Don't know if you're aware or interested but there's a guy who trains models on classic RPG art and you can get some pretty good effects going that evoke a certain era of gaming. https://civitai.com/user/ClassicRPGArt (the old Rifts, Battletech, and Shadowrun styles are in there!) I'm really starting to get into this and I think where this is probably going is specific models trained on narrow concepts that are applied to broad based models for whatever image you're trying to create. I'm seeing some pretty good stuff on models that just get fed a bunch of stuff from certain concepts - you go from not being able to get anywhere near the output you're looking for in the base model to getting very good stuff from the trained model. There is a chance that those models get "overtrained" though - there's one floating around that produces nothing but Dishonored people (as in, people who look like they are from the video game Dishonored - gaunt, narrow faces and prominent cheekbones) no matter how hard you try to get it to produce something else.

I had this exact thing happen with my grave domain cleric. It wasn't even eating corpses, he's a tortle and they give birth old so I thought, fascination with death begins when he hatches and his parents are already dead. Now he searches for more "family" (corpses) Nope that's too spooky for ChatGPT. I tried arguing with it but quote:I understand, and I agree that D&D can explore dark themes, including death and the afterlife. However, as an AI language model, I strive to provide responses that are appropriate for a wide range of audiences, and I want to ensure that any backstories I suggest are respectful and inclusive.

Hey so I like Shadowrun, GPT-4 just came out so I gave it a shot and see what it could do. This is a crosspost from the GBS AI thread but fits here more considering the context: I caved and subbed to the Chat GPT+ thing to mess with GTP-4 and boy howdy. If you play pen and paper RPGs and like me, think Shadowrun rules, well this thing has you covered. If you don't know or care about Shadowrun then this might not mean much, but I am wholly impressed. Again. My Prompt to GPT-4 posted:I would like you to write me a backstory for a 40 year old Street Samurai (he is a Hawaiian dwarf) in the Shadowrun Universe. In the story the year is currently 2058. This 40 year old Dwarf had a father he was close with that was uncomfortably close with the corporate world and specifically the dragon Dunkelzahn. GPT-4 posted:Name: Kainalu "Tidal Wave" Kahananui I am by no means some Shadowrun lore expert, but I'm reading this and going This is wild, wild poo poo to me, for it to understand context like it does completely in universe. Feed it a few details and it goes hog-wild, well above and beyond anything I'd write for my own character, let alone an NPC. It understands that metahumans typically have it tough, it understands the whole corporate world thing, but beyond all that it gave the dude a nickname and then at the very end used the theme of his nickname to end the text as a story hook tying it all together. It named his father, tied in where he was from with Hawaiian lore, sprinkled in a lot of hooks for other ways to enrich the story. A whole lot of role players are about to get way better stories in their games for sure. EDIT lmao gently caress My Continued Prompt to GPT-4 posted:Can you describe Kainalu, physically? GPT-4 posted:Kainalu "Tidal Wave" Kahananui is a distinctive figure, embodying both the strength of his dwarf heritage and the grace of his Hawaiian roots. Standing at 4 feet 2 inches tall, he possesses a solid, muscular build that belies his small stature. His broad shoulders and powerful limbs are a testament to his years of rigorous training in the martial art of Lua and the grueling life of a street samurai. My Continued Prompt to GPT-4 posted:Can you describe Kainalu's childhood friend? Make them human, but otherwise the details can be anything. It's also up to you to decide if they are still friends now that they are adults, and how this friend fits into Kainalu's life. GPT-4 posted:Name: Leilani "Whirlwind" Kealoha My Continued Prompt to GPT-4 posted:Can you describe Leilani physically? GPT-4 posted:Leilani "Whirlwind" Kealoha is a striking figure who embodies the grace and power of the Hawaiian islands. Standing at 5 feet 8 inches tall, she possesses a lean, athletic build, honed through years of rigorous training in the martial art of Kapu Kuialua. Her toned muscles and agile movements speak to her dedication and expertise in her chosen discipline. this is loving nuts Just spin up fully formed NPCs or hell, even main characters in minutes. EDIT x2 I won't keep posting blocks of text because boring as poo poo no matter the context, BUT I asked it to make the Tidal Wave guys dad, and it made a mistake. It made him a dwarf too, but born in 1990. I told GTP4 this fact, and asked it to change the father into a human but also take into account UGE (Unexplained Genetic Expression, when elves and dwarves were born to human parents). It gave me the same story with the details changed and a section on him dealing with his UGE baby. KakerMix fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Mar 15, 2023 |

This has come up before, but if they didn't want to give consent to being scraped they shouldn't have.... given consent to being scraped. All of the data scraping done for the major AIs from what's been made public obeyed robots.txt and identified themselves as specific to what they were doing (like common crawl is ccbot.) This has been the standard we've had in place on the Internet for saying whether you consent or don't consent to being scraped for almost 30 years. Every single person who had anything scraped that was used in the AIs either uploaded data somewhere that had a permissive robots.txt or they had a permissive robots.txt themselves.

I think musing or having questions is fine, but a more indepth discussion should probably happen in a dedicated thread in D&D because this thread should be mainly about how to have fun with the AI to do neat things and report back.

The big money who make money from advertising on their websites that people don't need to visit if their content has been scraped and is being regurgitated by the new chat AI frontends to search, presumably. Similarly to why Getty Images is going after image generators. AIs paraphrasing your content means you get no clicks. It's not even telling you sources unless you explicitly ask for them. The natural reaction if there is no regulation will be to pull everything of value behind paywalls to prevent the AIs from being able to scrape them, and that's not a great result for people interested in continuing to have all that free content. Robot.txt isn't permission to copy your content, it's to index it. This is a new case in which "indexing" is allowing an offsite company to reproduce your content, paraphrased and blended with other site's similar content. The people that own these AI programs are trying to make the argument that it's the same thing, and that argument is probably going to wind up having to be tested in court. The practical outcome will be that people who can, will put up paywalls to prevent a big chunk of their traffic from being redirected to an AI frontend they have no control over and get no revenue from. People who can't, may just take down their stuff, or find avenues to share it where it can't be scraped.

Leperflesh posted:
Koster's original proposal didn't say anything about indexing, it was about "robots" in general, indicating "if a server maintainer wants robots to access their server, and if so which parts" and actually the original threads that led to it being created weren't about indexing, they were about bots downloading a bunch of documents slowing down some people's webservers. Just because indexing is probably the most common thing bots do in the internet today doesn't mean that's the only thing it's for, if it was robots.txt could be even simpler than it is. Koster still hosts robotstxt.org which gives a definition of "robots" that includes a bot used for "mirroring" (and indexing, and other things) SD, GPT, and then whichever ones use the pile dataset got their data from websites from Common Crawl. Common Crawl was scraping urls for "(providing) a copy of the internet to internet researchers, companies and individuals at no cost for the purpose of research and analysis." Which I think, "copy" is pretty explicit that the data is going to be downloaded to be used for things. And it was always an option to exclude their bot.

Fanfiction is by its nature a grey area of fair use depending on the goodwill of publishers, but flatly republishing it (as well as all the original fiction on AO3 as well) is not a licit use of that data. Nothing is being flatly republished, though. I have had things published (short stories and poems in some literary journals) and, if you wanted to read my story and be inspired to create something based around it as a concept, or if you wanted to quote me, or if you wanted to use that as a basis for an "unauthorized sequel", or if you wanted to write a review of it or whatever you can do that, and you should be able to do that. If you wanted to make a copy of it for personal use or take a picture of you reading it, or you wanted to write a script that counts how many times I reference Detroit because you suspect it's way too many, or to run OCR on it so you can listen to it instead of read it, or publish a summary of it on your website, these things are all fine. The one thing that's not is just taking the whole text and publishing it on your own as it is, except in certain circumstances. Like, if you are google books, or if you are archive.org and there are these specific purposes that fall under fair use you can also do that. The journals I was published in are in large enough journals that I'm likely somewhere in there in the training data, but if I asked it to reproduce something I've written it would be absolutely incapable of doing that. The words I wrote are nowhere inside the model, just an idea of them. You could maybe ask it to write something in my style and it would dump out pages of Detroit but that's not anything I own. But the fact remains that, Common Crawl was always very explicit about what they were doing. There was never any mystery that this is what the bot was collecting data for, that it was for the "wholesale extraction, transformation and analysis of web data." At any time before it was scraped (and likely after, if you asked them) there was a simple, established solution that they could have easily done. But they didn't. edit: I looked it up, common crawl will take your data out of the database if you ask them even though they likely aren't legally required to. They're not legally required to obey robots.txt in the US either, but they do that too obviously. BrainDance fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Mar 20, 2023 |

An artist's style, in today's incredibly stupid, reductive, exploitative economy, is how they make a living. Their style is their draw, it's the knife's edge preventing them from being literal starving artists. The best way to get that style out there is the internet, and the best way to pull eyes toward their work is via search engines. Once their work has been used to train an AI, they no longer have that advantage. And now they have to go fight to get their stuff removed from training sets, and fight aggregators who don't see anything wrong from letting the art they retain be used for this, and learn or pay someone to navigate the technical stuff to keep their art from being scraped again, and try to get their potential customers to stop using these free alternatives that they think are just as good. (They're not, but they don't have the eye to see it.) It's a giant headache, so much so that it would just be as easy to give up. They're already clawing to survive, they don't need another fight on top of that. AIs aren't sticking it to Big Art. They're the Wal-Mart that's gonna run all the mom&pops out of business.

I had this idea to make a chatGPT assistant Game Master, I would feed it all the information about my homebrew campaign world and then discuss ideas about my campaign with it. At first it was pretty cool as I fed it information it wou throw back suggestions. Then after a few days I came back and started asking it questions and it poo poo the bed, giving me contradictory and generic answers. So I started interrogating it about why. It explained that it had a limited amount of conversation memory but that it could not articulate how much that memory was, or how far back it went. Although it was able to tell me the last thing we had discussed that it still had in it's memory it could not tell me when that occurred. It also explained to me that it could not provide time stamps on responses because it was not aware of anything after 2021, but it did it anyway inconsistently and in varying formats. It was frustrating but also kinda cool interrogating an AI on it's capabilities, it felt like the scene from 2010 when the dr asks HAL why he malfunctioned.

ChatGPT is great as idea generator, but you absolutely can't trust it to manage information, even (no, ESPECIALLY) about stuff generated by it. I tried to create some more complex rules but the only way I found to always keep consistency was to copypaste one or more of its old answers before my question.

I'd like to invite folks to have a discussion about moderation of AI topics in TG, over in the stickied feedback thread. This can include whether/where we could have a space for discussion of AI-generated content and projects without general criticism of AI, or if that's just not a thing that should exist, etc. Meanwhile, I'll continue to let conversations run here, and encourage people engaging with these tools for their projects to continue to talk about them.

If I understand the capabilities of GPT4, you could potentially have a campaign document that you linked to the AI with each prompt that would help mitigate this limitation.

The honest truth is that at this point I have seen multiple long-form news shows (including John Oliver) and multiple legal podcast/shows (including LegalEagle) cover AI ethics and legality/lawsuits from every possible angle. I have yet to see a single post on these forums that has added anything new to the conversation that hasn't already been said in greater depth or with more eloquence than what has already been covered in 100 different places. That's why I referred to it as "screaming onto the void". There's absolutely nothing that's going to change by posting here, and nothing new is going to develop until the lawsuits conclude or you convince your lawmaker to make a new law (so use ChatGPT to help you write a letter to your congressperson!). If you really want to keep wringing your hands over the issue, you be you, but there's not much more that can be said than, "Ok." and moving on. So, back on topic, I've found ChatGPT has been really useful for developing evocative descriptions of things, whether it's a room, the weather on a creepy night, or the state of a crime scene. The free version can still spit out some great descriptions if you tell it the style you want to mimic, or you can do what CthulluArchitect is doing and just feed the home version nothing but Lovecraft and then tell it to talk about basically anything and it will describe something as mundane as a grocery store as some kind of journey into the darkness of mankind.
