D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

Perhaps someone with a lot more skill and confidence (and a paid subscription to an A.I. program) can generate more useful information?

I consider myself a skilled user and have a subscription so I decided to take you up on this. Rather than asking for an answer (poor practice) I asked it to look for reasonable sources. (Also good-- "tell me about the pros and cons" or "discuss some relevant factors").

It ended up giving the same response folks here did--there are no good data. It suggested a few options to look into (AL logs, for example) while discussing their limitations.

And it found a source I wasn't aware of, "FIREBALL", a dataset of text history from games that used the Avrae bot. It proposed looking through that for death instances and compiling them. I didn't go through the FIREBALL data at all to see if it includes enough information. It's an interesting idea.

Definitely take judgement answers that require balancing factual evidence and reaching a decision with a pinch of salt.

Yep, agreed. I said as much in the conclusion of my original post.
