Define "realness". If you mean "can pass a Turing test", that really isn't so hard anymore and isn't a good measure anyway, because if you built a robot who's sole purpose is to pass a turing test - to converse with an examiner. What you probably end up with a robot that can talk well, but is no more sentient than a machine built for hoovering the carpet or playing chess.
The word AI is also far too often associated with "strong AI", AI so effective and so general that it's hard to refute the possibility the AI is actually sentient, it thinks, it speaks it solves problems, learns and creates new ideas. When actually AI exists in many forms, weak AI that exists as purely digital systems that sort data, or firmware to help calculate an aircraft's numerous control surfaces, based on gross command inputs from the pilot. To general AI that can carry out complex tasks and learn new tasks and tricks form trial and error, but is still not sentient.
AI of varying levels are employed by the Avali throughout their tech, most of it very minor and specialised (ie. controlling lighting, power distribution, security etc in a habitat). More advanced AI would cover things like drones and medical robots, which have the framework needed to carry out complex, but specialised tasks based on simple user input ("Loosen these bolts, remove this maintenance panel. Wait for my next input once I've seen inside"), or personal assistants and protocol drones that can provide reminders, instruction or assist in day to day tasks. These are pretty much general AI's, but are still far from "alive".
Probably the most interesting application of AI I envision the Avali using is as data parsing in tandem with their neural augmentation and Nexus link. A suitably augmented individual could pass requests to an "assistant AI" which takes recent input (ie an unfamiliar word), and pulls up a suitable article explaining it, or examine the inventory manifests and determine if an engineer has the component he needs to carry out repairs; even offering to autonomously place requisition orders for the missing parts if needed.
what i meant was how sentient can Avali make AIs?
all i want is for a group of AI to play DnD and make an animated show of it '~'
