ChatGPT: I will get back to you…
Since OpenAI introduced Bing Search as a beta feature in GPT-4, a thing I’ve noticed recently is ChatGPT saying things like “I will get back to you with that information.” Excuse me, what? If you’ve used ChatGPT and understand a bit about how it works, you would understand the problem here. There is no context…

Revisiting the Lovecraft test
One of the first tests I did of AI’s (or, more accurately LLM’s) ability to creatively storytell was by prompting it to write a story in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.

Further lazy DM adventures with ChatGPT
I was planning to run a wintry one-shot Dungeons & Dragons adventure this week. I had a basic concept: we’re in Exandria, so we’ll theme it around Winter’s Crest, the winter festival celebrated in Tal’Dorei. There would be games and shops for fun little mini-games.

Getting something actually useful out of DALL-E and ChatGPT
A lot of folks have been chatting about ChatGPT (that’ll be the last dad joke, I swear…), the latest experiment out of openai.com — home of the DALL-E image generation AI. I’ve been generally pretty impressed with what I can get from DALL-E — enough to purchase some credits to help generate art for my…

Fog of Love: A board game review for V-day
My partner and I picked up a “romantic comedy as a board game” and ran our first playthrough. Here are my initial thoughts.
