You might still think that AI is nothing more than a bunch of computer programs and algorithms, but oh, how wrong you would be! AI is capable of performing amazing feats, such as analyzing vast amounts of data in mere seconds, predicting future events, and even bringing video game characters to life!
Yes, you heard that right! With the power of AI, video game characters can become more than just lines of code and pixels on a screen. They can become living, breathing (well, virtual breathing, anyway) entities with personalities, emotions, and even a sense of humor!
Imagine, if you will, your favorite video game character stepping out of your computer screen and into your living room. Picture them interacting with you, cracking jokes, and maybe even helping with the dishes (hey, it could happen!).
Thanks to AI, characters from the hugely popular game GTA San Andreas, a title that’s almost two decades old, have come to life. Behold:

In the legendary GTA San Andreas game, you play as Carl Johnson, or “CJ” for short, a gang member who returns to his hometown of Los Santos after his mother’s murder. As you might expect, chaos ensues. CJ finds himself embroiled in gang warfare, corrupt cops, and all manner of nefarious activities. It’s like a soap opera on steroids!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a GTA game without some good old-fashioned vehicular mayhem. In San Andreas, you can steal cars, planes, and even tanks!
But perhaps the most entertaining aspect of San Andreas is the sheer amount of absurdity packed into the game. Want to parachute out of a helicopter while blasting “Ride of the Valkyries” and mowing down rival gang members? Go for it! Want to strap on a jetpack and fly to the top of a skyscraper? You can do that too! San Andreas is a virtual playground of wacky, over-the-top antics.
