So DF is largely CPU-bound game that hardly uses GPU. And most AI generative algorithms run on GPU. Putting those two thing together, I think it would be nice if DF could use some sort of a GPT-based algorithm to generate conversations instead of the preset one we all know too much. It wouldn't even have to be the newest billion bajillion parameters GPT, I think even something like GPT-2 would provide decent enough results. Of course older conversation system would remain as a fallback for computers which can't support even GPT-2 and maybe for quest-givers, but ability to chat naturally with NPCs would be really cool.

The general consensus seems to be that it’s a bad idea.
