You can ignore me. But if you do want to take it seriously, here is a paper my team and I wrote about why AI playing D&D should be an AI grand challenge: arxiv.org/abs/2509.17192 https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.1719230 Apr 2026 13:30 +0000at://did:plc:3igkkqe5nkm66olc4y2syzpy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkppwr65ik2whttps://bsky.app/profile/markriedl.bsky.social/post/3mkppmxmkcc2wDesignating that most uses of the term "goblin" and "gremlin" are not legitimate while designating most uses of the word "frog" as legitimate is the imposition of a set of values on a technology.
