Andrew Clayton, the man behind @foundryvtt.bsky.social, had some choice words for the use of AI in the TTRPG space.

I love seeing stuff like this. Strong, unequivocal stances that include the nuance this topic deserves. The "and I don't foresee this happening" part is so good.

Especially from someone in the tech side of TTRPGs. I find that a lot of the tech community is very pro-AI (some are also anti, but most companies I talk to are pretty into it.) and so seeing what I think is one of the more prominent VTTs express this statement is good.

You said something that tickled my brain: "most of the *companies* I talk to are pretty into it."

I wonder how many tech *people* are actually into it. I used to be in tech and the idea of debugging AI gen'ed code makes my soul hurt.

And I've seen plenty of tech folks on bsky talk about how they vehemently oppose genAI's addition to their pipelines. Gross, tough-to-catch bugs being introduced by conjured code is a nightmare scenario for any production scale software.

Iirc, Stack Overflow quickly banned genAI solutions from being posted.

So I wonder how much of the enthusiasm only exists at the c-suite level? Would love to see this whole AI trend die out sooner than later

as some folks at the @rascalnews.bsky.social Discord noted, the Foundry community is REALLY anti-AI when it comes to mods; an approach that I imagine is very contrary to the other parts of the coding/programming community (the software is HEAVILY reliant on fan-made mods)
