Question for Text Based RPGers
Posted: Dec 1st, '23, 09:58
Its not really a thread to RP in, but I really wanted to pick yalls brain.
I love in depth storyline and worlds, but recently on a different site, came across this really full functioning looking game! Empires, family lines, history, the whole 9 yards. I put in my application, wanting to connect with other players to build previously established storylines, but once I got in, the game felt... hollow. The details I saw for the world building and setting didn't translate to the players in the game. It just didn't feel like a fun game, so I left.
Once I did some snooping, it turned out the GMs of the game used a bunch of AI programs to fluff up their world and background information. And it made me realize that I wasn't drawn in my the GMs imagination, but what the AI had written.
As a player or GM, do you ever use AI to write things for you in spice up the game? I felt like it completely destroyed the game for me, and seeing as it soon died, I think they moved on and left the site as it wasn't what seem to jive with other players.
Sorry, maybe I am old school. Just curious about your thoughts.
