Abstract
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.
期刊介绍：
With a focus on research in artificial intelligence and neural networks, this journal addresses issues involving solutions of real-life manufacturing, defense, management, government and industrial problems which are too complex to be solved through conventional approaches and require the simulation of intelligent thought processes, heuristics, applications of knowledge, and distributed and parallel processing. The integration of these multiple approaches in solving complex problems is of particular importance.
The journal presents new and original research and technological developments, addressing real and complex issues applicable to difficult problems. It provides a medium for exchanging scientific research and technological achievements accomplished by the international community.
