[QUOTE="Waller, post: 9272668, member: 6747584"] I'm not trying to be awkward I promise. I'm just trying to understand the technology. We've all used random generators for years. Some random generators are totally random, others use inputs or some logic to construct their results. Some aren't even all that random! If we ask an AI to write an NPC description or we ask a random generator to write one, other than the AI probably being better at it, what's the difference in process? What is the AI doing that a random (or non-random) generator isn't? Is it just the data scraping part? If the AI did the same thing but didn't scrape data except for whatever data set the designer gave it is it then doing the same thing? Or is it fundamentally different? Or should we be looking askance at random generators too? There are generators which make maps and dungeons--is that similar to AI art generators, except for the scraping part? I guess I'm asking is AI just a big fancy (semi-random) generator but with added data scraping? [/QUOTE]
