Are you coding in Python as well? I circled back to comp sci and it’s been amazing. The AI API + RAG stuff is smooth. I think that would be the best way to use AI with RP, make the bot based on your character and just input other players’ text in, then copy/paste the response.
Of course, that does get into the sticky territory of plugging fellow RPers’ work into the LLM.
If it could be automated, though, and you had a bot working Goldshire for tips…
A bit extraneous but I have sometimes suspected if my own writing prowess could be mistaken for AI. I find that some of my narratively driven output comes off as dry or more rigid and literal than intended, especially when portraying more astute and/or stoic characters. Granted, this is a rather minor fear, but a fear nonetheless.
I’ve long been a bit skeptical of the claims of that MG thread as well. I can certainly see someone using AI programs to write their profiles, or even some trying to train one through rp, but, as with many things, if I have no references to observe I feel I have no reason to fully believe in it. Still the latter is rather baffling if it’s true. I simply don’t quite see the point in delegating an already extraneous activity to a bot. Upon recollection of the topic there could be some longer-term applications down the line, but I feel I already presume too much of intent of these people who might not even actually exist.
Good point. Did it happen once and then some rumor spreading blew up or something.
I also wonder if my view of it – that maybe people have social anxiety and are using the AI due to feeling pressured to write or think of something – is biased in just like, my perception of RP culture (or even pop culture) and it wouldn’t be that at all.
No this was done through an app called character.ai
I went in and had a conversation with Strahd, which was fine, but then noticed the create button and knew what I needed to do.
It’s pretty basic- you enter in a description of your character and also have the option to list out some sample conversations. When conversing with the bot, you can take things OOC to give feedback. Then, when you refresh the conversation, the bot takes those suggestions and integrates them.
It gets boring after a while but it is a fun little tool.
I haven’t had the feeling like someone was doing that. It actually seems to me like a slower to RP in a random situation.
Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it.
I often feel like I’m talking to badly programmed NPCs but that’s just life lately.
Ummm, not to be an alarmist and all, but, I’m already paranoid enough and now all of this AI-RP mumbo jumbo talk is creating a very troubling scenario and I feel like I need to bail.
Up until now we could just avoid Goldshire entirely. Now I’m having these visions of a Skynet-like takeover of MG by a sentient Goldshire. 
TBF, Skynet spending 30 seconds in Goldshire and deciding all of Humanity has to die seems pretty realistic.
don’t worry, the ai will leave goldshire when ai developers paywall nsfw content.
I now know what I must do. Eonar guide me true.
With a deep breath and a sincerity rarely heard in a dwarven voice.
So, how many chairs would I need to bring with me to secure my place on WrA?
Three.
One for you, one for me, and one for a friend joining us for some beer.
Great but I’m gluten intolerant. Anyway, the ever looming shadow grows over Elwynn. I’m going off the grid in preparation for the chaos that AI-RP is getting ready to unleash. I’ll be heading into the wilderness of Loch Modan. I have found a proper hermit cave and there are plenty of ballistas left over from the wars. They should provide me with all the reclaimed wood I will need to build chairs.
Two RPers using AI, copy-pasting text into WoW, only halfway paying attention while staring at rain falling on the window, listless – both characters in-game arguing in /say about who is Wrathion’s partner and who’s the side piece… still a better story than Shadowlands.
Chatgpt:
Character 1 (ElfMage42): Halfheartedly typing into WoW Ugh, rain… Why do I even bother with this game anymore?
Character 2 (DwarfRogue99): Casually copy-pasting responses Yeah, I feel you. Just here for the sake of it. What’s even the point?
ElfMage42: Glances at the rain-soaked window Wrathion’s partner? Clearly, it’s Anduin. They’ve got that mysterious connection.
DwarfRogue99: Pfft, no way. Wrathion’s totally vibing with Alexstrasza. Dragons stick together, you know?
ElfMage42: Alexstrasza? Seriously? She’s like a thousand years old. Anduin makes more sense.
DwarfRogue99: Age is just a number, elf. Anduin’s too busy being the poster boy for the Alliance. Wrathion needs someone with a bit more edge, like Alexstrasza.
ElfMage42: Edge? You call flying around on a dragon “edge”? Anduin’s got the whole prince thing going on. It’s perfect.
DwarfRogue99: Prince charming, huh? More like a side piece. Alexstrasza’s the main attraction.
ElfMage42: Please, Alexstrasza is ancient. Anduin is the fresh face Wrathion needs.
DwarfRogue99: You’re delusional, elf. Anduin is just the sidekick in this epic dragon tale.
ElfMage42: Sighs This is more entertaining than Shadowlands, though.
DwarfRogue99: Agreed. At least we can argue about fictional romances while the rain ruins our real lives.
Both characters continue their halfhearted banter, the rain tapping against the window as their WoW avatars bicker in /say.
An AI-generated conversation about AI-generated RP is indeed a better story than Shadowlands
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
harder worgen show me ur beast
thissssss
I am here to write alongside someone else. Not… me and a bot lol
My opinion on AI in the current context:
-Art- ugly, crap, lazy
-Writing- Lame, lazy, crap
-Altering images or Videos- scam, crap , horrible , scam
-Altering voices - Crap, horrible, scam , bad technology
-Chat AI- dumb, useless, maybe humorous for a few moments.
AI has the potential to do some cool thing with upscaling images, etc- but honestly all I’ve really seen of it in the hands of people has the potential to scam and harm others.
AI in general: Kill it with Fire
