Nvidia's ACE AI Could Transform Gaming Interaction

Here's how Nvidia's ACE AI could transform gaming interaction. Nvidia has been a key player in the growing AI market. During their Computex June 2024 Keynote, it shared details on how it plans to integrate AI into its video game portfolio. Following a hands-on demo of ACE powered Covert Protocol and the brand new NIMs and SDK, the landscape for game NPCs, interaction, dynamism, and scale could be larger than we think. We dive into the tech, how it works, what has changed, and just how it could transform our games.

[@Untilitpases]

Issue is most AI bots sound alike, and their relation to knowledge is one of our world, not the artifical one of the game. There should be an intelligence + style + eloquence + intensity slider spread around a gaussian curve. Your ramen maker shouldn't not just have an opinion on molecular biology or 15th century pottery, they should mock and scoff at similar attempts. Also, their 15th century needn't look like ours or even exist. That's the difference between a convincing conversation and a talk with your run of the mill bot.

[@Drstrange3000]

For all the marketing hype around this kind of AI, it makes the games look more lifeless instead of adding to the realism. People don't have conversations like this. AI like this misses out on body language and context .

[@kabelfritz]

not sure if this is gonna speed up game developement that much, unless you use AI for lazy jobs of a quality level that will stand zero chance on the market as soon as the work of great AI artists sets the bar. but on topic: instead of writing the lines of a character, writers now will have to develope "personality algorhithms" in which AI moves for any given character. it might even be more difficult than old-school writing.

[@thombrosis]

A new genre unto itself, but certainly not a replacement for authored writing. Sometimes it's fun to do an escape room. Sometimes you just want to watch a play with a specific artistic voice.

[@brandonenke2680]

Why not both? Who says you can't have this and an author written story too.

[@cirescythe]

AI Can absolutely replace current day authors. Only thing writers bring to the board other than hamfisted activism and grammatical errors, are limited dialogue options.

[@yhnoh89]

That's it. I'm calling it. The majority of us, if not all the "humans," in this "world" are all npcs

[@TechnoEsoterica]

Honestly it's going to be an amazing and wonderful time to be a gamer. RPGs are going to be so amazing when you can talk with the villagers and learn about their lives and talk your way out of trouble with the guards and into trouble with the bandits.

[@damienjohn]

Games are amazing because the storytelling is bespoke and deliberate, when you hand that over to an algorithm to generate on the fly it becomes far less interesting or meaningful. Not to mention it's spitting in the face of writers and voice actors.

[@cirescythe]

Yea would be cool. But recession, poverty and war it will be instead.
