Tabletop: AI and gaming

The RPG Blog Carnival has landed at Of Dice and Dragons with the topic of AI and gaming.

This is my hot take.

There are only some places AI belongs at my table. Not as the GM. Not ever as the GM. GM, like player, is a human-only activity.

AI should at most serve as an assistant to the GM. For example, when I need a unique monster in the next ten minutes, or I need a token for the VTT, and I have some image gen credits left.

Otherwise, no no no no no no… Nope.

File this as Games on Open Mentions as there’s no Table Top Category yet… (hint, we want one)

What do I hate?

I hate bigotry dressed up as patriotism

I hate seeing children cry (especially when it could have been avoided)

I hate it when people dismiss the anime art form and call it “just cartoons for kids”.

I hate racism dressed up as national pride

I hate those who steal from others while pretending to help them

I hate political lies

I loathe and hate the marginalisation of societal groups dressed up as “protecting the children”.

I hate it when newspapers push lies to increase ad revenue

I hate when one group is made to suffer for the benefit of another, more powerful group.

I hate pain

I hate that there is so much to hate
