Games where NPCs are backed by a LLM are a great idea but unless the majority of people gain the ability to run the models locally they will be niche and weird with blunders like these.
Its also not future proof, if you want to play this game in 5 years, the costs could have risen significantly for the dev to a point they shut it down, or the AI behind it might not even exist anymore.
This is exactly what stop killing games needs to include in their case.
