Okay, so, first of all, I have to state that i have way, way, WAY more hours with AI Dungeon than what it shows here. I've been using it for quite a long while now, with a full premium account. So... yeah. Very familiar with it.

Also, disclaimer: I'm not used to writing the specific type of review that I'm going to do with this one. So my explanations and such may be a bit wonky, as I already have inherent communication issues on top of that fact, but I hope I'll get the general message across.

So, let's talk about what this is, what this isnt, and what the situation is. As best I understand it, anyway... the details are murky, and we'll get to that.

AI Dungeon, in theory, works as a text adventure game with infinite potential. Which sounds great and all, but... it has issues. See, awhile back, AI Dungeon was using Open AI's powerful GPT-3 model... I've heard this referred to as the "golden age" of AID. And yes... it was amazing. Just amazing. Well, if you were using Dragon anyway, the most powerful of the available AI models. However, at a certain point Dragon was very heavily nerfed, its intelligence lowered by quite a bit.

While I've heard a lot of people complain specifically about Latitude when this nerf happened, I can tell you right now, a good chunk of what occurred was actually OpenAI's doing. One of the big triggers for that event was The Filter, designed to, well, filter stuff. Inappropriate/problematic content or whatever.

And that filter... let me tell you, it's *bad*. Oh I dont mean just the AID version that we saw for awhile. I mean OpenAI's version, what THEY wanted on it, as it was their rules that forced it... not just Latitude. I've since had a chance to spend some quality time with OpenAI's primary GPT-3 model, known as DaVinci. The BIG one, on their own site. And that filter is present. That filter is also UTTERLY PARANOID. You know how Youtube is completely obsessed with being *ahem* "advertiser friendly" to the point where they'll demonetize videos for utterly silly reasons? Oh yeah. It's THAT level of paranoid. No... it's worse. Much worse. As an example, I was using this prompt that generates the popular format of "two sentence horror stories". Super fun with DaVinci. But the very instant the AI put out something that even had the TINIEST amount of blood in it, the filter would go bonkers and spit out a pile of warnings. Just think about that for a second. There's NO WAY that would work in a game like AID. But OpenAI decrees that it MUST be used when their AI is involved. So... yeah. No more GPT-3. Also the cost of using it was really bloody high, so that added to the need to split off from it.

Why am I telling you this? Because I want to make it clear as to what is happening with this and why, as it's one of the things most frequently brought up when talking about AID. There is more to that story, too... Latitude is the OTHER half of the equation after all, and one of their biggest problems is a lack of communication. Which is very frustrating. Like, come on, guys... freaking TALK TO US. But they usually dont. Why devs do that sometimes, I'll never understand. Particularly with games that primarily use online functions. That aint Latitudes only problem, though, but... I dont have room to go into that here. Again, it's murky and confusing. Just know, they aint the best group. Which is a problem for an online product.

With the big nerf, that meant quality did drop quite a bit, but... not as much as you may have heard. However, that may not be quite clear when going into THIS product, as the Steam release seems to be confusing in terms of just what you get.

To be clear: This release grants you unlimited access to Griffin. NOT Dragon. Dragon is the smart one (mostly). Griffin is an unhinged maniac. Dont get me wrong: That doesnt mean Griffin cant be fun. Sometimes "unhinged maniac" could be just what you're in the mood for. Loopy AI is hilarious, after all. But what you REALLY want is Dragon. And Dragon doesnt come with this. You want that, you need an actual subscription, which is the most important thing to know here.

As for how Dragon performs now? It is... erratic. Sometimes, it works out just lovely. Not as good as it used to be, but still... pretty good, IF used correctly. You do need to understand how to use the tools offered, such as the memory function, and you need to not type like an idiot. Put stupid in, and you'll get stupid back. However, the AI seems to have its good days and its bad days. On a bad day, Dragon will get pretty screwy and require many retries and such. But on a good day, everything will flow just fine and your adventure will be great fun. Hopefully, it'll improve further as time goes on.

Also: Image generation. This part is odd to me. Stable Diffusion is LOVELY. Seriously, the potential things it can produce are amazing! However, you need to use "credits" to pay for each image (very tiny amount, but it adds up), and that's a bit unclear. But also, Stable Diffusion technically DOES NOT require a server to handle it. If you have a bloody strong Nvidia card with a lot of VRAM, it can be run off of your own machine. I've done this, and it's great. AI Dungeon however does not currently offer that option. Which is a little weird. And using SI isnt easy: You have to work with it a bit, learn how to phrase things and what bits to add to your image prompt, in order to give it what it needs to know to make you something great. It doesnt really give any explanation of this or tips at all... you'll have to look elsewhere for that. Having used AI image gen of various sorts a lot myself, I went into it already knowing what to do, but... if you dont, your images are going to be really wonky until you get the hang of it. So, keep that in mind. Once you do learn it though... yeah. It's great. I just wish they at least had the option to run SI off of your GPU instead of their server.

My biggest question with this release though is... why? Why is this on Steam? It's a browser based service that already works just fine there, and it's not like you get full Dragon access for buying on here. I rather suspect that the real reason was simply to bring it to a potentially wider audience... but that's just a guess. Still, it's strange. If you intend on diving in with Dragon, dont bother with the Steam release: Head on over to the proper AI Dungeon site and go from there. The UI is all the same.

Now, there's more I could talk about here, like the various functions offered (such as scenarios and adventures and world info and all that fun stuff) but... again, Steam character limit.

I hope though that I've given somewhat of an idea as to what this is, what it's like, and what's been happening with it. I hope. I personally quite like it (when it isnt having one of its off-days), but it isnt for everyone, particularly with Dragon requiring more beyond just the Steam purchase. So, just keep everything here in mind when deciding what to do here.

Looking forward for my death sentence when all of "that" gets leaked.

a brief summer of my fantasy adventure

> You plan for the future.
You plan for the future.
You are going to go back to the way life was before.
You are going to get your old job back at the bank.
> You go to the bank.
You walk through the bank's front doors.
The same people are at their desks.
They look at you and give you a once over.
"Hey, Jacob."
"Hello, Mr. Harris."
> You "can I have my old job back?"
"Sorry, Jacob, but we can't afford to give employees their old jobs back."
"Why not?"
"We're downsizing. The economy is in the crapper. We're cutting costs."
> You "but you really need the work, what do you want you to do?
"I can sweep the floors and mop the hallways."
"No, we have a new janitorial service that does a much better job. We're outsourcing that to the Philippines."
> You "♥♥♥♥ you"
You walk out of the bank.
This time, you walk out of the bank with your head held high.
> You look for work.
You wander the streets of the city.
You search for a job.
You can't find a job.
♥♥♥♥ this city.
♥♥♥♥ these people.
> You look elsewhere.
You pack your belongings and leave the city.
You leave the city and go to another one.
And another.
Until you run out of cities to visit.
> You lose hope.
You live in a ramshackle house in the middle of the woods.
No one can find you here.
You drink yourself to death.
The end.
