I asked ChatGPT to create a new M:TG set
Sitting around, I had a “brilliant” idea… What if we were to use Generative AI to make an entirely new “Release” for Magic the Gathering? As it turns out, like most ideas it was hardly new, and a little digging around led me to the comically bad RoboRosewater.
And even some brave souls hilariously drafting the poorly generated cards:
The cards are totally unrelated to eachother, have totally baffling rulesets, and in general are a fun chaotic mess to watch people draft. This did get me thinking however, AI has come a long way since Rosewater, why not use ChatGPT to thoughtfully generate M:TG… let’s call it G:PT. And so I started out with the goal of providing as little curation or inspiration to ChatGPT, and it understood the assignment.
