I’ll start with a little bit of background. I moved to a different country just about two years ago and I have been slowly working on the language. I haven’t had many close friends who share similar interests with me. I also don’t care for the online games. Those reasons combined I haven’t played d&d in just about those two years.

Someone suggested ChatGPT to me for an unrelated reason. I was impressed and then I was suggested to try a text adventure with it. And to put it lightly I was a little bit blown away. I’ll admit, I even dropped a 20 to use the GPT-4. At this point, I think I have a mild addiction, as I’ve been spending a lot of my free time continuing our adventure.

But back to my original question. Have I just been this starved of role playing games that I think this is amazing? Or is it actually this good? What’s your opinion on these AI when it comes to RPGs?

    There are plenty of solo resources available. All you need is an oracle and your imagination. You don’t need ChatGPT.

      I’ve seen people successfully using ChatGPT in conjunction with solo resources as well. It seems like the main thing is you have to keep an eye on the details, as ChatGPT can play fast and loose with things it established before; similarly to how you have to factcheck any kind of summary you ask it for - it’s great at conversation and ideas, but internal consistency is still spotty.
