Sovem

I will speak to my experiences with it.

I love solo roleplaying; I've been doing it for years. I was super excited with the advent of Dungeon AI, ChatGPT, NovelAI, and others. I have tried them all extensively. What I have found is that they are great sounding boards for generating ideas, descriptions, and even, sometimes, dialog.

However, AI is not quite ready to replace a DM. I've found that the stories it produces are very flat and repetitive. What's more, they become very predictable once you realize that they act a bit like lucid dreams--it's very easy to influence the story, even accidentally, by what you say.

Used in conjunction with a solo oracle, like Mythic GME, it can be a great asset.

Same! I keep searching for a new solo instance, magazine, whatever. I'd start one, myself, but I can still barely figure out how to use this stuff.

I'm primarily wanting a place where I can read information for both niche and general topics, as well as read the dissent to that information in the same space.

Man, you nailed it, here. The thing I valued most about reddit as an information aggregate was the ability to go into the comments and expect that I could hear some different viewpoints, maybe get some additional information about the original article, etc.

Case in point: digg still exists.
