D&D (2024) Using AI for Your Home Game

[ezo]

I have run several published campaigns with good results.

I have as well. Usually they form the basis for the adventure and I have to add on or improv some parts, but the skeleton is there.

I use AI to generate rough adventure ideas sometimes within guidelines I give it. Then, like published campaigns, I have to flesh it out, make up NPC personalities and encounters, and do most of the heavy lifting.

The day I knowingly use ai will be the day I leave the hobby forever, thank you very much. I find the idea abhorrent and insulting to everything I stand for as a dm or player.

And comparing actual work of creative human being with a machine that spews words it was taught look good next to each other but does not understand their meaning, and it was taught on stolen labore people were not compensated for and whose very purpose is to ensure real people cannot live from being creative anymore...that is insulting to everyone who ever wrote anything, especially a module.

I have written modules for convention play, and I am not insulted by my writing being compared with AI generated text. I will keep writing, and keep generating text, and keep being creative!

I have written adventures and quite frankly, I AM insulted. Also, I will be avoiding your modules, as I cannot trust them not to be ai generated crap.

Just keep in mind that you are only speaking for yourself when you talk about your feelings, and not every writer. Not all of us are luddites, many embrace these new tools for creativity.

I could say the same - not all of us are lazyand thinking ai is "creative", we see the plagiarism machine for what it is.

And luddites wanted to ensure hthe automation won't render people jobless and homeless, which it did. Reputation of tem as crazy anti-progresd idiots is a reult of deliberate smear campaign by newspapers owned by people mking profit of the same factories luddites were protesting.

"Something you don't like" is a fancy way of describing thing that literally ruins people's lives and destroys their dreams using their own stolen work.

Even if this were true, it would not make my argument wrong.

A DM who resorts to using AI is by definition never a creative DM. Same goes for anyone using it. It's cheap, it's lazy, it shows utter lack of respect for anyone whom your "creative" work was supposed to be for. Why should anyone play in your game if you couldn't even bother making it?

Again "Lacking respect" has nothing to do with being creative and there are plenty of highly creative people who stole or steal things .... not that what you are describing is truely stealing anyway.

Also, I AM being ridiculed and vilified. By people like you, the AI cultists.

What have I said to vilify you? Please provide an example.

Why should I reserve respect to them if they have no respect for me or for the creators they stole from?

Well if you want to make a compelling argument you need to focus on the principles you are defending, not the people disagreeing with you, whether you like or respect them or not.

Saying you have no respect for people or making allegations they "stole" something does not make you right.

Have you ever run one or are you just making assumptions? There is an actual work that goes into running the published modules. I find trying to sneak a snobbish "people who run modules are not real GM!" as a defense of PLAGIARISMBOT 3000 to be a double dose of insulting.

So how do you resolve this logic with your other statements?

I run published campaigns .... and I run my own adventures ..... and I use AI.

If there is actual work that goes into running published modules and I am being creative when I do that, then it necessarily makes your other statement that "A DM who resorts to using AI is by definition never a creative DM." untrue.

Either I am creative or I am not, you can't have it both ways.

The helpful AI that is used in things like medicine, is not the same as the plagiarism machine, which does not help anyone except greedy ceo's that deliberatelly want to destroy jobs to devalue human labor.

AI art helps me tremendously and I am not a greedy CEO.

I'll just add, although people seem to have blocked me, that MY PLAYERS really enjoy the AI portraits for NPCs and the AI maps for overland travel, towns, etc. I use in my games.

They actually think it is really cool I can make them, ask me to show them how, and one plans to try using it in the game he DMs.

I used AI to make a Bastion for a Fey Wanderer, it looks like a Fey Glen with a Garden, pond and sanctuary, and the players at the table love it.

Yeah, the thing is, the luddites were right.
