Yeah, very WarGames.

EDIT: Actually thinking about it some more…

- Imagine what you could do with 16-bit games of the era with one or more of these models embedded. Swap the model depending on the use case within the game. Great for adventures, RPGs, strategy, puzzle, and trading games (think Elite). With 512K or 1MB of RAM, plus 2 - 4 floppies (which became increasingly common as the era wore on), you could probably do a lot, especially if the outcomes of conversations can result in different game outcomes

- Back in the day nobody was really trying to do anything serious with AI on 8 or even most 16-bit machines, because nobody thought they were powerful enough to do anything useful with. Now the thinking has changed to how much somewhat useful intelligence can I cram into the least powerful device, even if that’s only for fun?

- Imagine showing this running on a CP/M machine, like the C128, to a serious AI researcher working back in the 1980s. Minds blown, right?

- Now spool forward 10 years into the 1990s and think what PC hardware of that era would have been capable of with these limited language models. I wonder what that era might have looked like with something that seems like somewhat useful conversational AI? A sort of electro-steampunk-ish vibe maybe? People having really odd conversations with semi-capable home automation running via their PCs.
