Hasbro CEO is excited about not having to pay humans for their work anymore. Fify

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 60 points 4 months ago

Yes please, kill d&d so the creative people currently working on it move to others IPs you don't control ๐Ÿ™

"I'm probably more excited though about the playful elements of AI," he said. "I play with probably 30 or 40 people regularly. There's not a single person who doesn't use AI somehow for either campaign development or character development or story ideas. That's a clear signal that we need to be embracing it."

So as a DM and Player, yes, there are uses for AI. Generating a good character portrait as opposed to scouring search engines is the obvious one. But I also had good useage with putting my loose outline in to AI story generators, while it only produced garbage cliches that I didn't use. It was a good way to brainstorm and see different angles of my original idea.

Having said all that, I super duper don't want AI to become a core part of DND/MTG, art in products should be ACTUAL art by ACTUAL artists. Not my 8 fingered free placeholder nonsense. I truly struggle to think of a good way that hasbro could be using AI that would help the game.

Naive hopeful me: maybe they will use it in the way it's described. For gathering ideas, developing concepts. Hopefully a character generation tool. Where it leads you through step by step and keeps track of all things. Probably not gonna happen. Probably they use it to write the damn rule books with them including art.

[-] dumples@midwest.social 1 points 4 months ago

They already have a character tools on both Dndbeyond and roll20. The rest are already in the "This is your life" section of xanathars. Nothing AI needed

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

Great time to get into, oh, any RPG that isn't connected to WOTC.

Ton of options available, including many designed to offer similar experiences to various editions of D&D if that's your jam.

[-] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

Sounds like a great reason to not buy any of the DnD 2024 shit then. My players and I are perfectly happy with 5e

[-] solarvector@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 months ago

DnD Beyond is laying all the ground work for full enshitification as they do a soft push away from 5e to whatever the fuck live service subscription and micro transaction model they'll be pursuing.

[-] dumples@midwest.social 5 points 4 months ago

Never "buy" a digital only product. They have already taken them away once

[-] dumples@midwest.social 4 points 4 months ago

I am happy getting physical products since they can't be changed and I own them. Nothing digital ever again

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I encourage you to try other ttrpgs, as well.

[-] ulkesh@beehaw.org 13 points 4 months ago

I swear all the CEOs on the planet have lost their damn mind.

And his last name is Cocks, so I guess this tracks.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

Solidifying that I'm not touching a dnd product again for a very, very long time.

[-] DerArzt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

There are so many other Tattoos to choose from now, so it's pretty easy!

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

I assume you meant ttrpgs lol, and yup! My group currently plays Pf2e and Fabula Ultima. We're looking at Slugblaster.

[-] dumples@midwest.social 12 points 4 months ago

Only DND and AI combination I want is a massive random table. I want thousands of good human made ideas that I can query for a random selection using tags. This is not what is going to be made.

Using current AI for DND ideas gives the worse most cliche and generic responses that bore me to tears.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

When it's not a marketing team bumbling things up, you instead surrender the creativity to someone's fickle whims.

I'm sure this is going to go about as well as the star citizen's devs (or owner) choosing to go with the crysis engine for their massive game on a whim.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 6 points 4 months ago

It'll definitely lead to a few never-imagined-by-humans campaigns.

Now I want to plug in the rules to ChatGPT and let it run a session, just for fun.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

How does that even work?

[-] databender@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

OSR is gonna go nuclear over the next year or so

[-] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

AI is already becoming a core part os everything.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Except your spell checking?

Says a hexbear, ha! ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿฝ

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

That's a limp deflection. Is it really so difficult to not go around mocking people for typing errors like a 13-year-old?

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

The most reddit response possible

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Wow that sucks

AI art is going to do the same thing to fantasy art that digital art did: completely destroy the immersive feeling for the benefit of rich assholes who want to pump out slop quicker and cheaper

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Whatever problems you might have with low-effort digital art, the two are not remotely comparable.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That photo is awesome.

[-] UnexpectedBehavior@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Today, I scheduled the first one shot using DC20 rules. If it plays as good as it reads I'll convert completely. CEO decisions should not have any impact on my private entertainment

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

That pic makes me think of Gauntlet
