I'm not sure how I feel about AI chatbots as NPCs. On one hand, it does add near infinite dialogue options and flexibility to adapt to what a player does. That's super cool and immersive.

On the other hand, it feels so damn lazy. Like I want to play games with dialogue/story as an art form, not as a "how much time can I spend here"

I think it's pretty cool. The game does have a lot of pre-written dialogue as well, so it's just an additional interaction you can have with NPCs. It also does require a detailed backstory, motivations, personality etc to be written for each NPC you can chat with, so I wouldn't exactly call it lazy.
