Speaking of RPG adventures, do you guys remember AI Dungeon[0]? I was amazed by GPT-2 when AI Dungeon 2.0 came out in late 2019. I know AI Dungeon was circulating around a relatively niche community[1] (probably HN mostly), but it amazed me in the same way as ChatGPT did. Covid happened right after, and I always wondered if AI Dungeon would've gotten more attention if Covid didn't steal the spotlight.

This is not a big deal.

Reading the pre-set text from an adventure module and rolling monster dice is the easy part of being a DM. clap clap ChatGPT.

Having a personality, bringing out laughter, banter and fun, i.e. being a human being is the hard part.

You aint got what it takes ChatGPT, stupid language regurgitating machine.

The main thing I can't stop thinking about is how hard Wizards of the Coast is going to hate this, and what legal means they will employ to try to either destroy it or make money from OpenAI

Why would they hate this? They'll sell access to it, just like anyone else who is eager to take LLMs that consume content from the public domain, and repackage it into a walled-garden-entry-by-fee, giving nothing back to the public.

Out of curiosity, I asked GPT3 to write a Friends episode one time. On the one hand, I was kind of surprised how well it knew the show - it knew the characters and how they were related, it knew about the coffee shop and Rachel & Monica's apartment. It wasn't very _creative_ though, it just kind of seemed to talk in circles, and nothing ever actually happened (it also gave Chandler & Joey iphones). This actually seems to be making up new stuff - that's surprising.

In lots of ways AI dungeon was better because you could have philosophical conversations with it about the nature of its own existence without the guardrails going up constantly
