Living in the golden age of AI kinda sucks. At first it was interesting to have these new tools to play around with, but then people start using it on things that definitely shouldn’t use AI
In the 1980’s DC’s Legion of Superheroes (set in the future) basically played D&D around a computer and presumably with AI. So this time, the Simpsons didn’t predict it first.
Ever since I started studying AI back in 2015, this has been my #1 interest and end goal for AI.
I don’t think LLMs are quite good enough for what I want yet, but in a few years I think we may be there.
I really don’t understand why anyone would be complaining about this. No one is going to force you to use it. You can still run your own campaigns, this will just be an amazing tool to make it more accessible to new players, and take a lot of the work off of a DM that doesn’t have the time or want to put in the effort.
Imagine being able to select a setting and a ruleset, and having an AI generate an entire campaign for you along with music, location art, character art, etc, then be able to handle the rules for you, track your stats and equipment, etc and maybe even generate art for cool moments when you roll a crit.
It’s currently a great tool for a DM. I always end up being the DM for my groups and I’ve really enjoyed using LLMs and Art generators as tools, but if I could have a competent AI DM run the game for us so I could play, I would be SO happy.
This is amazing, and the negative response just seems like elitist, gatekeepy, crotchety bitter old man syndrome.
Exactly. I’ve been using AI (mainly ChatGPT and Midjourney) for my current campaign and it’s great. While I make up most of the campaign myself, ChatGPT is like a supercharged contextually aware DM app. “Come up with a monster that would fit x situation”, “make up a riddle for the players”, “what do the rules say about x?” and so on. It’s like having another person to discuss the creative choices with, but that person is an expert that knows every rule, monster, place and so on.

Less of a golden age, more of a golden shower age.
Oh for God’s sake.

Next up, people flip out because their baulder gate enemies make actions without another person’s input!
