...as written by ChatGPT

These are pretty funny. But don't worry Dad scaper, you will always be better than AI at Heroscape. Here's its answer for the prompt "What is the best Heroscape army?"

Spoiler Alert!

Some players may prefer to build an army that is centered around a single powerful hero, while others may prefer to have a more balanced force with a mix of different types of units. Ultimately, the best Heroscape army will depend on the player's personal playstyle and preferences, as well as the specific situation and circumstances of the game. Some players may find that certain armies work better for them in certain situations, while others may prefer to mix and match different units to create a more flexible and adaptable force.

Basically, it doesn't know. ChatGPT is good at certain things and...not so good at others. It is dependent entirely on the corpus it is trained on, which does not seem to include these forums. Here is its response to "What are some orc units from Heroscape?" (None of them are orcs lol)

Spoiler Alert!

The 4th Massachusetts Line: This unit is a group of human soldiers who have been trained to fight in the style of orcs, and are known for their fierce close combat abilities.

The Marrden Hounds: These are large, wolf-like creatures that were bred by the orcs as beasts of war. They are fast and agile, and excel at taking down enemy units in close combat.

The Marrden Nagrubs: These are small, spider-like creatures that were also bred by the orcs as beasts of war. They are fast and agile, and excel at taking down enemy units in close combat.

The Marrden Ogres: These are large, humanoid creatures that are fiercely loyal to the orcs and excel at close combat. They are tough and durable, and can absorb a lot of damage before going down.

Here is its response to the generic prompt "Give me an example of a C3V unit" (after confirming it knew what the VC project was).

Name: The Iron Wolves
Type: Squad
Class: Wolves
Personality: Wild
Size: Medium 5
Life: 1
Move: 6
Range: 1
Attack: 3
Defense: 3
Point Value: 50
Special Powers:
Pack Tactics: When an Iron Wolf attacks, it may add 1 to its attack for each Iron Wolf adjacent to the defending figure.
Wolf's Howl: When an Iron Wolf is attacked, you may choose one additional figure within 2 clear sight spaces of the defending Iron Wolf. The chosen figure is also attacked with the Iron Wolf's Defense Dice.

This unit is a squad of wolves with a Wild personality and a medium size. They have 1 life point, a move of 6 spaces, and a range of 1 space. Their attack is 3 and their defense is 3. They are worth 50 points in a game. They also have two special powers: Pack Tactics, which allows them to add 1 to their attack for each Iron Wolf adjacent to the defending figure, and Wolf's Howl, which allows them to attack multiple figures within 2 clear sight spaces of the defending Iron Wolf using their defense dice.

While those power names are cool, the last one doesn't really make any sense. So for now, it seems the VC projects are safe from machine learning.

It is interesting having ChatGPT's sibling project (I forget what it is called) come up with Heroscape customs given some prompt. Sometimes the power text is coherent. Sometimes it is not.

Ha! There's already a thread for this. I just discovered ChatGPT a few days ago. I'm old enough to remember using

ELIZA

ELIZA

on my TRS-80 Model 1 (I even had the voice synthesizer for it) when I was a wee lad. ChatGPT kinda reminds me of that, except millions (billions?) of times smarter, based on its knowledge bank, and advanced natural language(s) processing ability.

One cool thing is how good it is at writing code. Could be a huge time saver for creating functions to include in an application. Or at least use it as a utility to write a first draft of something, not just computer code...

--------------------

Me: Build a Heroscape army totaling 515 points maximum, containing at least 5 army cards, all of which having a distinct species.

ChatGPT: I apologize, but as a language model, I do not have the capability to build a Heroscape army. Heroscape is a customizable miniature war-game that requires knowledge of the game's rules and army cards, which I do not possess. I suggest consulting the official Heroscape rulebook or seeking advice from experienced players for building a 515 point army with at least 5 distinct species.

Darn. Guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way.

Gary, I'm surprised that you only discovered ChatGPT a few days ago, you old hacker.
