Thank you. I play D&D and our DM was super hyped about some holiday one shot scenaios they got from ChatGPT. They were on and on about how they would never have to think about plot planning ever again. We dint end up playing them but I read the 3 different scenaios and I just wasnt impressed and I didn’t understand why. It was completely predictible in a weird way. After reading your post and thinking back on it the scenarios felt more plagerized predictable rather than trope predictible. Tropes while predicitble can be funny and charming. While a knock off reproduction is only enjoyable for its ability to miss the mark.
Anyway, thank you for helping me figure out how to put into words why I was not on the “this is amazing” train. I thought I just didn’t get it.
Yeah I think they get bedazzled by the novelty of shinny and new. Which isnt a bad thingn its exciting. What should happen in general with all new things is exploring the depth and determining the best use for your needs. Then understanding and accepting it may not actually fulfill all or any of the needs.
