I mostly dislike AI, but I try to be reasonable. Let's get started.This is nothing more than an automated transcript of what was said. It isn't "creating" anything. It is simply transcribing. This is supportable.They are a company. Their moral compass is "what will make our shareholders and CEO more money." A spellchecker is a form of AI. Bingo.I have tried to use AI for D&D stuff. I even explored the tool to see if it could make my life any better. It's utter freaking garbage at anything other than "give me a name." It's useful for names/words/areas/whatever, but not much more.Oddly enough, the one issue I have with AI (that it creates total fabrications that look convincing) is that said hallucinations are useful, maybe, for gaming.For example, I just cracked open an engine and wrote:"Create a low-level NPC that the party might meet, one who has no connections to any established lore or plot, but is merely interesting."I got three pages of mostly unusable crap. What it tried to create was the generic "filthy pre-pubescent male British street urchin who provides comic relief" stereotype. With an attack pigeon and a missing spoon stolen by a cat ("Would you like to craft an adventure for that?" I coulda cracked that off the top of my head in six tenths of a second. Except the stolen spoon. (I don't do those kinds of pharmeceuticals.)EVERY time I try AI for creative purposes, it turns out utter *****. Like serious, utter unuseable crap. It's useless except for "Give me 200 names, first and last, drawing from cultures that are equal to British, Welsh, Norse and Greek. Some Greek/Welsh Greek/British combinations are acceptable."One of the big-name YouTube influencers admitted that he used AI tools. Stopped watching. Garbage, almost all of it.Hell, Chat GPT can't even count to 200.</blockquote>
