ChatGPT and AI in Sims 5? New Article 4/11/23

Researchers at Google and Stanford used ChatGPT to generate human-like characters who live and interact in a contained, video game-like world called Smallville. Smallville features 25 characters with preloaded personas who wake up, go to sleep, make breakfast, interact with each other, and attend each other’s parties in an attempt to mimic human behavior as closely as possible. One popular AI observer likened the experiment to an early version of Westworld, though it's more like a video game demo where the characters' actions and dialogue are autogenerated by AI.

It would be fascinating to just sit back and observe them interact.
Life By You could also do that. Rod Humble said they enjoyed watching their sim-people interact, but I don't know if any ChatGPT type AI is behind their conversation system, but maybe they can probably expand on that down the line.
Oh yeah, this will be next generation stuff that will be key for emergent behavior and game play.
It's something TS4 really needs because nothing really interesting happens in this game unless you make it happen, especially between sims that you don't control.
The application here is in open-world environments and less about text-based conversation. It means that NPC, non-active agents have their action queues and movements around the town dictated contextually by AI rather than pre-programmed or probabilistic methods.

AI is also a program and it behaves in the parameters written into it. TS3 was meant to have intelligent sims who went to work and the community lots based on their interests, but it ended up being a big failure because every sim did just that. You went to the park in the morning and there was no one there because all sims were working, then in the evening they all went straight home and if you went to a bar everyone but the bartender was stuck in an elevator. They really need to add individual behaviour to sims and domino effects like if they don't fix their clocks then they might be late for work or school in the morning. Or if they get a promotion at work they might go out after work to celebrate instead of going straight home. All behaviour should be dictated by their traits, interests, likes and needs.
Exactly. The AI models should have seed parameters and simulate chain reaction domino effects like you describe. This is different from pre-programming rules or agent behaviors.
I had Sims going to various lots that I went to in Sims 3.
And just like in real life if you went somewhere during hours most Sims were at work, well, there were fewer Sims there.
The quantity that go to each lot is dependent on your computer so if your computer barely handles the game, you may not have many Sims out and about because that's the game trying to keep your game running smooth.
Until AI gets advanced enough and peoples' computers get powerful enough, I doubt Sims would be able to have each Sim run via AI based on current things happening and what not. I'd imagine that would be a lot of computing power to do that.
There were literally none most of the time and if anyone showed up they didn't stay long enough to start a conversation. My computer at the time wasn't a potato either. I don't care to know that there are sims doing stuff in parts of the world I am not currently visiting and computer issues doesn't explain why community lots don't have any other visitors. They need to do something about population density, I don't expect to see many sims while running about on the hills, but community lots need to have a minimum number of visitors to feel lively, like if you visit a restaurant it should attract at least a minimum number of hungry sims within that area.
You can meet them at a coffee shop and have a discussion while snacking on scones and coffee.
Imagine the surprises you might find about sims that had experiences that you missed while playing other sims.
Life Sims might actually resemble West World in 5-10 years.
