Eve Online's new in-game chatbot "is not generative AI," but I'd still rather ask randomers for advice

There's something special about MMOs. Unlike other multiplayer titles, they consistently create that sense of community; that feeling of homeliness. Final Fantasy 14 does it the best: I've spent many a day whiling away the hours chilling and chatting in Limsa Lominsa, and when I was a little sprout (new characters have a green plant icon next to their names, hence 'sprout') I had random players approach me offering tips and tricks, and in one instance, a pretty cool mount. That organic mixing of people doesn't happen in other games - you jump on League of Legends with your pre-established pals, you don't really make friends typing in the chat. In MMOs you're either helping, or being helped, by real people, and that's how I'd argue it should stay. CCP, however, has different ideas for Eve Online. Read the rest of the story...
