[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9862577, member: 725"] That was never going to happen, no matter how you calculate it. Yes, a common engine with enough support will remove a lot of demand from the consumer base for specific engine solutions. It can be beneficial for both the consumer AND the publisher. Most people hate MS and it's Windows monopoly, but we also don't want over 600+ actively supported Linux distros, as we see that with the paltry adoption of Linux on desktops/laptops, and most of them are even free! But some still prefer something else from the mainstream and that section of the RPG space would be filled by other RPGs always. I wonder how much of those statements are related to the pitch he made to WotC/Hasbro management for the OGL/SRD/D20 licenses... To many people see AI (LLM) as "Computer can now do everything that department can do, let's fire everyone!", it's not that black and white, at least not yet. And you still need people with skills, and no one things about how to get people with those skills when you loose people to age, accident, growth or just wanting to work somewhere else. When there are no more junior positions, where do you get new folks that can fill senior positions? Having worked for organizations where they didn't have juniors that could grow to seniors when things where going well, we were stuck in a period of time where you couldn't get seniors without paying a LOT of money, you needed to hire all juniors that didn't know $#!&, and when more then half your department is suddenly filled with people not up to the job, you have serious problems as a business. That will eventually cost more money then you saved in the first place. You know how LLMs are trained, so the LLM you used, when was it trained and on what data (last date)? Did it have functionality to browse the Internet to search for locations? Did you prompt it to do that if it had the capabilities? Did you give it an index location for the Goldne Pages or something similar? Just as with a search engine, I get completely different results on how I parse the search. The same goes for LLMs, depending on the LLM and it's generation. [/QUOTE]
