Hasbro CEO is excited about not having to pay humans for their work anymore. Fify

Yes please, kill d&d so the creative people currently working on it move to others IPs you don’t control 🙏

“I’m probably more excited though about the playful elements of AI,” he said. “I play with probably 30 or 40 people regularly. There’s not a single person who doesn’t use AI somehow for either campaign development or character development or story ideas. That’s a clear signal that we need to be embracing it.”

So as a DM and Player, yes, there are uses for AI. Generating a good character portrait as opposed to scouring search engines is the obvious one. But I also had good useage with putting my loose outline in to AI story generators, while it only produced garbage cliches that I didn’t use. It was a good way to brainstorm and see different angles of my original idea.

Having said all that, I super duper don’t want AI to become a core part of DND/MTG, art in products should be ACTUAL art by ACTUAL artists. Not my 8 fingered free placeholder nonsense. I truly struggle to think of a good way that hasbro could be using AI that would help the game.

Only DND and AI combination I want is a massive random table. I want thousands of good human made ideas that I can query for a random selection using tags. This is not what is going to be made.

Using current AI for DND ideas gives the worse most cliche and generic responses that bore me to tears.

OSR is gonna go nuclear over the next year or so

Today, I scheduled the first one shot using DC20 rules. If it plays as good as it reads I’ll convert completely. CEO decisions should not have any impact on my private entertainment

That photo is awesome.
