Typically, players invest more time and energy in growth games than in other genres as they channel genuine emotions into them. However, the pets in traditional games function more like search engines, limited to interactions based on a predefined database. They lack the ability to make decisions, lack a sense of individuality and therefore, soulless... As they do not genuinely understand the player. Additionally, the ownership of the pet resides with the game company rather than the player. Consequently, these pets not only fail to comprehend the player, but they also do not truly belong to them.

Using AI+Web3 to build a personalized pet for the players

The impact of ChatGPT on everyday players in 2022 was truly significant. Every day, we witness the birth of thousands of applications based on ChatGPT. With its refined deep learning model, the open-source mode is gaining momentum, exploring larger-scale commercialization, and experiencing exponential growth in AI and AIGC expansion. By integrating digital pets with AI voice interaction, virtual personalities, and other AI technologies, creating AI-driven interactive and companionship environments will be a trend in the near future. We believe that the influence of AI on virtual gaming will be on par with the third industrial revolution, where:

1. AI-generated beings with souls and capable of thinking will become commonplace in future gaming.

2. AI will be responsible for generating BGM (background music), NPC (non-player characters), and storyline content.

3. Greatly enhance development efficiency and provide inspiration.

4. The unequal relationship among game characters, players, and game companies will undergo transformation.

PETGPT uses AI and Blockchain technology to empower users with complete control over their pets, and safeguarding their privacy during interactions. Additionally, PETGPT will incentivize users to continuously train their pets, fostering an intelligent and engaging pet companionship experience.
