AI ATC and GCI Mod?

[Dangerzone]

Just brainstorming here, but after using Overlordbot (which has been one of the most immersive DCS experiences I first had when introduced to DCS), it got me wondering. With the modern age of chatbots, etc - how hard would it be to incorporate what was used with overlordbot and extend it to AI instead of fixed phrases - and potentially get it to also handle ATC.  I've just tried chatGPT 'chat' with voice (which apparently isn't even the new version that's coming out soon) and was impressed by the conversation I can have with it. 

Is AI in it's current form capable of ATC and GCI with voice to voice, or is that sort of expectation out of AI still a little out of reach?

I don't have anything to do with MSFS, so guess if this was possible there'd already be AI ATC mods for that (unless it just does it so well, no AI mod is required)?

Pretty easy, but high quality voice recognition is not free. 

Windows quality speech to text had a lot of misses. I trained my computer to understand a lot of ATC phrases and give the proper responses, but understanding others players with other voices is challenging with free speech to text. 

I might complete the software when stt gets better.

The voice recognition side I think would be the easy easier part. It's already been done (RJ with Overlordbot did it years ago, so surely it can only be 'easier' from now on). (Speaking ignorantly as someone who hasn't done development in either area). I've been using Overlordbot for years. Yes- it has the occasional issue, but it's been fairly good for the most part. 

What do you mean by you might complete the software when stt gets better? Have you actually been doing development in this area already?

There is one and it’s amazing. Without digressing into discussions about another game, perhaps that creator (BeyondATC) could make a plug-in for DCS

Not just for ATC but all the radio comms in the game. It’s certainly doable the question is whether it would be profitable to make for a small game like this.

Some development is done, but high quality speech recognition requires paid subscriptions. I don't want that.

That other example isn’t a subscription. It’s just a purchased add-on. The quality looks second to none. Really amazing.
