[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9437214, member: 18"] Yup. I don't expect D&D to go full AI DM, much as WotC leadership (not Crawford/Perkins level, above them) 150% wish they could do that. D&D just is too DM-centric and too much about the DM thinking up what happens next or interpreting stuff. That's actually a good protection from automation (I say this as someone who works in automation, note!). If you actually need to stop and think about stuff, AI is not the answer, generally-speaking. AI is okay for generating stuff (not great), and great for summarising stuff, but coming up with solutions to situations/problems? Unless a lot of people already wrote solutions/resolutions and put them on the internet, nah lol I think there are some solo-oriented RPGs (which you can also play in a group, some very well), which are already trying to have a sort of reflexive or automated DM where AI could be more of a replacement, but it would it need specialist training, you couldn't just drop ChatGPT or the like in there, and I think for the short term, that kind of specialist training would be outside the budgets of the sort of RPGs where it might work (barring a spectacular Kickstarter focused on that). In short, we may well see a TT RPG designed specifically so that having an AI DM works, but that RPG will not be D&D - and probably not any RPG that exists now, [/QUOTE]
