I was just testing to see if it could be fun. Yes, I think so. In fact, I find that ChatGPT is a Dungeon Master’s dream toolbox for homebrew stuff.

    I totally agree. But I know I had a folder of bookmarks with all sorts of tools for making NPCs, locations, enemies, names for stuff, treasures, and so on. Now ChatGPT does all that for me. I found ChatGPT is a great tool to inspire personal creativity, too. When I tell it to invent puzzles, they are kinda meh by themselves but inspires me to put something more cohesive together.

    Eventually, sooner than you might think, I can see an AI with cameras around the room, so it can see the players’ faces. It will be able to identify common emotional faces and can improvise accordingly. Honestly, I predict there will be live streams of a bunch of humans sitting around a table that is being run by the AI dungeon master.

    The tabletop is one of those big digital screen ones, and the the fights are animated as they play. I would totally watch that haha. Maybe at some point it can generate movies based on the game session. I know we’ve all had some epic game moments that would be awesome movie scenes.

      It will be hard to convince me to let an AI run a game for me by reading my facial expressions, but I will allow that A) they’d probably do fine as supplementary players, and B) if AI is eventually able to generate short movies based on session recordings, that would be outstanding.
