VC take note: I would pay streaming subscription prices, for 24/7 access to a LLM chatbot DM which correctly and configurably runs a campaign for me [and friends]. Let me pick between styles and tones (some openly modeled on popular podcasts and streaming play), let me tune a bunch of controls, give me a nice UX if you can, but build me a consistent world which spoons out the world-building _and remembers it_ and I am a customer for life. Oh yeah and the price I will pay doubles if this is illustrated throughout with generative art (also tunable wrt style). We can wait for music and speech synthesis and sound effects for v1.5.

You don’t want a VC involved in this idea. Their job is to chase extreme growth and burn down any investment that doesn’t grow enough along the way. They’d ruin what you want this to be. But you’ll 100% see this starting to mature as homespun Discord bots in the next year or so, and eventually showing up as either Steam games or web apps from bootstrapped or privately-funded companies soon enough to. It’s not a hard thing to get going, and so it’ll just come down to sorting out a business model and then iterating on features. No VC required. Just time, passion, and some supportive fans/users.

> but build me a consistent world which spoons out the world-building _and remembers it_ Yeah, one potential way to do this is to add input / output to a semantic graph store a la WikiData, in addition to the more bog standard text and image outputs. I've been wanting to try this out ever since seeing how good LLMs are a semantic decomposition.
