AI-crafted narratives: an empirical study on generating interactive stories using generative pre-training transformers
摘要
Interactive storytelling, which has long captivated audiences, is embracing evolution. Dungeons & Dragons, a timeless example of open-ended interactive storytelling, has entered the digital realm, with platforms such as AI Dungeon employing large-language models to enhance the experience. Amid the growing utilization of Chat-GPT and concerns regarding AI’s potential to replace jobs, this empirical study examines the capability of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to autonomously generate an engaging interactive narrative, alongside the necessary Twine code for compiling the story. To assess the quality of the generated story, user perceptions of its authorship, and its future, an accompanying survey was conducted. The result shows that even though some concerns arise regarding authorship, AI is promising in the field of generating interactive stories.
