This is not a big deal. Reading the pre-set text from an adventure module and rolling monster dice is the easy part of being a DM. clap clap ChatGPT. Having a personality, bringing out laughter, banter and fun, i.e. being a human being is the hard part. You aint got what it takes ChatGPT, stupid language regurgitating machine.

What stage of denial is this?

  I'd say we're still at denial. The idea that GPT can't simulate what he's just said is not really true.

  I'll probably try saying that stuff about laughter and personality when it takes away my coding job lol

    Actually I am about 99% sure that audio transformer models can simulate all sorts of emotions or personality. I mean with Eleven Labs, which is 100% realistic, you could just train it on a voice that was constantly expressing some emotion. Then train another voice ID with the same person but different emotion. Pretty sure they are working on ways to add inflection or something. But 100% as far as the text goes, GPT4 can assume a personality or include jokes in interactions. Will it necessarily be as "good" as your text chat personality I doubt it but who knows.

  I'm waiting for the moment when an LLM will prove a new math theorem or something and people will go: "Well, you know, it's not really that impressive considering it used X and Y previous results produced by humans. The model's contribution is tiny. This proof was kind-of low-hanging, a lucky PhD student would have stumbled into it eventually." It's coming.

    We've always known that there's a quantum equation for gravity, like forever. Now we're all excited that it did what, some math? Whoop de doo.

Can you show what parts of this campaign were pre-set text? Because I have a suspicion you've not read the article. This is a fully interactive campaign, and you can easily set up a unique scenario. I just tried the same prompt, but on the moon. It set up a situation with a secret moon base, characters that were trying to help you get past the guards, etc etc.

  Of course he's not read the article lol. or even tried to do what he's saying with gpt-4. If he had/did, he'd know it was bogus. Happens so much on the internet, someone comes in loudly proclaiming some opinion on a product/thing that they haven't actually used or tested.

  Nice way to miss my entire point. I don't care if the campaign is pre-set or one you made up. The point I was clearly making is DnD is about much more than the dungeons and dragons. It's about the camaraderie, banter, chitchat, and even arguments, the kinds of things you can meaningfully do, or want to do, with real humans.

    You mistake our astonishment at GPT-4 as implying some slight against D&D; you attempt to minimize our astonishment by pointing out facts about D&D that most of use would probably agree to. Yet this does nothing to mitigate our astonishment, which, perforce, is about a machine doing a fscking bang-up impression of a human. This is like observing the world's first aeroplane and saying, "pfft, its wings aren't even flapping. Can't be a bird with out flapping wings." Yes, yes, we know. That is obviously not the point. Someone just invented flight. tus666, I suspect this is an emotional self-management strategy on your part. I'm anxious, too, but, in the words of jwz, you now have two problems, as you are still anxious, and must additionally expend psychological energy on continuous misdirection, whereas I just have the now-standard 2023 anxiety about x-risk. (Oh, and the astonishment. Kudos to the OP for such a brilliant demo of GPT-4)
