Which existed in the 90s

The graphics processor is busy doing graphics processing while playing a game. All supporting features of game development: logic, physics, npcs, only run on cpus.

Theoretically.

In practice, 95% of consumer GPUs are too busy and too small to run an LLM good enough for dialogue, or a decision model smart enough to be warranted over hardcoded logic.

CPUs are too slow. NPUs aren’t universal and are, unfortunately, all but useless with modern software frameworks.

I am very much for LLM NPCs; there are some fantastic mods for such things.

But in shipping games? That can’t be jank?

It is not time. And I would never buy a game with a hard cloud dependency for SP. We will have to get past the RAMpocalypse, at the very least.
