A new user-created Grand Theft Auto 5 mod lets players have real-time interactions with non-playable characters (NPCs) powered by artificial intelligence—and the conversations range from relatively normal to completely unhinged. 

“Each of these characters have very distinct personalities. And depending on which one you choose and how you play in your playthrough, they’re going to react completely different,” pseudonymous mod developer Bloc explained in a YouTube video demonstration. 

Bloc told Decrypt that he was partly inspired to make the “Inworld Sentient Streets” mod for Rockstar’s smash hit Grand Theft Auto 5 after he released AI mod videos on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and saw viewers complain about the mods and future of AI. Bloc said that critics had called such language learning models (LLMs) a “gimmick” when applied to gaming.

“I disagreed with that idea, but just disagreeing wasn’t enough,” Bloc said. “So I wanted to prove it.”
