    S7 E9: Up Late - Naturally Unintelligent

    We take a DEEEEEEP dive into artifical intelligence in the video game industry, from the AI that drives enemy and NPC behaviour through to the mechanics of your avatar moving through a virtual landscape. We also cover the introduction of deep learning and generative AI and how that has and will continue to impact both the way we play games, and the way games are made. Finally, we cover the eponymous ChatGPT and its Large Language Model brethren - the tool that put AI into family dinner table discussions into a couple of years ago, and how it's revolutionalising the way we interact with video games.
