    Are gamers really surprised by this?

    Suddenly, a lot of the gullibility around "AI" is starting to make more sense.

      I didn't even think about it, but now that I see it, it's a clever solution to the problem at hand. If 99.9% of players are not going to care or see the trick, it's fine.

      Lmao right?

      I literally feel like chatgpt-like AI is basically just a thing rewording google searches to sound human

      Ehich i guess is a thing for making it make sentences that sound human, but not " intelligent"

      We're talking about people who would willingly not only play but pay a game from a game developer whose last good game is over two decades old at this point. Of course they'll be the rubiest of rubes.
