I just want a game where I get to name my character after myself and the voice-acted NPCs use AI to dub my name into their lines instead of awkwardly avoiding using names.
What you linked is not representative of what you said. That’s a patent for a very specific technique in AI navigation. Not anything to do with NPCs feeling anything.
Additionally, looking into it. This headline is a bit sensationalized it’s a patent for one method, not for the concept. “A computer-implemented method of generating speech audio in a video game is provided. The method includes inputting, into a synthesiser module, input data that represents speech content,” it’s method is a bit generic and might be challenged. Overall there are other ways of doing it though.
I could see people who became deaf-mute using it. Apple has Personal Voice for iOS that allows people who are losing their voice to use it to connect to their loved ones.
