[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9312298, member: 6801845"] I could see it being a DM assistant, giving ideas beforehand and prompts during the game. Perhaps it could even run some NPCs for me. So for example I'd give it my scenarios and general setting outline and it gives me options to fill it in. There are some NPC generators that do this a little bit now, but they're pretty basic and in my experience just repeat my prompts with more words. If I were running a virtual session, even have it do voices, with directions from me. It could really help some people step up their DMing game. Another example would be creating and populating an entire village or even city with every building and shop laid out. They don't even have to be particularly innovative here, it's just filling in the world with realistic NPCs and background. Imagine a VTT with a crowded street, someone hawking wares, a town crier repeating news that may have been directed by the DM. Lots of options to fill in the blanks that I simply can't as a DM. On the other hand I don't see it replacing a DM entirely anytime in the near future without some true breakthrough technology of a type I simply don't see growing out of LLMs. [/QUOTE]
