AI NPCs you can actually talk to arrive in GTA V: in-character voice replies in ~1 second

- What it does: Walk up to any NPC in GTA V's Los Santos, speak into your mic, and the NPC answers in character with a cloned voice about 1 second after you stop talking — and acts on what you say (e.g. telling Trevor to get in the car).
- Source: An article by Universal Mod HQ explaining how to build talkable AI NPCs in any game.
- Why it matters: A full pipeline of voice cloning + real-time conversation + behavior changes running inside an open-world game with 1s latency, with an approach claimed to be portable to other games.
