I wrote earlier [https://aiweirdness.com/post/187645450357/dungeon-crawling-or-lucid-dreaming] about a neural net-powered dungeon crawling text adventure game called GPT-2-Adventure [https://quicktotheratcave.tumblr.com/post/187432425523/shall-we-play-a-game-a-gpt-2-text-adventure] in which gameplay is incoherent and dreamlike,

I’ve done several experiments with a text-generating neural network called GPT-2. Trained at great expense by OpenAI (to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars worth of computing power), GPT-2 learned to imitate all kinds of text from the internet. I’ve interacted with the

I like training neural networks to generate Dungeons and Dragons stuff because, well, the results are really really weird. To date I’ve generated spells [http://aiweirdness.com/post/165373096197/a-neural-network-learns-to-create-better-dd] , creatures [http://aiweirdness.com/post/172170729017/dungeons-and-dragons-creatures-generated-by]

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about GPT-2 [http://aiweirdness.com/post/182824715257/gpt-2-it-learned-on-the-internet], a text-generating algorithm whose huge size and long-term analysis abilities mean that it can generate text with an impressive degree of coherence. So impressive, in fact,

Thanks to the wonderful readers of this blog, I’ve been able to apply machine learning to Dungeons and Dragons data of all sorts. I trained a neural network to generate new D&D spells, first on a small dataset [http://aiweirdness.com/post/159363915392/new-dd-magic-spells-

There are algorithms called artificial neural networks that can learn to imitate examples of just about anything. They’re used in all sorts of everyday programs, translating languages, identifying photos, colorizing drawings, delivering ads, and tons more. It turns out neural networks may also be a dungeon master’s best

The game Dungeons and Dragons has all sorts of lists of spells and abilities you can use for gameplay. I trained an algorithm called a recurrent neural network [https://github.com/karpathy/char-rnn] to generate more spells - like Barking Sphere, Hold Mouse, and Gland Growth [http://aiweirdness.com/post/

A neural network learns to create better D&D spells

Neural networks are a type of machine learning program that learns from examples they’re given, rather than relying on a human programmer to invent rules. In an earlier experiment [http://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/159363915392/new-dd-magic-spells-designed-by-neural-network] , I trained a neural network to
