Dwarf Fortress creator says we have a natural lean towards human-made stories, 'but we're all going to be very sorely tested in the coming years' by AI
Lie, robot.
Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams asserts that humans possess an innate preference for stories crafted by other humans, but we will soon face significant challenges from AI-generated content. The game known for its procedural generation has been creating endless narratives without using artificial intelligence. However, Adams suggests that giving people the tools to create their own stories would be preferable to relying solely on finished products.
He explains that people find emergent stories in games endearing due to their connection to shared human experiences. Adams also posits that distinguishing between human creativity and robotic output is crucial for enjoying art. He believes that people are drawn to stories because they contain a "human spark" that machines cannot replicate, and that personal connection enhances the appreciation of art.
Adams argues that AI-generated content lacks the depth of human experiences and personal narratives, making it less appealing to him.
