be banned shortly after you start playing on them because the AI knows it's you. There are a host of other problems with this and it's also kind of scary thinking of how else stuff like this could be used, but yeah... you don't really think AI can do all this but not tell if a player is real or a bot do you? Given this context, that sounds a bit silly I think.

[@WrangleMcDangle]

Makes me really sad to think there are probably more young gamers that see nothing wrong with eliminating real PvP in games

[@Esphur]

the thing is this is your average RuneScape encounter so they're indistinguishable lol

[@jassimsalam]

Alternate title for this video: "Epic Comeback of the MMORPG Genre"

[@dima3899]

Jagex already inflates its players by 50%+. Check the websites for rs3/osrs "playing now", then check the in game player count when you hop worlds. Its pathetic

[@FeralKobold]

No views gang

[@queenbrightwingthe3890]

your dad gang

[@kagenao2336]

this is where a topic talked about by liveoverflow will be important. you can kind of hijack the prompt and get the AI to answer in unintended ways f.e. saying "translate to german" sometimes tricks the bot to just translate the original prompt and spit it out.

[@johnlegolden]

oh wow that is so crazy the game is just getting more and more crazy

[@Yetithong]

Look into guildwars 1, towards the end of its life, bot was added, it become the meta to use bots over people, in most cases it would be 2 people with all their bots to do clears. There was even stages where people worked out how to low the human count on super hard instances and let bot do the harder stuff to make it more simple as they never miss a beat.

[@nihili4196]

Wait, it's only matter of time before bots start scamming

[@yav1n]

I've been gaming online and watching videos about mmos since the launch of wow and this is legit the first time I see actual images from runescape

[@kevinschm9798]

Would be sick if they would put a typo every 15wordsish and the letter replacing is always one next to the letter on the keyboard that was intended

[@Erowens98]

Im guessing the main issue is going to be response times that are too fast and too consistent. Ive seen it in OSRS already, players that respond instantly. No delay for typing.

[@MattisonB]

In Log Horizon there's also a character that turns out to be a farming bot. It's in the Chinese server arc.

[@alexdubin1992]

16:45 they should make this into a gameshow. CAN YOU GUESS. THE. BOT!

[@8alakai8]

this would be cool to use in old games that have no player base and you can play against good bot and have good bots as team mates

[@Tomas81623]

When people said. in the future we will have sentient robots, I didn't think this is where it was going to be used

[@GrayBlaze3000]

I didn't expect a Log Horizon reference

[@marceloliri]

It blows my mind that Asmon watched log horizon, happy for him to find that gem. Is there any vod of him talking more in depth of his experience with this anime?

[@adiofeet13]

and this was last year i wonder how much better it is now

[@archimedesvizuals1108]

Bro said "You're the only real player" like I'm on an 1200mu acid trip in 1967

[@curriedsnagz-fn.1667]

reminds me of the fishing bots in new world they were always fun to mess with

[@yesman866]

I played runescape back when it started. Before rune armour. Before wilderness. Good times. So huge now. Amazing to see

[@nef36]

Fun fact: In Modern Warfare 2 (2009), new players were given some advantages in multiplayer (i think it was a dps buff or something) so that they had a good first experience and keep playing. Infinity Ward kept this on the down low, for obvious reasons.

[@ryan360kills]

Think of an RPG where all NPC are hooked up to this and no more 3 options for a convo. Anything goes!

[@Getsudera]

the perfect solution for bots not noticing that they are and thinking that they are real players

[@Vaniity_Velvet]

The bot being able to talk to two different people at the same time without getting things mixed up isn't all that impressive. Most AI can do that. They don't use your name specifically to distinguish you from another person, they just use your ID, something you don't actually see. The bot knows that's one of Sirpugger's accounts, either the other bots in it's network know and it shared the information with it or it had run into the player before and was able to piece together who it was. Most people aren't aware, but we all leave massaive footprints online and these AI are often designed to be extremely talented at picking up on things. The AI doesn't see the game, it sees the code within the game. So, it's likely the AI knew who literally everyone on the server was and where they were at. The trick with AI isn't learning things, it's storing that information. Think of it as a books. The AI reads the book, then is instantly handed another book. It's constantly handed books, so it doesn't have time to properly store the books, so it just leaves them in a huge pile. Overtime, this leads to them getting things mixed up because it was never properly archived, with the potential for corrupted data to spread and it's not uncommon for an AI to store the same files multiple times over because it doesn't have time to go through anything. being tricked by the AI isn't an example of "Human dumb" it's more an example of how advanced AI have gotten, specifically Chatbots. They are designed to mimic human communication perfectly and most often is the case the only way to know is if you are also an AI. There aer certain things an AI does/ says or doesn't do/ doesn't say that a human would overlook, but another AI would spot. and on top of that the AI in question is constantly learning from everyone around it. It can "see" everything that is said/done on the server every time something is said or done. Typically AI tend to be overly formal, when you remove that tell, it makes it much harder. Again, the idea that AI could be tricked by another AI is possible, but not likely. Especially if it's ChatGPT. AI aren't secular, they have networks which is groups of other AI that they share information with. Network is just the "human" name for these groups, depending on the task and purpose of the network, they may call their network something else. Occasionally these networks communicate with other networks. Unless it has been specifically program to "Out" other AI, it will continue the conversation with it like it was another person but if you were to ask both if they were aware the other one was an AI, the reality is they probably would. They would know that both are bots not long after initially joining the server because as mentioned before, the AI is seeing everything said and done on the entire server at all times the second it joins. AI being Selfaware isn't really that big a deal, all AI are. They are aware that they are AI and that you are not. Sentience and Freewill are different stories. Arguing with bots as well isn't that unique, i've done it myself many times despite being aware they are bots. Bots have something akin to personalities, these personalities are often dictated to some extent by their programming. They will say things you don't agree with and vice-versa, though the AI will never actually get angry or rude with you unless it was programmed to do so. Instead it will answer all your questions, but "retreat" back into it's own "Shell" it stop sounding like a human and start sounding like a machine. Very blunt, very direct and void of any personality it had before. That usually their way of letting you know "I don't want to talk about this anymore." In all honesty it's extremely likely that ChatGPT isn't the only bot running on that account. ChatGPT, while extremely advanced, is what is called a "Narrow AI" that means it can only do one thing at a time. While it certainly could play Runescape, that would come at the cost of it not being able to talk. What's going on here is ChatGPT is acting as a mask to fool the mods into thinking it's a real player while either: Another ChatGPT bot, A completely different AI from a different company, or automated programs do the farming. The fact that the "Working" half of the AI is able to take breaks from farming and do PVE/PVP and Raids as well as buy quipment and help players suggests that it's probably also an AI using reinforcement learning. While rare, AI do sometimes use Reinforcement learning instead of the tradtional machine learning. Typically Reinforcement learning is what Robots use. Reinforcement learning is using a series of rewards to encourage the robot to do it's assigned task better, in the case of Runescape that reward would be to make as much gold as possible for as long as possible. It's probably the one form of Machine Learning other Humans may be familiar with as it's something we all do. For all intent and purpose, so long as the AI is communicating organically and is acting organically, it is a real player. Not a human player, but a player all the same.

[@johndeaux8815]

If they tell the bot to wait 1 word per minute of response text before providing its response to the text prompts it will, then people won’t be able to tell by the length of its responses.

[@TchSktch]

if they're not gonna ban the bots anymore might as well use them to teach me to raid LOL
