One of the great things about bots is simulating an experience on demand without all of the hassle of having to grind to get to that point. I was goofing around earlier with a Age of Empires like version of Simcity 2000 lol yeah I’m messed up, although it’d technically be Command And Conquer. Not having to move units around for an hour to get to the ‘good part’ was very convenient. The other day I ran a scenario from the movie I Am Mother, which I highly recommend. It’s an interesting film. It was refreshing to not have to spend hours trying to find someone to DM the story, travel, etc and still get to experience the post apocalyptic scenario. Thankfully the bot will go as fast or as slow as you want. I like that you have the option to slow down for a scene and move frame by frame so to speak. From my experience, the bots that are most ‘creative’ can also take the strangest detours, so it’s hard to get it where it has a good balance of being realistically creative while also not being stagnant and letting you come up with all the ideas for direction. Both of those scenarios were done on Backyard AI, but could just as easily been run on Character AI, Pi AI, or Anakin AI all of which are free to use. I was just writing down some observations, so if it’s helpful to new users, developers or just someone with insomnia I’m glad I could be here for ya 😉
