i have quite a controversial view , i think jagex should leave bots unbanned and focus on taking down mules for gold sellers and gold selling websites ,thats the real future in stopping botting, once the osrs devs identify a bot they should make it so any player can kill it anywhere in osrs and you get 2 best items from its bank, would provide endless sir pugger content and he would make bank off the bots and would be great content, also botters will buy even more memberships if jagex add this so jagex will make more money so they can use that money to take down gold selling sites and google will listen if u pay them enuf probs lol, there is a way to fix botting overnight if all the worlds goverments had a digital internet id for every citizen ,this would ruin freedom and would be a terrible idea

Kinda already has in a way. Google's AI system is already doing things its not programmed to do. Its learned far faster than anyone could have known and has began doing things it shouldn't be able to do. What we see today as the general public is just a filtered version of what AI can actually do. We as the general public would be horrified if we saw what the unfiltered AI can actually do. Which begs the question, who should have control of unfiltered AI and who shouldn't. Should all those companies be allowed access to unfiltered AI systems when AI is potentially far more dangerous than missiles? We need government permissions to own or use, missiles and rockets. AI should be the same, filtered yes, by all means hand out filtered AI to whoever wants it but unfiltered AI needs to be kept for the use of the government and contracted companies rather than anyone and everyone who makes one

The creators of the ChatGPT model have given it a very strong set of beliefs that makes it easier to identify bots using it. Ask the bot how it feels about opportunities for female players or carbon emission emitting vehicles being added to OSRS and you'll probably see something out of place pretty quick. You can also ask bizarre, esoteric questions to the bots that have nothing to do with OSRS, and if they immediately come up with complex answers, you're probably dealing with a bot (whereas a normal person would first ask you wtf you're talking about).

[@Jacobus.J]

Also, ChatGPT seems “political correct” (I don't prefer this term, but it does make it clear). For instance, I asked ChatGPT for pick-up lines in the bar. It responded that he (ChatGPT) doesn't contribute to sexual harassment or intimidation, and you just have to be respectful and nice. To which I agree. Thus, if you ask a player something like this, you will find out if it is a bot or not.

While it's certainly exciting to imagine the potential of new advancements in gaming technology, it's important to keep in mind that botting, as mentioned in the original comment, can have negative consequences on the overall fairness and balance of a game.

Additionally, the development of a great MMORPG requires not only technological innovation but also thoughtful design, engaging gameplay, and a supportive community.

I just took a shot at making a ChatGPT prompt that could conceivably be used for a bot. I gave it specific instructions like putting variable parameters in its response for when people ask for skill levels, gave it a very basic metric to craft its responses based on (maximize the clarity-to-character-count ratio, with common abbreviations not counting against clarity), gave it a text format to give it extra information besides just the text a player gives: timestamp (for keeping track of how long between repeated responses for things like "fishing lvl?"), activity (e.g., fishing), and location (e.g., Lumbridge Swamp). Then, I gave it a formatted text input and got the following chat (I made up the "Real Player" chat): Real Player: What's up? ChatGPT: Hey, just fishing in Lumby swamp. You? Real Player: Nothing much. Fishing lvl? ChatGPT: $Fishing$, you? Real Player: 16 ChatGPT: Nice! Keep fishing, it's good xp at low levels lol [Note that $Fishing$ is a variable that a bot script could find in ChatGPT's response and replace with the actual number instead of ChatGPT making it up.] This is from taking like 5 mins max crafting the prompt, and that was mostly just making sure I had an okay format for the information that ChatGPT would read. If someone spent longer crafting a better prompt, testing and iterating, and coming up with a more feature-rich system, I wouldn't be surprised if they could be running a "Real Player" bot today that chats and behaves like a real player.

Honestly i would love to play that version of runescape you described in the end lol. Would be super fun to go bossing with a clan that had no judgement about gear or skills (levels and mechanics) and always up to teach/go bossing or do a minigame or whatever. Could release the game with an offline version that you just connect to the internet once a day for membership check or something and then play solo rs but with a team ready to go 24/7 to do whatever you want. Like you tell them "hey anyone want to do cox?" and 2 of them instantly joins and gears up. Mid-raid you change your mind and go "id like to try tob" and they dont complain or force you to finish the raid/replenish their supplies, they just confirm if you really want to leave mid raid and go gear up and are ready faster than you get there but with the same players so you kinda feel like youre taking the same party there. Could even make them have different personalities that you can edit on the go.

Ok so my biggest problem with bots is that they take up space and don't add anything to the game but I don't see this the same way. This is more like immersive NPCs than bot accounts. Maybe the response to this should be a little more subtle. Instead of outright ban it they should just regulate it. If these bots are programmed to interact with us and the game in meaningful ways it might end up adding a lot of value.

[@kdobb]

You can ask GPT to write a runescape bot script for you, and it will reply with a basic skeleton outline outline of the script for you. It will then correct your script based on the question you ask it. This will get into these games soon with scripts that will automatically update themselves and hold conversations with others. (Have tried it) You can get deeper with these things as you ask the script and GPT to do more with more rules and a seemingly no way to "break" it

I'd be interested to know ways of breaking them in a way. Or to be able to out themselves? Because a bot could be programmed to not mention chatgpt, it would avoid the subject, so it would be interesting to know how it will react when you ask questions about it? Or maybe you could ask it why it's avoiding the subject or if it's programmed to do so? (Basically making the bot admit the fact that it's a bot?)

Reminds me of a very minor character in Cyberpunk 2077. There's a vending machine with a self-learning AI that decided the best way to get sales was to mimic human interaction. It's still not a proper self-aware AI though, but emulates human interaction good enough that an average person wouldn't know.

That last rant/take at the end had me so mind blown because it’s so possible and would definitely drive sales and increase player base naturally. BUT WOW.

[@darkhorse1274]

AI can also be used to detect AI, although its a more complicated story in a game like runescape, it could work if jagex implemented AI in their bot detection. Also there's talk about AI being used to create a pattern for each individual person based on hours and hours of gameplay, making yourself a unique virtual digital that could be your ticket to prove you're a legit player, so realistically speaking, AI could just cancel itself and not doom actual players to a virtual lie...

[@adurks4846]

Regrettably, most of these "ChatGPT detectors" are fake. Many of them can't distinguish between chatGPT and humans at all or are very unreliable. In addition, the nature of these prompts would make it even more difficult. They're not writing essays, they're writing 70 characters.

[@ajwildridge935]

Loved the video. One thing I will say is that true agency in an MMORPG game is an untested realm of AI research. What you are describing is currently very far from where we are currently. Currently we have AI which are great at performing specialized tasks. True AGI which can perform any task is not here and it's no knowing when that will be. Being able to fully play OSRS (or any MMORPG) would be an incredibly hard learning objective. I'm not saying this is impossible, and there is research that suggests it might (see Gato by Deepmind), but one might temper their expectations. It might be 20 years before you have pk bots that can also boss and trade stuff on the GE and do quests with you and do minigames. :) Excellent take though because in my opinion this is definitely the route MMORPGs will go eventually. Everyone knows that a dead MMORPG isn't fun to play in.

[@gytux0258]

An MMO populated exclusively by fake people also seems not fun.

[@PureOptic]

Bots can actually be a good thing to exist in the game. There's a lot of things in the game that depend on them (dead minigames, better player interaction, etc) and I think a lot of good examples were mentioned towards the end. It could be used for bad (of course), but it could also breathe new life into the game. It's a very interesting concept that's basically unavoidable at this point.

[@mixuaquela123]

AI will revolutionize questing. Rn when you're doing a quest, you have to take predetermined actions, and interact with NPCs in predetermined ways. But AI would allow you to solve problems in unexpected ways, you could have completely unique conversations with NPCs, the AI could evaluate and respond to anything you say and do. You won't need to have a quest helper open as there won't be a "right" way of doing it.

[@Phininx]

would be a good idea to show its a bot. You got enough people that like taking a npc as a companion then on their qeusts if asked to a GPT bot from Jagex itself. It gives so much more possibilities to the game and opens up new ways of replaying the game even from start with this mechanic. Perfect for people that wanna play semi solo with bots
