This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
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.
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.
