I was just testing to see if it could be fun. Yes, I think so. In fact, I find that ChatGPT is a Dungeon Master's dream toolbox for homebrew stuff.

Yeah. It's not going to replace a human who can read the room and respond to how the players act and feel any time soon, but I've used it to help flesh out some NPCs, because I'm pretty weak on that point.

I totally agree. But I know I had a folder of bookmarks with all sorts of tools for making NPCs, locations, enemies, names for stuff, treasures, and so on. Now ChatGPT does all that for me. I found ChatGPT is a great tool to inspire personal creativity, too. When I tell it to invent puzzles, they are kinda meh by themselves but inspires me to put something more cohesive together.

Eventually, sooner than you might think, I can see an AI with cameras around the room, so it can see the players' faces. It will be able to identify common emotional faces and can improvise accordingly. Honestly, I predict there will be live streams of a bunch of humans sitting around a table that is being run by the AI dungeon master.

The tabletop is one of those big digital screen ones, and the the fights are animated as they play. I would totally watch that haha. Maybe at some point it can generate movies based on the game session. I know we've all had some epic game moments that would be awesome movie scenes.

It will be hard to convince me to let an AI run a game for me by reading my facial expressions, but I will allow that A) they'd probably do fine as supplementary players, and B) if AI is eventually able to generate short movies based on session recordings, that would be outstanding.
