Feel like we've got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you've got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like "bro this is so scary how good we made this thing". Seems like bullshit.

I've seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don't think I'd just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

The brainstorming is where its at. Telling ChatGPT to just do something is boring. Chatting with it about your problem and having a conversation about the issue you're having? Hell yes.

I'm a dungeon master and I use it for help world building and its exceptional.

Oh that sounds neat. Can you give some examples of your process and results?

Honestly, not really. It's a communication thing with the bot. Just talk to it like a person. Say what you want to do and what ideas you have, then ask if ChatGPT has any suggestions. Keep talking. It'll recommend ideas and you can tweak them or ignore them.

I actually think that ChatGPT could eventually become the way to play tabletop RPGs. It's not quite there yet, though. It's not the most creative writer, still often has internal consistency flaws, and of course it would have to be trained specifically on the rules of the RPG you're playing. But once it has been, it could probably act as a DM for groups that lack one. Or as a very closely coupled assistant to less experienced DMs who may need hand holding. It could even likely replace players, which could be useful for solo players who can't find a group (or, say, have incompatible scheduling).

Unlike a regular video game, the format of tabletop RPGs seems perfect for our current rudimentary AIs and the constraints are ones that they can probably handle with careful training alone. It's also a useful niche since there's no replacing the open endedness of tabletop RPGs with current technology. There's also a lot of people out there that I'm sure would like to play tabletop RPGs but just lack a group. Anyone who's played them before knows that scheduling is really hard and has killed a lot of groups. That's something an AI could help with.

When talking about code though I've come to notice that it will happily follow the corrections you tell it whether they are right or wrong. That's not all that helpful but it can still give you ideas about how to solve your problem with a bit of basic knowledge of the topic you're dealing with.
