Cardistry

Cardistry is a software engine I programmed in Unity that uses OpenAI’s language models to convert short, personal anecdotes into playing cards. Type a story into a text box, and watch as a title, art, suits, and a descriptive poem are generated to capture that story in a playful manner. My lab tested it at GDC 2023 and FDG 2024, and it was well received by the developer/researcher crowd, but ultimately, I decided not to pursue this project further because I was uncomfortable with using AI in this manner.
