This is a great article. I've been considering where this will head with gpt-2 dungeon master showing how far AI has come.
While I agree with the article that so far everything digital has been a noble failure, I feel there is too much discussion between AI vs humans. I think the future is in AI-assisted human DMs. Software may not be able to "entertain and dazzle" with the creativity of humans but it can help coordinate many routine tasks in any dnd game allowing the human DMs to focus their time on the components that make the adventure fun.
- matthewowen 7y agoDoes it show how far AI has come? It produces a game that is fundamentally unplayable, and because it's purely based on a model of language doesn't have a very obvious path to improve, since there's no underlying model of the thing it's trying to represent. Are any of these applications of GPT-2 that attempt to use a pure language representation as a way to sidestep modelling the underlying principles actually successful? I feel like I've not actually seen any real successes.

- armitron 7y agoI agree if by "make an attempt to guide it in the right direction" you imply "suspend disbelief and critical thinking, excuse/actively-imagine-away dumb and nonsensical output and try to convince yourself that there is something rather than nothing there". In other words, AI dungeon is very playable if you delude yourself into a state of continuous confirmation bias.
