I'm unsure we particularly want to be jumpiong to their defenceRoleplaying is improv with dice. I'm gonna tell you the secret: you don't have to spend all that much time preparing adventures, you can just do a basic outline of them, prepare some set-pieces if they're needed, and let the players drive things around. There's plenty spontaneous about being a DM and that's where half the fun is, seeing how far off the rails your players have thrown thingsWhat are they using AI for? Like, as far as I can see, AI has impacted exactly three markets1: Making pictures, which universally give off cheap and lazy vibes because that's the reputation of AI artwork: Cheap and lazy. Like, I think people are more receptive of Poser artwork than they are of AI artwork, and if you've been around you know how 'well' Poser artwork tended to be perceived. Weren't there a few RPGs who did the whole Poser art thing?2: Writing stuff false information, which has resulted in lawsuits from people shoveling fake plant and mushroom identification books on Amazon and folks getting poisoned by mushrooms, telling people to glue cheese to pizza, two instances of lawyers trying to use AI to write cases for them (which ended Poorly for everyone involved) or multiple cases in the World of Warcraft server I'm in where people have been banned for it due to AI being stupid and not the Oracle of Delphi, able to solve the ongoing Felcycle puzzle3: Written pornography, where you have to learn how to trick the AI model into giving you the smut you want and is entertaining for how much they have to break the modelI do not use AI for my home game because if I need a monster icon or something, I either have a stupid large folder of them or I can just grab an old video game sprite, edit it by myself, and throw it on the table and at least get the oldschool jrpg appreciation</blockquote>
