This GTA 5 story mod shows the wild potential – and problems – of AI-powered NPC conversations
What if you could patrol the streets of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto 5 and freely speak to the inhabitants? And what if they could actually talk back to you with authentic-feeling custom dialogue?
That’s the aim of Sentient Streets, a new story-based GTA 5 mod by veteran mod creator Bloc, available now on NexusMods.
In it, players take on the role of a rookie cop investigating a conspiracy in Los Santos concerning the rise of AI. Back in real life, meanwhile, it’s AI that powers the mod’s conversations with NPCs throughout the world.
