Title.

A.I. has become remarkably advanced over the past few years, and the technology is now being implemented on a mass scale across various industries worldwide. Some even say that the U.S is even in a new A.I. arms race against China. The point is that the technology is available, and it would be unique for Willard Developers to start implementing an audible A.I. generated voice unique to characters based on their in-game text.

Developers could also look at further integrating A.I. systems into the server and allowing for questing, NPC dialogues, shops, really, the possibilities are limited only by the engine itself. The plaza could benefit from NPCs engaging in random conversations or simply sitting or lying down, which would bring the world to life more than its current state. Random shops which could sell you things, and while yes, this would take the *player* aspect mostly out of it, we need to come to the reality that owning and running a shop usually isn't profitable at all, and more of a headache for both the owner and citizens alike who have to wonder if it'll even be open, or trying to track down an employee. Willard Networks already has an extremely diverse server, which sets it apart from other communities. Why not continue on this path of innovation in the HL2RP setting?

Also, please change AP days to Tuesday and Wednesday. The server is usually dead during the middle of the week, unlike during the end of the week, weekends, and the start of the week.

The best we are getting is an AI translation plugin that was developed by our french people from Echo One. Remember this is a 2006 game and the server is already packed to the brim with shit.

Putting chat bots in an RP server is not it chief.

Even if you didn’t integrate speech to A.I, in general NPCs with A.I dialogue, shops, and doing other tasks or filling other roles would be a nice touch to the sever. Given the fact that there isn’t much to do on it besides be a rebel or an oppressive CP.
 
You also forget to realize all of the modern video games you play outside of HL2RP likely share these features in some capacity.
 
I'd rather the entirety of HL2RP implode immediately never to be seen again than play one minute of whatever disgusting mockery of a roleplay experience you're peddling. I can't believe this is even being promoted with any kind of sincerity. This is abysmally out of touch and a disgustingly lazy solution to "fix" the MAIN PULL OF A ROLEPLAY SERVER.

Shops do not require AI to be automated (see Synapse). NPCs on plaza were already a thing and they sucked.

They don't. It's one thing to have NPCs and another to try to replace Citizens with AI chat bots.
 
I absolutely do NOT want to come off as rude here. I apologize in advance if I do.

I personally despise the usage of AI, especially in a Roleplay environment. It absolutely destroys and all forms of creativity, and I myself have encountered many people constantly alt tabbing to use ChatGPT for their /me's. I'm sick of it.

And also about the Voices part - why rely on AI for voices? You have an entire community of people playing the server. Ask one of them if they want to do it. I'd do it for free, as long as there's no AI slop.

This point has nothing to do with a Half Life Roleplay server on a 2006 game.

That is also absolutely not true. The past week I've had incredible roleplay nearly the entire time I've been on, and I've never been in both.

Monday has always been good to have AP. Day after the weekend just ended and people go to work or school again. I personally would not have any energy. Tuesday is there for steam maintenance. I feel like AP isn't a problem, at all, and shouldn't be touched.

I will forever bring up this tweet.

I can't wait for someone to talk to a A.I. Civil Protection NPC and trick it into saying a slur or to ERP with them
