What this market actually measures

The "AI-generated dialogue" is any dialogue generated live during play using artificial intelligence, such as GPT-4. If the developers of a game say that their scripts were co-written or fully written with AI beforehand, this would not count. Mods do not count, only the game as released by the developers. "dialogue" means the text/words must be live-generated by AI, and would not resolve just to deepfaked audio/voice if the text is not live-generated by AI (for example, if the text is generated by players, or was written by the developers). To make verification easy for whether a game is "critically acclaimed" I will check Wikipedia's section for 2026 games that won awards at awards shows or achieved high scores from Metacritic (i.e. 90+).
