PUBG teammates not good enough? Nvidia's new generative AI-led 'Co-Playable Character' aims to offer you an alternative

pcgamer.com

Nvidia has announced a partnership with a handful of developers to create AI teammates, which is informed by Nvidia's own generative and responsive AI.

This is to say that the AI teammates here are a little more intelligent than those you may have come across before. AI that is used to dictate what NPCs do and what paths they take is generally fairly different to the AI used in creating images with six fingers and generating documents.

However, Nvidia is combining the two, alongside PUBG publisher Krafton to make PUBG Ally. This new AI system allows you to chat with an AI-led teammate, who can take orders and fire at enemies.

In the YouTube clip (via The Verge) showing it off, the player asks for some ammo and a better piece of armour, and the bot not only finds it and pings it, but says it has done so.

So far, so good. It is already more communicative than the average player I come across in PUBG. As well as this, the AI teammate spotted an enemy, let the player know, and laid down covering fire.
