I hate that ai just means llm now. ML can actually be useful to make predictions based on past trends. And it's not nearly as power hungry
Yeah, especially it is funny how people forgot that even small models the size of like 20 neurons used for primitive NPCs in a 2D games are called AI too and can literally run on a button phone(not Nokia 3310, something slightly more powerful). And these small ones specialized models exist for decades already. And the most interesting is that relatevly small models(few thousands of neurons) can work very well in predicting trends of prices, classify objects by their parameters, calculate chances of having specific disease by only symptoms and etc. And they generally work better than even LLMs in the same task.
Do you have an example of some games that use small neural networks for their NPC AIs? I was under the impression that most video game AIs used expert systems, at least for built-in ones.
Black and white used machine learning If I recall absolutely a classic of a game highly recommend a play if you never have. Dota 2 has a machine learning based ai agent for its bots. Tho I'm unsure if those are actually in the standard game or not.
Forza and a few other racing games though out the years have used ML to various degrees.
And hello neighbor was a rather infamously bad indie game that used it.
For a topical example arc raiders used machine learning to train its AI during development. Tho it doesn't run on the live servers to keep updating it.
For LLM examples where the wind meets is using small LLMs for its AI dialogue interactions. Which makes for very fun RP mini games.
I'm sure there's more examples but these are what I can think of and find off Google.
