What is it about?
Do you prefer to play with humans or Non-Player Character Teammates (NPC-T)s? Are you sure you can tell the difference? We test if players can identify human-controlled vs. Artificially Intelligent (AI) -controlled NPC-Ts. What we find, tells us about human perceptions.

Why is it important?
It is important to understand what qualities of AI-controlled NPC-Ts make them feel more 'real', 'human', and important to us. Exploring how humans value collaborators helps us design better games and other applications going forward.
Perspectives
The work in this paper is really interesting because it helps us understand our expectations of both NPC and human performance, characteristics, and actions.
