How is AI used to create generative realities and NPCs in gaming?

AI helps games create generative realities and NPCs, which are like pretend people or worlds that change and react to you in fun ways.

Imagine you have a toy box full of different toys, cars, dolls, blocks. Now imagine AI is like a super clever kid who can pick any toy from the box and make up new stories with them every time you play. That's how generative realities work, the game uses AI to build new worlds or situations that feel fresh and exciting.

How NPCs are Like Smart Friends

NPCs, short for non-player characters, are like smart friends in the game who can talk, move around, and even learn from you. Think of them like a robot dog you train at home, the more you play with it, the smarter it gets!

AI teaches these NPCs to understand what you're doing and respond in creative ways, just like how your friend might start a new game if they see you’re having fun. This makes the game feel alive and full of surprises!
