Message: <blockquote data-quote="timbannock" data-source="post: 9312683" data-attributes="member: 17913">Just as a test, in the heat of a moment during a game session I asked Bard (at the time) to write me a short dream sequence (3-5 paragraphs) for a player to experience a very positive "blessing" from their deity, and juxtaposed that AI-written scene with a sequence I had developed a while back for another player that was framed sort of as a nightmare sequence (though parts were really happening) I was waiting to spring on them. (Don't worry, both things made sense in the story, even if this explanation doesn't, since it loses effectively all of the context ;-P) Important to note that the AI sequence was about a god specific to the Forgotten Realms, and the metaphors I asked it to work in were very simple (something like "what blessing would Lliira give a devoted follower via a dream who was doubting their path?")...but framing it as a dream sequence seemed to me like a tall order for AI to do. I fully expected the prompt to fail, and to just have to wing something completely else.Turns out the players universally thought that was the best sequence in the campaign up to this point, as I interweaved the two scenes. Mind you, AI only did half the work, and didn't handle the shifting of the spotlight between the two players' experiences, but the fact is that the AI-written portion of that scene was used almost word-for-word, and no one picked up on any difference from my usual GMing aside from calling it out at the end of the session as a really good, strong sequence.So...I dunno, maybe my "usual" is actually pretty sucky, but I hope not! ;-PJoking aside, the learning I took away is that AI actually can handle certain, moderately decent prompts pretty damn well when you give it the right parameters. And it did it so fast that the players didn't notice a transition from me running the game completely normally to adding an entire pre-written short sequence, half of which was written on the spot using AI from a 2-3 sentence prompt.</blockquote>
