AI is better when I use it for item generation. It kicks ass at generating loot drops for encounters. All I really have to do is adjust item names if its not a mundane weapon. I do occasionally change an item completely cause its effects can get bland. But dont do much more than that.
That's because you're using AI for the correct thing. As others have pointed out, if AI usage is enforced (like in the article), chances are they're not using AI correctly. It's not a miracle cure for everything and should just be used when it's useful. It's great for brainstorming. Game development (especially on the indie side of things) really benefit from being able to produce more with less. Or are you using it for DnD?
Wait, LLM’s can play DnD? You mean…I might finally be able to play that game?!? Hurray!
Who needs friends when you can play with LLMs!
Right now the choice is Dark Soul bosses who are mean, scripted stories (although BG3 is good), or people online who have sex with my mother.
LLM chat bots just open up new possibilities.
Once a couple weeks I go somewhere to play it or similar games. Can't follow, feel awkward, get sensory overload and a headache, get terribly tired, come home depressed over a wasted day.
That is, once in 3-5 games I feel that maybe it wasn't that bad.
The groups I learned of were really weird about letting anyone else show up. Was told I had to form my own group and write my own adventures.
Thank you, fellow nerds.
It's the other way around for me, wanted to play in Star Wars KotOR setting, one time one guy showed up (but only over voice call), another time my buddy agreed to play.
Then wrote something in one DM's setting, only that DM showed up, said the quest was actually cool with good ideas yadda-yadda and mentioned it on another game, and later reused some of the moments in his own ones.
But me coming to other DMs' games seems welcomed.
I think they didn't like you or your way of playing busted something in the quest their DM wrote, or something like that.
It was probably the latter. Because if they didn’t like me that is much worse for a multitude of reasons.
I use it for tabletops lol I haven't thrown any game dev ideas in there but that might be because I already have a backlog of projects cause I'm that guy.
