AI GMs

[The Firebird]

I find it helps my creativity when worldbuilding or designing encounters. Often I'm trying to relate things to real history, so "give me examples of how a historically inspired merchant guild would work in this setting" will help curate a list of historic examples. Then I'll riff off that, usually ending with something rather different, but where the LLM was useful in the process.

Me using the name of character I saw on TV is not creating either.

Was Tolkien not being creative when he used names from Norse mythology?
