I imagine he's talking a lot more about professional activities and experiments rather than typical organic hobbyist activities.When I was a game tester I "played video games with" tons of people and "played" all kinds of games that I would never so much as look at.

AI is currently a buzzword being applied to various automation efforts. Typically the current usage applies to Generative Models, which analyze existing data, reduce it to a simplified form, and can then remix it based on requests made to it.

When a solution is available it's pretty normal to identify all possible applications for it. You should see how many ways people use peanuts.

It would likely be a trivial cost. Depends on the LLM and plan they use, but it could easily be a rounding error if they're already paying for it for other things.

That's exactly why the technology would be helpful. Zero Effort is easier to sell than Some Effort.

Even just helping writers avoid accidental lore contradictions would lower the blood pressure of some of the better-read fans.

Yeah. Getting and digesting old data, sure, cool. Creating new data? Get a human. Edit: You don't need to get sour because you misunderstood my original statement. No shame in it or need to save face by mocking it now that you understand. <3

D&D Beyond has all the facts from every edition of the game? So I can ask it what color clothing thri-kreen interact with most often?

Sure. Who is going to generate those spreadsheets for every possible fact across several hundred documents?

I dislike 5E and 5E24 on their own merits, but WotC/Hasbro are why my disinterest and disappointment are coupled with active negative feelings.

That's 6-7 rounds! That's almost a turn.

Imagine how audiences would respond to an action move where every fight was concluded in 9-12 seconds.

If D&D focused on range, we'd need to use a zoomed out grid and teeny tiny miniatures.

D&D is not simulating our reality.

Insurance companies require it because otherwise people will do it.

The only cost to a clear label is those customers who you hoped would remain ignorant and suffer the consequences.

Whole careers are built on mitigating the impacts of the banal ignorance of others. We have to put warnings on bleach for a reason.

For now. Money and power are forever sought. It's just not a profitable fight at the moment.

It was only not revoked because they were pushed back on by the community. The realities of court costs are that it would not go any other way. There are plenty of other examples in the news, but they are not D&D-related.
