About this episode
In this episode of No Plot, Only Lore, Josh and Kris dive deep into the "gray ooze" currently flooding the internet: Generative AI. What started as a potential tool for busy DMs has quickly spiraled into a self-fulfilling loop of mediocrity that threatens the very heart of collaborative storytelling.The guys pull no punches as they discuss:The "Enshittification" of RPGs: Why AI-generated content is mathematically designed to be average, and how it’s paving over the weird, human foibles that make TTRPGs great.AI Hallucinations: From making up database columns at work to "hallucinating" dead family members, the guys share their most bizarre (and slightly terrifying) AI encounters.The Dehumanization of Art: A passionate defense of "human-made" content—even if it's just a banana taped to a wall.Industry Fallout: From the Wizards of the Coast art controversies to the rise of AI-written lore videos and "35-minute novels," they examine how the tabletop community is fighting back against the machine.
