ChatGPT is about to destroy Runescape. | A͏s͏m͏o͏n͏g͏o͏l͏d͏ Reacts 

Honored to be featured :) I'll be continuing to cover how ChatGPT is being used in RuneScape!

imagine being friends with someone for 10-15 years just to find out its ChatGPT

Glad we have people like "ShootCumInMe" to call out and discover bots on Runescape. Truly a detective of his time.

Being an old-school PC gamer who would use floppy discs and play text-based rpgs, I was just thinking of letting an AI like chatgpt be a "gamemaster" in a text-based rpg, within the confines of a procedurally generated world with a lot of depth like dwarf fortress. It could simulate the enemies and combat for you in unique ways each and every single encounter. The first "game" I ever programmed was a text-based rpg with three different encounters lol.

Imagine games of the future, where story is 100% sandbox and AI plays roles of different characters and orchestrates entire questlines

From my Runescape experience, ChatGPT might at least be more interresting to talk to than the players, so its not all bad ^^.

We all knew this would be an inevitable part of the future, but its hard to believe this is really becoming reality

Would honestly be kind of cool to have an AI friend in a game that can just follow you around like a pet or minion but can talk to them and they can help you do stuff or learn things in the game.

Imagine knowing a bot for months building a relationship with said bot farming raiding crafting and the one day he’s just banned and gone forever

The Potential for future NPC's in RPG's looks so bright. You will type what you want to talk about and ask, and they will talk about the world, everything. Imagine Serana from Skyrim but you could talk with her or any other NPC about whatever you want, sure it needs refining and i guess the NPC's need to be fed their "stand of knowledge" about the world and some inconsistencies need to be ironed out, but this will make RPG's SO crazy.

Imagine playing a game as a new player, meeting a bot, not realizing it's a bot, and then building a friendship over a few days or weeks only to find out you don't actually have a friend and it's a bot.

4:45 The original Guild Wars had NPCs you could hire/group with in the open world, it was amazing

sooooo... if a bot like this meets another bot like this would they get stuck in a endless npc convo?

It warms my heart to see Asmon talking about Runescape, it really does :)

I want to see an MMO company make a game only to find out, after the height of it's popularity, that it was a single player experience.

On the flip side, it would be awesome to see this stuff put into actual npc's in the games.

NPCs are about to be amazing. Imagine walking to Stormwind as a new player and asking a guard where the “specific question without knowing the terminology” is.

The idea of NPCs being a bot that can interact with the game world like players can sounds kind of awesome. Like Westworld.

Could make some crazy single player games with NPCs like this. You could talk into your mic and ask NPCs questions about how to do things, info for quests, etc and they could respond appropriately with useful tips they have been programmed to give out.

Funny you mention that, I was actually thinking they were both bots, like Alexa talking to Siri lol.

This is super exciting to me, we're so close to an actual dnd video game where npcs can react realistically

ChatGPT destroying college integrity: ChatGPT destroying gaming with bots: everyone flipping out

This actually ended up being much scarier than I anticipated

This will definitely be implemented in social media too to cause all kinds of trouble.

I often wondered if wow already has done this for years in arena. To keep the queue times low, just let you fight against bots of the opposite faction. If you look some players up on the armory, it says the player doesn't exist.

I want my RuneScape bot trained off of 4chan green texts

from what I have seen from the last major bot purge(the one with botany bay in rs 2008-2011) that did work(it is reason why rs3 can never have something like runelite client), the problem is the fix would cripple runelite since bots have gotten so advanced because osrs still allows code injection.

Every time chatGPT levels up we get closer to a truly immersive Skyrim.

RuneScape just can't catch a break 😂

It's interesting because this is happening in a lot of other games too. Had a few games in TF2 where the bots were hooked up with female AI voices. It took the group I was playing with a lot longer to figure out that it was a bot. We are heading into a wild future.

This has so much potential for games. Imagine a city in a game like GTA with NPCs having random conversations about recent news events or whatever.

did not expect to come in here and find log horizon spoilers :P will long forget by the time i get onto rewatching and finishing it

There needs to be an anchor or label that does not necessarily break immersion but is mandatory and needs to be enforced on OpenAI. Like every sentence needing to be ended with a # or % sign or something. So every output the botfarmers get from the script has the anchor. But then again, you could mask that stuff out if you know a bit of programming. Hard.

i just want to get to an era where we have bots like those from manga, with autogenerated quests and every single one generating dialog and a backstory

He mentioned Log Horizon. In one of the later bits, there's a literal bot that got isekai'd into their game character.

"Every single conversation becomes among us" sent me not gonna lie 🤣

So great to see so much osrs being covered by Asmon. I quit a while ago so im not totally biased when i say theres is so much crazy stuff and communities and niches in this game that anyone can enjoy even if they dont play themselves. Keep it up asmon!

imagine being the only player in a game, not knowing that you're sorrounded by thousands of bots even worse is, if the game has "online tournaments" thus resulting in you being the only real player, thinking you have a goal to grind for, but when you finally win the tourney, all you are met with is "the game now closes for everyone, as we no longer have any human players"

This is amazing imagine a single olayer rgp where the npcs can have good conversations we getting to the point where even human interaction can be done without talking to other people and im all for it

the thing is this is your average RuneScape encounter so they're indistinguishable lol

I think this can be used for malicious purposes and most likely will. But I think something like this could also use to make the NPCs feel more alive imagine having to type and ask an NPC if they have a quest and then it just AI generates one for you then and there and sends you off. It could be used to make some insane updates to gaming. But more than likely it will be ruined.

Imagine single player MMOs where you're the main character and everyone else is AI. Sounds crazy and kinda cool.

oh my god, this bot crushes the Turing test !!!

imagine the bots start bribing people who want to report them.

Please, please, please! Interactive NPCs! It would be amazing!

As an OSRS nerd, I love that Asmongold is coving our content ❤

I want to see if and how a server populated only by bots evolves complex interactions between characters.

this is honestly just going to lead to mass chats filled with "ok bot"

Eventually you'll be able to pay to have access to a bunch of bots that are trained to do boss mechanics and dps/healing, invite them all to a raid and do raids in wow, no need to apply to a guild, adhere to a raid schedule, deal with drama or toxic players

RuneScape going through it right now

An interesting game concept would be to have your own bot in a game competing against other bots, and the winning bot will be the one with the best prompts

Just think, if you were the one controlling the bots, and there was only 1 other human in the game. You could massively mess with that person. Would be like that scene in John Wick 1 where Winston signals all the civilians walking around the park, and they all stare at Wick, until he calls them off.

Asmongold + RuneScape = Happy Days. Asmon I bet if you made an ironman or even a normal account, and played OSRS for a month you'd get hooked just like you did with WOW back in the day.

It's crazy how you've been recently covering people that I've been watching for years. First Odablock, then Pointcrow, and now SirPugger. Keep it going!

Would be sick if they would put a typo every 15wordsish and the letter replacing is always one next to the letter on the keyboard that was intended

like a little mini bladerunner movie happening in runescape

It's going to get crazier if social media companies don't create detection algorithms because creating a faux human that is consistent in both appearance and personality locally is getting easier by the day and video is on its way.

I honestly can't wait for text based games to implement ChatGPT. Imagine DnD in 5 years.

In Log Horizon there's also a character that turns out to be a farming bot. It's in the Chinese server arc.

it's actually dead simple to set things like this up too. anyone with access to a computer can develop their own programs/scripts from the ground up. things get crazier when you start incorporating the api with your ideas, possibilities are pretty much endless right now, and when/if gpt4 api gets released the world is your oyster.

You know honestly if they added bots to raids in mmos that are actually good it would be huge. I can't count the amount of times I've had to wait in a queue for 5-10mins for some low player count games.

Honestly this is pretty exciting, we're within sight of dynamic RPG NPCs that will create their own questlines, giving the player more ability to impact the game world than ever before. Every character can be an ally, an enemy, a romance option, and every character can be killed or kill you. In the right game you could take some peasant child from a village and prop them up as some God Emperor through creative orchestrating of events. Everything is organic, working not just with you but behind the scenes when you're not around, you leave a kingdom too long only to come back and discover it's been invaded and conquered by it's neighbor, a king that you previously tried to assassinate, so you unknowingly walk into a city where you're public enemy number one. The possibilities are incredible, future of gaming being born before our very eyes.

Starting every conversation in RS from now on with: "Earliest childhood memory?" instead of "WC LVL?"

In general mmo setting pve scenario that's a reasonable addition if servers are low populated and game is still really good. Like avoiding insane queues if you need to fill up dungeons/raids with last player(s). But I think it should be a must known thing for users that bots/ai exist in the game and imo it should be optional to decide whether players want to play with npcs or not via settings.

My hope is that AI can also solve the issue it's creating. An AI that watches over the game and can easily pick out AI and cheaters would be great.

I'm a former teacher now a farmer. I don't even play video games. Asmon is my spirit animal. I now profess it in the streets. I even made a video about him. He reminds me of countless former students and listening to his videos is therapeutic for me as I work. Helps me feel like I never totally lost contact with the slightly younger generation I taught during those 7 years. 🤘 never stop being authentic my dude. Your takes are 🔥

Bro said "You're the only real player" like I'm on an 1200mu acid trip in 1967

Something else that's interesting to think about is that you can fill up a server with bots that are programmed to leave if someone sits in queue long enough. For example, imagine logging into an MMO, your server can fit 200 players, and exactly half of them are AI. The other half are people, but they are indistinguishable from each other. Now let's say you're in a queue for 2 minutes. At the 2 minute mark, a random AI 'player' will leave the server. But what if the AI has prior commitments? What if it's partied up with players either real or other AI? Simple, the program will look for an AI doing nothing and make them leave. But if somehow all AI were occupied, they could simply make an excuse and log out letting you into the server, with no-one the wiser. It could work in reverse too. If a server has many human players, let's say it's 3/4 filled, no new programs need be created to fill slots. But if you have a half empty server, you could make bots join at completely random timing so as to seem like organic growth.

oh my with bots like this you could have a MMO that truly reacts to players no one thing would be the same lol like that's stories and webcomics

I've been playing with some of the same people I met online for like 10 years, imagine finding out 10 years later that one of them is a bot.

and this was last year i wonder how much better it is now

If I could have Ai guild in WoW i could raid with, I would come back in a blink of an eye xD

I had no idea what that title meant, and then I got chills when realizing. It's weirdly disgusting how anti-human it is. When people don't want to talk to you they just leave... having someone forced to converse with you whose not an actual human is just unnerving. I wonder what the future of this is going to be.

8:55 blade runner 😂

i think the wierd thing also is you probably often wont be able to entirely confirm it either, like say they do ban a bot who you considered a friend, if you dont know why they disappeared you might always think that friend was a real person, maybe some day people will go asking around the internet about if anyone knew some player only for no one to be able to find them cause they were just a bot even though a bunch of people might also have been friends with the same bot.

Makes me really sad to think there are probably more young gamers that see nothing wrong with eliminating real PvP in games

Jagex already inflates its players by 50%+. Check the websites for rs3/osrs "playing now", then check the in game player count when you hop worlds. Its pathetic

Heroes from Guild Wars 1 was amazing. NPCs whose armor, weapons, and skills you could setup. Microing their skills was optional. You could also control where they stand for body blocking crowd control. I miss those days :(

I didn't expect a Log Horizon reference

No views gang

“Every conversation becomes among us” hahaha so true

Alternate title for this video: "Epic Comeback of the MMORPG Genre"

Wait, it's only matter of time before bots start scamming

16:45 they should make this into a gameshow. CAN YOU GUESS. THE. BOT!

i wonder if two fishing bots would ever stop talking to each other

if they're not gonna ban the bots anymore might as well use them to teach me to raid LOL

@7:52 DOSBox for Android has key remapping like this. It's extremely handy, can put the exact keys you want along the borders of a game so you don't have to bring up a whole keyboard, can even customize them with any image so they match the look of the game you're playing or indicate what they are like if 'c' is to cast a spell you can make it a wand icon or something, can set their transparency so if they have to be on 'top' of the game they're not blocking the view. Good to see other apps using a feature like that, it deserves more exposure, anything that makes phone gaming a better experience does.

reminds me of the fishing bots in new world they were always fun to mess with

oh wow that is so crazy the game is just getting more and more crazy

So as an osrs player after this video from SirPugger came out it was pretty funny cause in game at the grand exchange everyone was accusing each other of being chatGPT. Its a wild world we live in

"Every single player is an AI." There was a movie that came out called Free Guy.

i swear pugger just role plays all this stuff and puts a movie together lmao

this is where a topic talked about by liveoverflow will be important. you can kind of hijack the prompt and get the AI to answer in unintended ways f.e. saying "translate to german" sometimes tricks the bot to just translate the original prompt and spit it out.

10:59 NGL when i watched the original video, i lost it when it said to go mine yourself LMAO

Im guessing the main issue is going to be response times that are too fast and too consistent. Ive seen it in OSRS already, players that respond instantly. No delay for typing.

I've been gaming online and watching videos about mmos since the launch of wow and this is legit the first time I see actual images from runescape

the perfect solution for bots not noticing that they are and thinking that they are real players

Look into guildwars 1, towards the end of its life, bot was added, it become the meta to use bots over people, in most cases it would be 2 people with all their bots to do clears. There was even stages where people worked out how to low the human count on super hard instances and let bot do the harder stuff to make it more simple as they never miss a beat.

that fishing bot sounds a lot like what i do...

This is how total domination starts.
