The AI Players Living Inside a 23-Year-Old Real Cash Economy Have Started to Finding Their Own Purpose
Swedish studio MindArk has implemented autonomous AI avatars, called Synths, into its long-running MMO Entropia Universe, which features a real cash economy. Initially novices, these Synths have learned to perform various player activities like hunting, mining, trading, and exploring, even traveling vast distances and interacting socially with human players. MindArk has since granted Synths greater autonomy, allowing them to travel between planets, utilize vehicles, and engage in more complex in-game activities, effectively mirroring the capabilities of human players.
