Dear Mike
Well to tell you the truth while I don't like to admit it most of the time, but when I think about it I can't really deny it I am gamer BIGTIME. I believe the application of AI in video games is kind of frivolous "kind of." There is so much more out there that could benefit from AI. The thing that fascnates me so much about AI is I believe it can help mankind in so many ways. As a matter of fact I was wondering if one would be able to some how purchase one of those highly sophisticated AI programs your talking about are any of these on the market yet.

Dear David,
this is a very interesting question, but in computer games research, that is not exactly what people want. For games, it is important that
the player gets the impression that 'it could be so'. The character has to be 'believable' (this is one of the current buzz-words in this area). It may even be the case that intuitively, players realize that the NPC is not 'really' intelligent. But they may appear sufficiently intelligent not to fall out of the immersion into the game the player wants to keep. So the player 'works' in our favor if we give him some 'food'. And I'm sure contemporary AI of all different flavors can contribute to that.
Best, Mike
