Some argue that as computing costs fall by a factor of 100 to 1,000 every 18 months, it may soon be feasible to use AI to simulate human-like players to populate MMO worlds.

UnverifiedHistorical data indicates that inference costs for emerging AI capabilities typically decline by 50%–80% within 18–24 months.72% similarUnverifiedFrom OpenAI's first reasoning model to the next generation of models, AI inference costs have declined by two to three orders of magnitude within two years, while performance has improved significantly.71% similarUnverifiedMany AI vendors' premium subscriptions operate at a loss, because each large language model inference requires matrix computations across billions to hundreds of billions of parameters, with costs growing linearly or even super-linearly with usage.69% similarUnverifiedPure AI testing solutions have three major practical pain points: output randomness, high token consumption costs, and slow execution efficiency.68% similarUnverifiedA single AI inference request consumes little electricity, but because requests number in the billions, the cumulative energy consumption may exceed that of training itself.67% similar
