Perhaps we should just create an AI and gaming sticky, but with all of the interesting AI innovations being announced and discussed this year, I continue to get caught up in the hype around AI tech that appears to make AI-generated conversations with NPCs viable/possible.
The latest article discusses Stanford University's Hyena Hierarchy, a technology for relating items of data (words or pixels in a digital image). The technology can reach similar accuracy in benchmark AI tasks as current large language models like ChatGPT, but with as little as 100 times less computing power:

In previous posts I have made on my enthusiasm for AI tech, several people have (rightfully) pointed out that it would not be feasible to have AI-generated conversations with NPCs in games for a number of reasons, with the computing power that is needed to run large language models being a significant barrier.
Admittedly, I have no real frame-of-reference for "100 times less computing power," but the fact that an innovation like this is already in development has me hyped for AI-generated conversations with NPCs. As always, please feel free to tell me to "slow my roll." But, I really enjoy the regular occurrence of interesting news on AI tech developments that promise more immersive video games.
