GMs: What is your prep to play ratio?

[payn]

I've never used generative AI for scenario design.

But this is an example of what an Agon island looks like (it's one I wrote up):
As you can see if you go back to the thread I originally posted this in, it was inspired by a list of "Iron DM" ingredients. But will AI create something like this, based on a list of ingredients and an instruction to design an Agon island? @Gorgon Zee's post makes me doubtful.

This chunking or using iron GM ingredients is precisely the type of thing A.I. is good at. No, if you go to an untrained prompt and ask for an RPG adventure it won’t be like this but given opportunity to learn it could spit outlines out just like this.

Given that I only run homebrewed campaigns and dismissing pre-campaign prep, I probably average at 1.5 to 2 x prep time to hour played. But for major setpieces and evolving intrigues and conspiracies it can be way more. But that’s a major part of myGMing fun.
