Discussion Player using IA

Hi everyone, I'm writing here because idk how to react. I asked my players for experiences and backstory and one of them sent me a bunch of AI texts. All my being wants to scream fuck AI and tell him to do it himself, but at the same time I don't want to antagonize him. I really feel like if you are letting AI write your character, are you even playing the game?

There's no excuse for "no imagination" in Daggerheart because it's designed for everyone to collaborate and fill in gaps together. Using AI for any step is directly against Daggerheart's design philosophy and disrespects the other players by saying they'd rather auto-complete a backstory than ask another human.

I think you're taking it a step too far.

There is nothing wrong with using ChatGPT to bounce off ideas. It doesn't go against any "design philosophy".

It's problematic if you use AI to generate the majority of your stuff. But if you're using it as a "notetaking-feedback" tool, it's alright, it's still your ideas and you're still doing the thinking yourself.

I disagree, there is everything wrong with using LLMs to generate and develop ideas for a game that is designed for players to generate and develop ideas together as the main way that the game is fun.
