Sound’s interesting.. hope they can meet their goal
It's interesting. I'm always a bit sceptical of the long term survival of web sites because they have ongoing costs. So for the long term, the site will need a periodic payment set of customers to stay online or some other way of generating continuous income or the "lifetime" membership will expire after a year or two.
It still may be worth it, but how good it will be is pretty directly connected to how well the AI is trained. The current sample is very generic and not really that helpful, ie
The one before it was better but it wasn't a social adventure. The above snippet is 352 words. The "Lifetime" membership has a limit of 100K words a month. A short mini-tome adventure of 2 pages (5ish room dungeon style) has about 1,000 words. The Demonplague, a 1-20 5E adventure, had about 100K words. So the monthly limit seems reasonable.Quote:

Not that they can't be useful, but I haven't been too impressed with them yet. Coming up with ideas has never been a challenge for me. And since most of my stuff is done in shorthand now days (i.e. bullet points, not full out text) I don't find the output very useful.
Now, I'm all up for others training these AIs, maybe when the get reliable they will be more useful to me. I see great potential in them as exceptional search engines and reference tools.
I backed this one out of curiosity. I'd like to see what a well trained AI would do with RPG adventures. I think their kickstarter would go better if they had just stuck to one thing the generator and adventures and skipped the minis and sound tracks.
They are firstly a minis company so that is probably why they are adding in the minis options
This looked interesting but I don't think it's very sustainable. The AI modeling is changing too much and the laws are as well. Looks like they backed out anyhow.
This was cancelled it seems. On my lunch I happened to check on it.
On the topic of AI tools there’s no stopping it now of course they will be use more and more as time goes on. I just hope it does not get to diluting human creativity so much so that it diminishes need for truly good writers or artists. I use mid journey for character portraits and some scenery images for a home brew and I might use gpt to write a idea for a quest or storyline but I edit it and touch it up personally.
I fear that eventually the AI will be trained on AI content rather than newer, more human created data.
