I can see it now:

AI-NPC: "Thank God you were there to help us!"
PC: "I thought this game didn't have gods?"
AI-NPC: I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that there are no gods in this setting

It's interesting, but the real question is if using the AI adds enough value and saves enough time to compensate for the loss of control and creativity and the added complexity of training the AI and customising it for each NPC

It might eventually be an option, but you'd have to be able to limit the AI to only the information an NPC would have, and you'd have to somehow adapt the AI to serve the function the NPC has within the game. I feel like it'll be a long time before AI will become a viable option.
