I’m assuming you’re using LLM or other similar generative AI, but (not that I’m going to do it) could you look a bit around “self created” AI? Or something? Like, I could see throwing something in with a small language model, or something like ELISA.

Hi! :) To keep things simple, we decided to go with "no neural networks whatsoever". And yes, that includes models self-trained on your own data and your own data only. Anything rule-based, like ELIZA or e.g. behavior trees, is allowed. When in doubt whether your game fulfills these criteria or not, don't hesitate to ask again.
