Right, normal NPCs are written by people.
These NPCs would have to be written by people too. Otherwise you'd just get ChatGPT. Depending on complexity, it might even require more writing work.
I like to think writers pour their souls into their work. LLMs are an amalgamation of other people's work not the work of a person creating a character. Your argument is NPCs don't have souls, obviously that's an objective truth. I'm just saying give me the SOUL.
Again, the character would still be written and defined by a human writer, pouring their soul into it just like they would a "dumb" NPC. I don't see how that "soul" is lost by giving that human-written character the capability to naturally respond to language.
This is exhausting. I don't think LLMs are capable of making a captivating enough character. Nothing I've seen thus far has led me to believe they have the capacity for creativity. That is what I consider soul.
Which I believe people and only people can achieve at this moment in time.
