Recently, I've talked a lot about the #AI of #TheLastOfUs franchise. But I wondered, does #ChatGPT have any idea how it works? And the answer is, well... no.

![Testing Joels AI in the TLoU2 Museum Level | AI and Games Plus
In The Last of Us Part II, theres an entire ambient AI system built into the game designed to help Joel and other non-player characters (NPCs) to move around when not in combat. But did you ever notice it in action? We take a look at how this system behaves in the very level the developers Naughty Dog used to test it: the museum flashback at the end of chapter 2.

If you watched episode 69 of AI and Games, all about training an AI to write a YouTube episode, you might want to try it out yourself.
In this video, I give an overview of a tutorial written in Google Colab that is inspired by how I trained my text model, to let you try it out yourself.
Here are some useful links:
