[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 9513779, member: 2303"] I am in a group with 2 artists. Guess who are working with AI? One of them. Doing both text and images. A relevant point is that he suffered a stroke a few years back, so drawing has become harder. We see Ai as a tool. Like any tool, it takes skill to use. Yes, it is fast and has a high degree of polish, but garbage in, garbage out still applies. I also use it for simple NPC portraits and some location images, but these are hasty improvisations with no sale value. I could not afford either the money or time to commission those. But my main use of AI is as a dictionary and lexicon, it is a lot easier/faster to ask ChatGPT about details of Ancient Egyptian religion than it is to look it up in other ways. I'm not simulating Ancient Egypt, I am using a rough shadow of history to create a fantasy setting, and for that ChatGPT suffices. I also use it to come up with names, along the lines of "Give me 20 words that alliterate with Energy and allude to ranged attacks" for naming various energy blasts. I have used it as a conversation partner in adventure design, but I find I work things over until little of the AIs work remains. I also use it to change the CR of critters. ChatGPT is pretty good at making something like a CR 12 giant toad. [/QUOTE]
