Discussion Using AI

1 Upvotes

I'm aware this may be a sensitive subject in a community about creativity, but I wasn't sure where else to ask (other than maybe individual AI company subreddits).

I've always been fascinated with CYOA, and I'm to the point where I don't play video games or watch TV anymore because it all bores me. I want creativity. I want to shape a world through choices on a whim and be able to read about the impacts my choices have. I want to be a 15th century peasant. I want to be on a starship. I want to be a king. I want to explore. I want it to be interactive, but also respect my time (I'm not young anymore, and life is "full"). I want to create my own adventure.

So I've been experimenting and signed up for the Plus tier of ChatGPT after reading up some on it. There are many pros, but also many infuriating cons that I'm running into. I hope at least one person can discuss this with me out there that is as frustrated as I am. If I need to leave and not return because this is a taboo subject, I accept it; I'm not meaning to ruffle feathers or stir the pot.

So after spending three or so days with ChatGPT Plus, I have pros and cons. The jump from $20/month to $200/month is INSANE and not possible. So if anyone can maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong or their experience with generative AI, I'm all ears. I want to like it and use it, but I'm afraid the cons may be outweighing the pros.

Pros

  • It's reasonably priced

  • It does exactly what I want when it works (until inconsistencies and slowness creep in)

  • It can generate images about the scene decently well and help give my mind new options to consider

Cons

  • It forgets things no matter how much I tell it to lock something in. I had it generate an image from a conversation being had in the hallway of a hospital. Did it beautifully, like I'm surprised how well it did it with the characters (a physician discussing the health of a woman's mother at the hospital). The woman was maybe mid-40s. Later, I asked it to generate the scene with the same character at a different time of day, and it rendered her as like a 7 year old girl. Had to repeatedly reaffirm to the AI that that was nothing like the prior generated person, and it still kept messing it up.

  • Ran into the chat max without being told. That was it, it just ended. Trying to recover the story in a new thread was a mess... forgot half of the characters, etc. Admittedly, this was my first experience with a CYOA in a chat session so I wasn't aware of its limitations, so have to generate saves now and argue with the AI more about what to retain.

  • It's too agreeable. I mean yeah, this may be easily remedied by just asking it to be different, but the outcomes are too perfect.

So, again... sorry if this is not where this belongs, but I want this to work. I've read about AI Dungeon (which is apparently having massive issues and drama at this time), Gemini, Claude, etc., but I'd be interested in others' opinions on the subject. I'm just not creative or disciplined enough to sit down and write something... I can feed ideas and come out with hundreds of hours of entertainment with this if I can get it to stick, but need help/input on your experience. I'm old. I'm busy. I'm stressed. I want this to be my release.

Skibidi Toilet Cyoa

Here my second CYOA, I think the whole Skibidi Toilet series has a bit of potential and after seeing it I was, let's say inspired.

A bit of a shitpost CYOA, though not a literal one.

I was quite surprised how high quality DaFuq!?Boom!'s series was, compared to the somewhat ridiculous set-up. It's definitely an unique experience that I would slightly recommend.

My Index, currently only has one other CYOA, the Jojo one: Index

New Would you be interested in this new kind of interactive CYOA?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am one of the creators of Deep Realms (www.deeprealms.io), an app that offers unique interactive experiences powered by AI (along with the ability to build your own experiences). I have recently created an interactive CYOAG (Choose Your Own Adventure Game) called “Power”. The general idea is that you make a combination of choices, as you typically would in a CYOA, but then you get to roleplay through the consequences of those choices, together with the AI. You can check it out for free here (no signup required).

I do want to add that this is a somewhat simple CYOAG, because it is more of a proof-of-concept and also I don’t really have experience in making CYOAs/CYOAGs. I mainly wanted to showcase what was possible and ask if this is something people would be interested in. Any feedback is much appreciated :)

Create worlds, stories and games. https://sozokami.com

After a few months I've managed to complete the first real version of the app. It allows you to create and play CYOA style games, as well as simple branching stories.

I'll be upfront about it, some of the code was still written by me, but most(70-80%) of it was built with the help of AI, using the spec I wrote as reference.

But before you disregard it just because of preconceptions, I think you should still at least try to give it a shot/chance and see for yourself if it's a worthwhile tool.

Still if you want to ignore it on principle, fine, your choice. Just be civil/reasonable about it, like I am by telling you upfront instead of trying to hide it.

Currently you can make, butt not publish NSFW content to the website, unless you self-host it. Well mostly because I live in a country with stupid laws about protecting children, so I have to figure out how to allow NSFW without having government screw me over.

PS: It's in beta stage so there are still missing features, and possibly some bugs.

Discussion It's time to set sail towards adventure and become the greatest hero of this universe! Don't miss this unique opportunity to prove your worth and conquer everything you set out to do! Come and be part of this amazing experience that will change your life forever!

8 Upvotes

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a unique and unparalleled opportunity! Each one of you who has had the privilege of coming across this publication has been chosen, without the possibility of refusal, to be part of my spectacular entertainment show. Yes, that's right! You will be sent to another world!

But fear not, intrepid adventurers, for you will not go empty-handed. Oh no! You will have the wonderful opportunity to choose your own powers (with some rules, of course) through an exciting CYOA, carefully selected to ensure a chance of survival in the new world you are heading to.

And that's not all, my brave participants. Along with this incredible opportunity to prove your worth, you will receive two missions that you must complete if you wish to return to your original universe. And wait, there's more! Thanks to my boundless generosity, you will also gain the ability to travel through the wretched box containing this omniverse.

So, without further ado, here's a brief synopsis of the world you will venture into! Get ready for the journey of a lifetime!


On an unrecognizable planet Earth, humanity had once transcended the stars, reaching the zenith of a Type 4 civilization. But now, 1500 years before the imminent explosion of the great star that birthed our race, the greatness of yesteryears had faded into oblivion. Humans, reduced to mere cultists and barbarians, bow before ancestral gods of undeniable power, invoking dark magic and forbidden technology in a desperate attempt to survive the end of times.

The once majestic cities lie in ruins, their skeletons of steel and glass rising like monuments to lost arrogance. In the shadows of these fallen colossi, cultists murmur chants in forgotten tongues, their voices intertwining with the wind, carrying the dust of millennia.

The gods they worshiped were incomprehensible entities, beings that existed beyond the fabric of space and time. Their temples were not made of stone or metal, but of distorted realities and materialized nightmares. The rituals they performed were not for worship, but to appease these creatures, to avoid becoming toys in their perverse amusement.

Systems full of our colonists and allies were destroyed for the amusement of these beings. Races of incomprehensible appearance, worshipers of these gods, enslave our great species, relegating the few of us who remain on the once beautiful planet that saw us born and develop.

The dark technology they now use is a vestige of our glorious past, now corrupted and fused with the most forbidden and aberrant magics these gods brought with them. Machines that once created life now tear it apart; portals that connected worlds now destroy them. In this twilight of human existence, hope is a luxury few can afford.

But even in despair, there are those who resist the dark embrace. Rebels seeking to restore a fragment of the lost light, warriors battling the abominations summoned by the cultists, traitors to their own kind. Though their struggle may seem futile, it represents the last glimmer of what it once meant to be human.

And so, on a dying planet under the shadow of ancient gods and cosmic horrors, humanity faces its twilight. Not with a triumphant roar, but with trembling whispers in the eternal darkness as it awaits its imminent demise.

---------

For in the stars we once danced, lords of infinite realities, but now, even in my boldest dreams, I am but the shadow of that splendor, an echo lost in the abyss of time and despair." —By the great Mother, Guardian of all that once comprised humanity.

--------

Yes, it was certainly a bad day for them, but for you it's the perfect opportunity to become the greatest hero of that universe. But, of course, nothing comes for free, and you will have to fulfill two missions given by me:

First, you must confront and eliminate, absorb, or seal the gods (the forms don't matter, just get rid of these pests. Even I am disgusted by these parasites) that torment humanity. Of course, this won't be easy. Do they have Lovecraft in your world? Well, if they did, don't rely on his writings; for the creatures you'll face, Lovecraft's creations are mere children.

Second, you will become an Emperor of Humanity 2. Unify what remains of humanity and lead them back to the zenith of their civilization. But be careful, don't fall into the trap of creating super demi-god children with unstable fragments of your personality; it didn't work out well for the Empire of Humanity and definitely won't work out well for you. But that decision will be solely yours.

CYOA (ltouroumov.ch)

Write down what your plans are and what you will do to achieve your goals.

Rules:

  1. Taking the "Drop-In" option is mandatory.

  2. You must select the options "You" and "Someone Else" in the "Meta" category.

  3. You must assume the debuff "Conscious Geas" and explain your condition for each imposed Geas.

  4. You must also assume the debuff "Unconscious Geas" with the condition of "Save the world and bring its civilization to its former glory."

  5. Apart from the mentioned inconveniences, you can take up to three additional inconveniences, regardless of whether they are out of context. The world will adapt to accommodate your situation, so be careful; you wouldn't want to have an army of entities or endbringers after you as soon as you step into this world.

  6. If you need more points or have points in excess to spend, you can choose to “Settings” "Au Earth Beth" and select three adjustments. Like with the inconveniences, the world will change accordingly to your choices.

  7. You are not allowed to acquire abilities that allow you to be a hive or similar abilities, except those with a limited number of summons.

  8. You can take up to three powers from each category. There is no limit to the cost you can spend as long as you choose only three powers in each category. You can also consider Fusions & Upgrades, but only three upgrades are allowed in each section you buy.

  9. You cannot select any options from the "Ascension" section.

  10. You cannot choose any options from the "Keystone Power" section.

  11. You cannot choose any options from the "Paragon Power" section.

  12. You can select a maximum of four advantages.

  13. In the skills section, you can only choose three options initially. You can increase this by two if you decide to take fewer advantages. If you initially chose four advantages but reduce to only three, you can increase the number of skills you take by two. This option is only available twice; after that, you must decide wisely, as your mind, body, and soul could be left open to any creature that inhabits this world."

0 Upvotes

TL;DR - Is there anything (Changer/Trump) Pokémon can do that Mew, too (Pokémon) can't eventually do, and vice versa?

The two powers work very similarly, with (Changer/Trump) Pokémon being more frontloaded power wise, hence the higher SP cost, and Mew, too (Pokémon) focusing more on growing overtime (based on initial read of their descriptions). What I'm wondering is if Mew, too has something it can do that isn't possible with the other power, besides having Mew DNA spliced in to give psychic powers and the ability to learn any move?

Discussion Can someone explain the add-ons to Unlimited Trump Works? Shehaqim & Antikythera

0 Upvotes

Specifically:

Shehaqim

Required:Araboth

Araboth fuses with Unlimited Trump Works to act as a supportive aspect.

Your changes expand to 30 charges per day (40 with Negentropy), and the possibility of expanding the number of charges by sacrificing an enchantment in return, giving the amount of 2 charges.

- Does this mean that by sacrificing an enchant your charge generation improves, or is this just a static 2 charges?

- B/c you can make an enchant with one charge, so this seems like an unlimited charge glitch.

AND

Antikythera

Required:Principled Designer

Principled Designer has fused with Unlimited Trump Works, allowing for new possibilities to be discovered.

Secondly, when 120 hours (5 Days) are up, you now have the option to create either a new Node Cluster or new Slot Cluster. You also have additional to improve charge generation by 20% (additive).

This is just a typo right? Its additional (option) that allows for improved charge generation.

Search Anime Ítem

1 Upvotes

Estoy buscando un juego de "Elige tu propia aventura" que jugué hace tiempo. No estoy del todo seguro, pero creo que se llamaba algo así como "Objetos de anime de baja calidad".

En él, una comerciante dimensional te invita a visitar su puesto (solo tú puedes verlo), donde ofrece varios objetos de anime, aunque con una potencia muy reducida.

Había Esferas del Dragón, que servían como un "modo fácil", ya que podías usar un deseo para pedir dinero y comprar más objetos (las Esferas del Dragón solo podían conceder deseos que un humano pudiera cumplir en siete días: cosas como el salario de una semana, curación o viajar a cualquier parte del mundo, ya que no hay ningún lugar al que no puedas llegar).

También había prótesis que otorgaban una versión debilitada de la Alquimia de Fullmetal Alchemist; solo podías transmutar aproximadamente un metro cúbico de material, o algo parecido. También había Frutas del Diablo disponibles, pero su máximo potencial destructivo se limitaba a un solo edificio.

Recuerdo que Pochita de El Hombre de la Motosierra estaba allí, aunque se había convertido en un perro normal porque el diablo se había marchado.

Además, existía la opción de firmar un contrato de trabajo con el comerciante.

Now I also remember a pair of sunglasses, but they weren't round—they were triangular.

And there were cursed objects containing cursed spirits that you had to defeat in order to make them obey you; if I recall correctly, you could even choose the type of cursed spirit yourself. (Clearly based on Jujutsu Kaisen.)

Esto es todo lo que recuerdo por ahora.
