Today on Little Wars TV Tom asks ChatGPT to write a Napoleonic skirmish scenario for the rules Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles. In this video he shares the prompts he used, the revisions he requested, and the results of an AI-produced scenario. What does ChatGPT do well and where does it fall short? To find out, we put the scenario to the test and play it in the club! Was it fun? Did it work? And can the French supply convoy break through a guerilla ambush in Spain, 1809?
Generative AI is a hot topic in many industries and hobbies right now, including our own. When is it ok to use AI-generated art? Is it ok for private use but not commercial use in rule books? What about all those animated miniature videos popping up on social media? Did you know that the latest AI programs can sculpt and produce STL files from image inputs? There are all sorts of questions and quandaries for hobbyists to ponder as we enter the new age. Maybe a few of the guys here should sit down, pour some Scotch, and chat about it. Let us know in the comments.
In the meantime, there are productive ways you can personally explore free AI tools with your friends. Brainstorming to develop scenarios at home is a great example we'll explore right now. But yes, as you will see in the video, there are some clear limitations to relying on AI for your scenario designs.
Today's wargame features 18mm AB figures from Eureka USA and rules by Wiley Games, "Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles." The miniatures are outstanding and the rules are quite fun. AB, Eureka, and Wiley Games are not sponsors of the channel, we receive no commissions from them, and we paid full price for our toys. Just saying. Because these days, when you watch stuff online, you can never be sure.
