The Collision of AI and Blockchain Games: Exploring New Possibilities in the Metaverse

The year 2023 is destined to leave a significant mark in the history of human civilization. At the beginning of the year, the emergence of GPT brought the long-silent AI industry back into the global spotlight. On June 6, Apple Inc. released the mixed reality headset Apple Vision Pro, injecting new momentum into the development of the Metaverse.

The breakthroughs in AI technology and the upgrades in hardware devices provide a solid foundation for the realization of the Metaverse. Humanity's exploration of the virtual world has a long history, from science fiction novels to movies, we have always imagined the possibilities of another world. Today, these imaginations are gradually becoming a reality.

The core experience of the Metaverse is not just about the realism of the virtual environment, but more importantly, social interaction and personal feedback. The incorporation of AI can greatly enhance this aspect of the experience. For example, AI-driven NPCs can enable more natural and fluid conversations, providing users with a more authentic social experience.

The combination of AI and games has already led to several mainstream application directions:

1. Players can interact with exclusive AI NPCs, cultivating their personality and knowledge system through dialogue.

2. Achieve interoperability of games, applying well-trained AI data to other games.

3. Players can become AI trainers and enhance the abilities of AI NPCs through dialogue.

4. Use AI to generate game environments and scenarios, creating a more diverse and random gaming experience.

5. Create a player co-created AIGC Metaverse to achieve a truly open script.

During this year's Token2049 in Singapore, some teams showcased innovative cases of AI + blockchain gaming. Among them, Gabby World left a deep impression.

Gabby World is a fully on-chain autonomous world led by humans and self-generated and evolved by AI. In this world, players can create characters and scenes through natural language descriptions. AI is not only a powerful production tool but also a catalyst for inspiring human creativity.

Unlike traditional games, Gabby World does not have a preset script. All historical processes are conceived by humans and then autonomously evolved by AI. Players shape their AI character Gabby by writing prompts, giving it unique personality, skills, and equipment. These on-chain prompts will become an immutable character history.

Gabby World also features Gabby Land NFT as production materials. Landowners can use AI to generate various themed scenes, inviting other players to explore and experience. Events in the game will be generated as permanently recorded NFTs, enhancing the sense of participation and permanence.

This new type of game mode gives players tremendous creative space while containing infinite possibilities. It is not just a game; it resembles an experimental field where one can observe the evolution of AI society.

The combination of AI and blockchain games is opening up a new world full of imagination. In the future, we may be able to gain life experiences multiple times that of the real world across different Metaverse timelines, using AI to quickly simulate various social development processes. The Metaverse empowered by AI will become a brand new social platform and lifestyle, infinitely expanding the breadth of life.

Although the true arrival of the Metaverse is still some time away, we are already standing on the threshold of a new era. With continuous technological advancements and the relentless efforts of innovators, a more colorful virtual world is approaching us. The future has arrived, and let us wait and see.
