SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Orphan81 on July 30, 2024, 06:23:34 PMI think you and Leopold are overthinking this. That isn't meant as an insult by the way.

I don't believe Wizard's plans on having an AI DM that can respond to any input a player puts in or actions they want to take... Far, far from it.

I think instead they're more gunning for something that can adjudicate pre-written Adventures with a very limited set of options and responses.

I doubt wotc has even thought that far. They will take the path of most lazy and either just plug ChatGPT in and think it will magically work. Then stupidly wonder why it doesnt.

Or they will rub 2 brain cells together, realize these "AI"s are a scam, and try to cover their asses with s sort of pick-your-path style program that branches, but not too much and will as you suspect be limited to specific modules.

Quote from: GnomeWorks on July 30, 2024, 07:00:51 PMI would find it entirely believable if someone found evidence that some asshole at WotC or Hasbro in a suit believes this is a possible thing and is demanding that it be done, and also believable that the tech people attempting to implement it believe it's entirely possible and within their skills to make it so.

Way the hell back in the late 90s/early 00s, a friend of mine was running a MUD and on it he had an AI puttering around. I met it myself while exploring and at first thought it was another player. It was conversational and could navigate the MUD if you asked it about a location.

The only way I realized it was not a player was the speed of the responses and how the responses had an ELIZA sort of feel in how it picked up on what you said. But it could hold a basic conversation.

The main problem was that as it added stuff to its database according to its creator, it used up a prohibitive amount of disc space.

Other MUD coders have tried similar on a more limited scale. Coding in mobs that pay attention to what is said in their viscinity/room and later might bring that up to the player.
