How exactly does J.E.T.T.A. work? Short answer, efficiently. Long answer, she appears 2 of 4 times when the game is reset due to the fact that the game glitches if not reset twice. She also observes gameplay and rarely appears. She only appears mid-game if there is a bug or a visible sign of a player cheating.
J.E.T.T.A. (Junction Error Termination Tracking Assistant) is an advanced artificial intelligence that appears when an anomaly is detected in games. She detects bugs and stops them almost instantly. Her presence is accompanied by a beeping noise and a black screen stating "Error Detected. Please reset game." with her name visible in the bottom left corner. She is not limited to Street Wise: Roar of the Celestials. She has appeared in various other A.A.P. games.
What makes J.E.T.T.A different from regular AI? J.E.T.T.A does not speak or generate stuff, she is not a generative AI. She does not take up water or anything. She just does her simple job. Observing you, and making sure the experience stays pleasing and bug-free.
"Honestly? If J.E.T.T.A could talk like an actual, slop-making AI, she wouldn't have much to say. She does what she's programmed to do." -Adam Perry, CEO of A.A.P. Game Studio, lead programmer and director of Street Wise.
