Mhhh...
I wouldnt spam the game world with NPCs.
I think more in the scale of GTA 5 maybe amd it's population density.
At some point you will have heard all the funny bits and banter and the dialogues between npcs will devolve into nonsense.

My suggestions was more to make the NPCs seem more animate without touching the actual story developers crafted.
E.g. you get send on a quest but you want to try amd get all dialogues before going.
So you could spam the Interact-button. At one point (where it should loop) the NPC will become "AI-sentient" and question why you are asking it so much and to already go. The NPC already said to hurry or you'll miss the train.
Yes, devs could care fo have that included today without AI but with this tech they could get the really weird edge cases.
And the character designers could create a really detailed and fleshed out description for the NPC or class of npcs to have a specific personality.
