I made a virtual bartender discord bot for my home bar. I specify style, ingredients, special requests, and chatgpt invents something. Then it sends the result to dall-e who makes a thumbnail for it.
If I’m bored I like to have it explain things in various ways. E.g
- Explain ____ in the style of Douglas Adams
- … without using the letter T
- … in cyberpunk style but Elizabethan English
- … as if it were an episode of Family Fued
lol
I use it to get ideas and run numbers for my homebrew Pathfinder campaign. That and midjouney and I feel like a real GM.
Same. I’m a new DM (and new to dnd in general, DM’d one one-shot and that’s it, working on a campaign rn) and I use bard to make my narrative ideas fit the mechanics, name homebrew stuff, and clean up the text I’m writing for the players handbook I’m making for this campaign.
I’m a long-time DM and I find ChatGPT awesome for this sort of thing too. I call it my “brainstorming buddy.” Great for bouncing ideas off of, suggesting names for stuff, and so forth.
I’ve found that it’s not very good at game mechanics, though, so don’t rely too heavily on it for balancing stuff.
I’ve used it a little for RPG gm help, but it wasn’t as great as I would like. Half of it is me needing to be a better GM without the need for such tools, and get better at improvisation.
Use it to have low risk conversations to trick your brain into getting extroverted energy
High IQ play right there.
I let it rate my day in hundreds and propose some ideas for making it better
Interesting! Care to share an example?
Sure. Here’s an example
Please evaluate my day using a scale from 1 to 100, where 1 represents the worst imaginable day, and 100 signifies the best day of my life. I'd like to understand the factors that influenced this rating and receive recommendations for potential actions or adjustments to enhance my day. Here's a summary of my activities today:It’s definitely not the best prompt so please customize depending on your needs.
You can give it a website layout made in ms paint and it’ll try to turn it into html and css
You could probably take a picture of a drawing and have it do that, as well
Its a pretty good teacher because you can ask the same question over and over until you understand.
There are some limitations. I’ve asked some questions relating to my courses and it doesn’t always get it right.
The biggest issue imo is that due to the way it works, it never just says “i dont know, i dont have information on that topic”. Instead it just makes something up.
I’m a fan of the SCP Foundation, and sometimes when I’m bored I’ll go to ChatGPT and tell it “Please write an SCP entry for an anomalous \ that does .” If the resulting SCP entry is interesting I will “explore” it by asking “Write an exploration log in which an MTF team climbs down the giant toilet bowl” or “Write an interview log with the woman who turned into a snail.” And so forth.

Smarter than expecting an intellectual conversation with a LLM.
Wtf? This is a weird take lol
The ideologically opposed have very rarely actually used the machines they rail against. It was the same with the internet and the computer. Neo-luddites doing impressions of ostriches.
I’ve literally never been able to talk about the noosphere satisfyingly with a human. Powerful NLPs are very capable of having intellectual discussions, even if they don’t actually have intellect.
Every time I’ve had a conversation with it and it “gets deep”, it changes the subject. Like this for example, something like that would never happen on there (you might say I tried just that). I would not count on it.
Tell it not to.
Make a GPT using their tool or give it custom instructions if you need to. Also try pi.ai. It’s more informal but I’ve had great conversations with it.
I’ve begun to use it, though so far it’s more or less paraphrasing what ChatGPT is saying. Any special methods I should use?
Has anyone else tried talking to it about “AI art”? What kind of exchange occurred?
I have GPT4. What would you like to ask it? I’ll relay its response to you
Ask it to defend AI generated art, but it can only reply in Shakespearen English.
Hark! Ye skeptics of this new-found art,
Born not of hand, but of machine’s smart heart.
Think not of it as mere soulless craft,
But as a wondrous tool, with future aft.Behold, how it doth weave with pixels bright,
Images that captivate our mortal sight.
No more the artist’s hand alone creates;
Now, AI joins to open new floodgates.'Tis true, the brush and pen hold ancient grace,
Yet fear not, for they shall not be displaced.
Instead, this new ally doth expand,
The realm of art, and lends a helping hand.In sonnets sweet, the bard did once opine
Of love, of life, in meter and in line.
So too, this AI art doth find its place,
In the grand tapestry of human race.Fear not the change, embrace it with good cheer,
For art evolves, as it hath yesteryear.
AI art is but a novel stage,
In mankind’s long, unending, creative page.Thus, let us toast to this new art form’s birth,
A blend of tech and creativity’s mirth.
For in this union, we may yet perceive
New beauty, new wonders, we can conceive.I’m impressed at its rhyming skill, it takes skill for any intelligence to know how pronunciation in the English language works.
most of it is in perfect iambic, as well.
What its opinion on AI art is.
If it implies it supports AI art, interview it on why it does given it was made with humanity in mind.
If it implies it opposes AI art, interview it on why it does given ChatGPT is an AI.
It tends to both-sides issues like that. Here’s its initial response as an example:
AI-generated art is a fascinating and rapidly evolving field. It has the potential to democratize artistic expression, enabling those without traditional artistic skills to create visually compelling works. This technology can also serve as a tool for professional artists, offering new possibilities in digital art and design.
However, it also raises important ethical and creative questions. Issues like originality, copyright, and the impact on traditional artists’ livelihoods are significant concerns. The line between inspiration and appropriation can become blurred when AI systems are trained on existing artworks.
In essence, AI art represents both a remarkable technological achievement and a complex cultural phenomenon, with its benefits and challenges continually evolving as the technology advances.
I think since it “views” the technology as being best applied as assistance neither of your followups super apply. If you disagree OR agree I’m happy to ask it whatever followup you’d like me to.
In that case, it’s fine. I’m surprised nobody exploits it.
I use it for programming, brainstorming, and learning things, mostly. It’s like ultra Wikipedia + stack overflow that answers questions in real time.
The other day I was in a game store and I didn’t know what to get and researching everything would take forever so I took a picture of the rack and what games I like and asked what it thought I might enjoy. It was sweet. I haven’t played the game I decided on yet but all of my friends swear by it once I told them it. Dominion, if anyone is wondering.
dominion is a great game. I played it many times, and I definitely recommend it.
With the right prompt GPT4 can make a decent DM if you want to play a solo story of DnD. I tried this quite a while ago and it was pretty good, probably better now with the bigger context window.
It can also be useful for suggesting recipes based on what you have on hand or what you feel like eating.
I use it to help me DM. A lot of times I have a vague idea and it helps spit out specifics, I can take parts I like, and build the final idea off that. It is also okayish at making stat blocks for me on the fly when someone randomly decides they want to kill something I didn’t plan for (so like basically every session)
My favorite use was to create a Discord bot where you could say any card title for a made-up MtG Card, and it generates the card for you, using DALL-E for the card image.
For example, here’s one of my personal favorites using the input “Barney the Dinosaur”:
Since the bottom text is not in cursive, you and your opponent are actually required by the rules to love eachother and eat leaves.
Italic?
1/1 with trample 🤣
I have seen more useless cards than a 1/1 token with trample. Get a +1/+1 counter farm going and that’s pretty good.
Not sure if this is “cool”, but I thought it was impressive that, for a while, if asked a certain way, I could tell ChatGPT to remember certain things I told it, so that other people could retrieve from it what I told it if asked a certain way, and theoretically, it could work the other way as well, where I could ask what someone I knew might’ve told it, like a dispensing messenger. I also learned through trial by fire that the bots, tapping into the same power, have the free will to cut ties with certain people, if convinced to do so.
I use it to make alternative reality art.
Shit like that. Weird crossovers. Very specific memes that only apply to a single person just to fuck with em.
It’s pretty good at wry writing limericks and poems.
It’s great to use for troubleshooting Linux. It usually gives you the commands to paste into command line. It saves you from going to forums where people expect you to have advanced baseline knowledge already.
