WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

[Scribe]

Exactly. The answer is not having the necessities of life locked behind a paywall.

Which uh....wont happen in any of our lifetimes.

For now... And yeah, it is just scale. You brought it up, after all.

I honestly don't think we know enough about the science of human creativity to support a statement like that.

I turn it off where I can and don't use it where I can't.

Does your job depend on it? Because the means to can't can't.

Also, I am guessing you won't have the option to turn it off relatively soon.

Would like to see a breakdown of the poll based on how often respondents use it in the workplace. (I am "yes" and constantly).

I wonder where some folks draw the line. Sure, AI generated imagery and text is a hard pass for lots of folks (me included -- mostly because if that is what WotC were selling, i could do the same myself cheaper). But at what point does "AI help" become too much AI invovlement?

For example, let's say that the editor/developer in charge of the the next Forgotten Realm setting book used AI to read, collate and answer questions about every previous FR supplement put out by TSR or WotC. Is that too far?

Yes but no AI writing but art created by human and cleaned up/enhanced by AI.

At what point do you draw the line? That's an honest question, don't think it's being provocative.

If I write an adventure and ask the AI to correct the mistakes, that's one thing. But what if I just determine the main elements of the plot (for the sake of the discussion, let's assume that my idea is world-shakingly original and not a regurgitation of other plots I might have read in fiction) and ask the AI to develop it by adding, say, elements not central to the idea of the adventure to make it more flavourful, for example by writing the "boxed text"? And what if I write it entirely but asks the AI to translate it to English? Or, in the other way round, if I ask an LLM for a plotline and events and I manually do all the description, monster design and balancing?

Which would you consider "enhanced", which would you consider "AI writing" instead of enhancing?

Job mandated sure, consumer related, it should be labeled if what your buying is "ai" like allergens and gmo is in foods. Don't hide what your selling, and let the consumer choose what they are willing to pay for.

We talked about the use of LLMs for search earlier. I think putting all that text into a LLM then using it to search and provide references for questions the author had would be very helpful. (Of course, they should check the references).

Job mandated sure, consumer related, it should be labeled if what your buying is "ai" like allergens and gmo is in foods. Don't hide what your selling, and let the consumer choose what they are willing to pay for.

My guess is this becomes like the CA cancer labels, on every single product and of little use.

Fair enough. I think we do. I also think we have no idea of what the future will bring...

Imagination isn’t like a colour. It’s the fundamental act of creation from nothing. It’s how new stuff comes into being. It’s the exact opposite of training something to reproduce it, by definition.

Exact opposite is easy to train AI to do. Just add a negative to the score.

But go ahead and prove your point. Make something new from nothing. Tell me something an AI wouldn't be able to.
