We do have some professional uses of AI, and I have personally been involved in for around ten years now, but these are hyperfocused cases of pattern matching. Meanwhile, I've been working with it in cases some of our users want to use it. It being MS Copilot, because that's what our company gives us.Unfortunately, there is something to "prompt engineering" that will get you better results. First, you have to tell it who what voice you are speaking as "Writing as a grognard dungeon master running 5E D&D..." and then you want to give it as many details as possible, such as describing the setting it is in, what details you want such as name, background, dark secrets, etc. In general, the more details you give it, the better your result will be. I'm prepping for a large sandbox campaign, so I've been trying to coax encounters and dungeons and their challenges out of it. Like I said, it will get better, but still won't be good for much more than brainstorming ideas. You can tell it the version you are running, and it will spit out some things that might make you think it actually understands, but it doesn't and will hallucinate game specifics. It has told me "Use Monster A (substitue Monster B)" which is a thing I have seen in 5E adventures. However the monster it will tell you to substitute will not exist in any Monster Manual or other online resource either. I've had it tell me to apply templates. It's even asked if I want a stat block for monster, and when I said yes, it gave me something unusable for even the most rules light OSR game. I also don't see how you got three pages out of it. I have to specifically tell it how many sentences I want to get anything large than one.For more technical things, it certainly can't do coding of anything obscure or hard. I asked about a problem I was having and it ignored my request for code and gave me some cut and past text from two of the three websites I was able to find talking about the problem. So far, I have to have it kick back even a one line bash script that will actually run. It will make up named variables that don't exist and other such junk.</blockquote>
