While OpenAI’s language program is there to generate AI-powered responses to your questions, people online have started enlisting Chat GPT to help with their tabletop campaigns. What’s old is new again, and the early AI’s used to play chess are evolving again with the new advancements in AI.Ĭhat GPT can’t make games, but it could potentially play a tabletop RPG with you. Development is also underway to merge Stockfish with a neural network, which is already showing strong results and could make the world’s smartest chess engine, even smarter. Not only is Stockfish free, but it’s open-source as well. I’m just kidding, but one of the first AI programs created specifically to challenge human players was chess, and with the game having a renaissance as of late, why not check out what is currently regarded as one of the best AI-powered Chess players online? Have you heard about this game called “Chess”? It’s this cool game that draws thousands of viewers on Twitch every day. This freedom, like the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation, is one way AI could unshackle NPCs and enemies as the technology develops. And as the game continues, these persistent, procedurally-generated Nemesis will become an original rival character to you, grown completely organically within the game, and not scripted by the developers. This AI system turns lowly enemies who may have killed the player at some point into strong rivals who grow in rank and power each time they defeat you. Rather than having a ready-made enemy like the Xenomorph hunt you down, players in Shadow of Mordor have a chance of creating their own worst enemy with the Nemesis System. Also released in 2014, Shadow of Mordor takes a different approach to AI than Alien: Isolation. Another well-known game that offers a glimpse of how a more advanced AI could upend gaming is Monolith Productions’ Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor.
