Starcraft bot battling was a thing before gen AI took off.

suppose I could have phrased things more clearly. No, a friend was working on the original ingame non-player AI, using gen AI to work on the addon for civilizations 5. I wouldn’t be interested in making an RP bot myself, however in terms of content having dynamic AI chatbot based wandering NPCs which respond to what players are doing, would be a good addition to the game vs how the NPCs work now. Either Blizzard doing it themselves, or opening it up to the community to allow them to pay a sub and run an approved RP bot.

Brings me great joy seeing Ukainians on the threadiverse despite the uh, heavy opposition presence here
