Hasbro May Be Eyeing AI for Dungeons & Dragons
Hasbro May Be Eyeing AI for Dungeons & Dragons
A recent partnership teases "powerful AI-driven game mechanics" for Hasbro's current and future tabletop endeavors.
Dear sweet Oghma. We can't even get rid of it on TTRPGs.
You're viewing a single thread.
My group doesn't strictly follow the rules anyway, but this is still dumb. To me the whole point of playing DnD is to have real human interaction!
The inclusion of AI doesn't lead to the lack of human interaction.
We're using plenty of random generators and software to provide content since years...
Sure, I'll still be sitting with my friends and we can ignore the ML crap.
I could be wrong, but this just reeks of Hasbro trying to cash in on the "AI" hype. With this and the recent licensing thing I'm hoping to switch to a different system anyway.
The nice thing with DnD though is you can play in your own way. If you like all the ML stuff, go for it and enjoy it! :)
Indeed. There are plenty of groups of people who would love to play together but who just don't have anyone who's willing or able to act as the dungeon master. If AI gets good enough then this could lead to a great expansion of social interaction over a D&D table.
And if someone wants to play solo, why not support that too?
The key to it all is the if AI gets good enough part. If it doesn't then all this is moot.
As of now, plenty of people use "solo" games (not DM + a single player, but pure solo), or Mythic GM Emulator/Oracle.
If they are ok with such a crude solution, then I guess they will perceive ChatGPT DM as way superior engine.
Nothing about this will limit your human interaction.
