We’re hitting rewind to July 2023, when Larry, Chris, and RAINA explored the emerging world of AI-powered gaming, from conversational NPCs and AI-assisted game development to the implications for human creativity. Three years later, we’re revisiting their predictions, examining how the technology has evolved, and catching up on five fresh AI news stories that reveal just how much the game has changed!
Archival note: This episode was originally recorded on July 25, 2023, and is presented largely unedited; some predictions, statistics, and descriptions of emerging technologies were speculative and possibly inaccurate, reflecting the rapidly evolving AI landscape at the time.
