Please incorporate ChatGPT into this game! Imagine the storylines!

I disagree vehemently and violently with this suggestion. Dwarf Fortress's charm results from human-crafted procedures interacting in unexpected and fascinating ways.

If ChatGPT (or other AI bullshit generators) were used instead, it would change the experience entirely.

What do you mean "instead"? A custom GPT would have to be crafted for this game by humans anyway, and used to augment the human-written content. Much of this game's gameplay is emergent and hard to predict using deterministic algorithms.

You gotta admit DFs name / description generation is just gobbledygook most of the time. Tastefully applied, AI bullshit generators will do wonders to readability.

Yes, it's janky - but I _like_ the jankiness.

Not everything needs to be perfectly formatted with ideal flow and Hemingway-esque readability.

The gobbledygook is absolutely the point! It’s charming, fun, and gives the game a constant stream of interesting interactions.

Why are you so aggressively dismissing ChatGPT? Maybe it has no place in this game but it's a technological marvel nonetheless.

I violently AGREE with you! <the severed comment flies off in an arc!>

"Please add ChatGPT" is the new "please rewrite it in Rust."

Please rewrite it in rust with chatGPT !

Imagine the OpenAI bill.

Imagine developing the tech be usable in any game.

Actually I think this might be a very useful addition to Legends mode. Right now it is pretty tedious and difficult to extract meaningful narrative from what is essentially a log dump, but if there were a LLM trained to weave those dry tomes into wild stories that would be pretty neat.

I would like AI generated images of monsters, heroes, items and events

It's such an obvious usecase. Can't wait for a workable implementation somewhere.

...based entirely on the images from Moraff's Dungeon please.

Once we get that kind of generation into games it will be incredible.

...and NFT item store with prices in dwarfcoins?

What does NFT has to do with anything? What's with people on this site thinking one of the biggest tech revolution of our lifetime is the same as a scam that has no utility whatsoever?
