Thrall had known for some time that Sylvanas had changed. She had become a leader who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, no matter how many lives were lost in the process. He had heard the whispers of her plans to burn the World Tree, and knew that he could not stand idly by and let it happen.
He challenged her to Mak'gora, a duel of honor that would decide the fate of their people. Sylvanas accepted, and they met on the battlefield.
The two warriors circled each other, sizing each other up. Sylvanas was quick and agile, her arrows finding their mark with deadly precision. Thrall was strong and determined, his strikes powerful and true.
The battle raged on for what felt like hours, each blow exchanged with equal force. Thrall's friends and allies watched from a distance, hoping against hope that he would emerge victorious.
Finally, Thrall landed a blow that sent Sylvanas reeling. She stumbled, falling to one knee, her bow clattering to the ground. Thrall stood over her, his axe raised high.
For a moment, Sylvanas looked defeated. But then a sinister smile crept across her face. She whispered something under her breath, and then, in a burst of dark energy, disappeared into thin air.
Thrall knew then that she had not been fighting alone, and that her true plan was still in motion. With a heavy heart, he rushed back to his people, determined to stop Sylvanas before it was too late.
And so began the Battle for Azeroth, a conflict that would change the course of history forever. But for Thrall, the memory of his victory over Sylvanas in Mak'gora would always be a symbol of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the spirit of honor and courage could still triumph over darkness.
Its given prompt was âThrall stops Sylvanas from burning the world treeâ and it was smart enough to not only keep her alive, but have her be smug about it and Thrall realize âwell, crap. She still has toadies.â
Idk, Sylvanas blowing up Saurfang was at least a nice bit of sweetness on top of the pile. The version you posted didnât have much âsanctimonious Orc being blown up.â
Good Writers for what exactly? Surely Good Novels written by Good Novel Writers will still be published while Good Quest, Film/TV Show Script and Cutscene Writers will be recruited for training the AI to get better and better at their Jobs.
Training AIs should be a luxurious position I would hope.
I hope so. And it speaks volumes that ChatGPT came up with something better than a significant chunk of what WoWâs writers wrote. While it can do some good, Iâm also getting Pandoraâs Box vibes about AI.
I mean it already happened years ago when decent machine translators got out. Real translators got put out of work or reduced pay.
Sadly a machine canât think critically or make changes that forward the authorâs intent in the new language better than just a straight-up translation.
Translation and localization is itself an undervalued art. Since a good one can be just as magical as the OG.
You gave it the prompt to not do Blizzardâs dumbest decision and say it writes better then them.
Itâd be one thing if it created this essentially wholecloth rewriting âA Good Warâ, but when itâs being directed to write something better then Blizzard did itâs obviously gonna do that.
I understand your frustration with it, because it retains Sylvanasâs villainy.
But it is objectively superior.
It stops the player character from being damned against their will, while still allowing player characters to choose to be her toadies.
I wouldnât consider it superior since it basically switches Tyrandeâs position to Thrall despite him not earning that right to be her⌠rival you get me?
