Wish they would instead use it to create NPCs with actual depth and the ability to respond more naturally instead of the same lines over and over
That's definitely one of the ways it's going to be applied.
The bigger challenge is union negotiations around voice synthesis for those lines, but that will eventually get sorted out.
It won't be dynamic, unless live service, but you'll have significantly more fleshed out NPCs by the next generation of open world games (around 5-6 years from now).
Earlier than that will be somewhat enhanced, but not built from the ground up with it in mind the way the next generation will be.

It's interesting how this plays. Maybe check some let's plays to get a feel. But this could become a very cool way to interact with games.
Reviews definitely don't paint a good picture of it.
Yeah, game devs apparently did some shit, but that's not the point. Look up some let's play of it and see how you like the interaction.
