Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9234651, member: 725"] I'm pretty sure you could get a LLM to produce better adventures the 90% of the garbage that's on DTRPG. But what people seem to forget is that it also depends heavily on the one providing the prompts. Just like with googling, the quality of the search results depends heavily on the google-fu skill of the user. And if people have thought me anything the last 25+ years, people's google-fu skill suck! It's a skill like any other, not everyone has the skill and most that have it have it at a very low level. Prompting is relatively new and with the rate of advancement of LLM, things change so often, so people have to spend a lot of time keeping their prompting skills even relevant. LLM is automation, just like we've been doing for decades. Some jobs might disappear, but it's mostly resulting in fewer people doing more, cheaper. In writing we have the equivalent of dime store novels, cheap romance novels vs. what we call literature. Not everyone reads 'literature' all the time, there's a huge market for literary 'crap' out there. And if we have to believe things closer at home, getting back to the mountains of crap RPG supplements and adventures on a DTRPG, people still make very low quality, shoddy products that actually sell. Why complain if with the right person at the helm a LLM can make better product then the oodles of low quality stuff that we currently have? And I've seen way better descriptions, texts, etc. from LLM then from (apparently) way too many writers. "Would I buy an AI generated Castle Greyhawk?" What others have said, it depends, if it's any good. I've seen fan projects from decades ago that I found a better read then most of the official Greyhawk products that I had access to at the time... Greyhawk is also a WotC IP/trademark, so it would probably would have to be a product made by WotC and I've not bought many D&D books in the 5E era (only PHB/DMG/MM)... Also with current LLM (and I don't see that changing), it lies, it lies extremely well. So you would still need a very knowledgable person (on the IP) prompting a LLM for creating a Castle Greyhawk. ChatGPT could swear up and down that Elminster is the resident royal wizard at Castle Greyhawk and that it's located in Monaco... [/QUOTE]
