D&D General A.I. D&D Session Transcripts and Summaries Example

[FlareVulca]

I've been using a webapp that does exactly this gmassistant.ai. It's already released and only requires you record your session and upload it (and pay obviously).

A.I. Eww. No thanks.

A.I. Eww. No thanks.

This sort of comment doesn't seem particularly helpful or necessary.

Anyway, I really like what has been done here. I think this sort of use case is going to be common in the future -- not just for TTRPGs, of course, but "meetings" in general.

I don't believe LLMs are anywhere near "intelligent" but I do think they are going to provide some really interesting and powerful tools going forward.

A.I. Eww. No thanks.

I am curious what is more objectionable in this use than in, say, your spell and grammar checker which is using similar text training to predict what you're trying to say? Or language translation software? This isn't using people's art. It's not reproducing text belong to someone else in a different way. It's just your own voice and text summarized for just your use.

What if you have a player and/or a character named Craig?

LOL I think you can change the call-out name?

It's completely relevent. You wanted our opinions on artificial intelligence being used in TTRPGs. I gave it. I don't want it. Period. I dislike that it's being forced upon us whether we like it or not. And I provided an opinion in this thread that isn't just gushing over technology that us necessary nor required and frankly does not improve our game in any meaningful way. Frankly I don't even like VTTs or DnDBeyond either. I don't want nor need anything other than pen, paper, and physical books, except perhaps real physical miniatures. Unfortunately my consent apparently means very little in the modern capitalist hellscape.

There are more forms of art than visual. Where did they get the sample data from for training their algorithm to spew out that half-baked text prompt? Did they fairly compensate every single person whose written work they used for training? If I cannot go into a store and walk out without paying for a book of text, way is it acceptable for them to? If those writers were not paid for their efforts, it's no different than artwork.

And it'd hardly generative AI that is negatively being forced upon us. Ever heard of Google? I've disabled their a.i. naughty word no less than 10 times in the last two weeks alone and I have NEVER once consented to it being forced on me.

And yes, if it means I must lose spellcheckers in order to rid us of this AI scourge would gladly trade it anytime.

No I didn't. I did not start this thread.

You did the equivalent of making a grossed out face, but sure.

in this thread that isn't just gushing over technology that us necessary nor required and frankly does not improve our game in any meaningful way. Frankly I don't even like VTTs or DnDBeyond either.

That's fine. You can have whatever you want in your game. You don't have to ever engage with any of this stuff ever. Congratulations.

This is complete nonsense. LLMs were trained to read and communicate via text from a huge number of sources of available text. You know, the same way you learned to read and communicate via text.

And it'd hardly generative AI that is negatively being forced upon us. Ever heard of Google? I've disabled their a.i. naughty word no less than 10 times in the last two weeks alone and I have NEVER once consented to it being forced on me.

You did, though. You agreed to the terms of service.

And yes, if it means I must lose spellcheckers in order to rid us of this AI scourge would gladly trade it anytime.

That genie is not going back into the bottle, but you are allowed to avoid it. it does seem rude, though, to come into a thread that is about how to make use of those tools and just rail.

Every single Google search is powered by AI. I've read a your handful of recent posts in this thread. You've formed an extremely strong opinion, developed an overpowering fear and are foaming at the mouth over a concept you have pretty much zero understanding of. I admire taking a stand against something. I can only respect that stand if you have at least some idea of what you are taking a stand against. Your posts on this topic to date are just sort of nonsensical spit and anger.

If you want someone to listen to you, maybe dial it down a notch and get your ducks in a row.

The same place your spell checker and grammar checker got it.

The same place this very board got it to check the spelling on your replies here.

Did they fairly compensate every single person whose written work they used for training?

Did your spell checker and grammar checker do that? No, but you use them happily. It's just the word "AI" has been slapped on this, even though it's doing the same kind of thing using the same body of text to train it, that causes an objection. Why? What's the principal behind tagging one as bad and the other as good when neither is actually artificial intelligence it's all just software attempting to summarize and recontextualized text prompts as utility for your personal use.

If I cannot go into a store and walk out without paying for a book of text, way is it acceptable for them to? If those writers were not paid for their efforts, it's no different than artwork.

There is no artwork involved in voluntarily taking your own voice and putting it into text, or in summarizing that text. Humans have done this as a matter of course long before the term AI was in use.

What's being forced on you with this particular topic. My man, I just spent a huge amount of time typing up directions for people to use, for free, a tool to help their D&D games which doesn't depend on anyone else's works, and you're ranting about Google to me?

And yes, if it means I must lose spellcheckers in order to rid us of this AI scourge would gladly trade it anytime.

Yes, you must lose spellchecks if you find this sort of thing objectionable. You're tilting at windmills on this one. There is a meaningful difference between stealing someone's art and novels, repackaging those, and then selling those again; and this stuff which is just you using your own words and getting them summarized for your own use for free for the enhancement of your own game.
