The application in games I'm most excited about is commenters in FIFA career mode that don't have a limited set of prerecorded voice lines, and ones that take your recent games (the recent installments already do, to a small degree), formation changes etc into account too, like real commentators would. Of course this would also easily open the doors to having multiple commentators/analysts to choose from, each with their individual "personalities". The technology for that is pretty much all already there right?
A game like Fallout/Elder Scrolls with AI generated NPCs and questlines would be so sick too if executed well.
Maybe for side quests but even that would be a debug hell.

There is a mod for Skyrim where someone piped together multiple AI models. It goes like this: You speak into your microphone and ask a NPC something. This gets transcribed (voice to text) by Whisper AI. This transcript gets send to eg. GPT-4 with a pre-prompt engineered to give background, current information and the "personality" for the NPC you are talking to. The output of this gets piped back to a Text-to-Speech solution like eleven-labs with the original NPC voice.
I've seen an example and the weakest link seemed to be the TTS, which sounded several generations behind.

Do you seriously think D&D and other choose your adventure games will be more popular than porn? Seriously?

If they also include porn, maybe.
Did you try AI Dungeon before OpenAI killed it?
Yes, people used it for porn.
But I can easily imagine more conventional forms of entertainment, as well. Like a game of D&D that's narrated by the AI, or a text based adventure set in the Mass Effect universe, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer or any other fandom, really. Maybe like those old Choose Your Own Adventure games.
I think some companies are also experimenting with characters in video games that get their dialogue from these models - where the developers give the character a persona, provide information about events in the world and let players interact with them, like the Detective Origins demo. Of course, due to the slightly unpredictable nature of these models and their hardware requirements, no idea how viable this will be.
