[QUOTE="OptionalRule, post: 9520508, member: 6680"] Particularly in note taking and summarizing, I've found this very helpful. it's nto magic though and you still need to put in the work. I use the lazy DM Prep method and have a pretty good set of prep-notes. I have a player that takes a pretty good set of session notes. I drop them both in an LLM and ask it to create a session summary and I get a pretty good result. I have to refine but it works well. I would argue that nobody uses AI to automate creativity as they clearly didn't want to be creative in the first place, but that is splitting hairs. While I don't use it in that way, I don't think anyone owes me an explaination of what they do and why either. I think we're missing an opportunity to use LLMs to help our own creativity. Folks can agree or disagree with this all they like (and they will), but I find it really useful to have the LLM ask me questions about my game. As a proctor, it's not everything, but every little bit helps. The process of answering those questions has been helpful at times. Also. I find LLMs to be the ultimate 'Rubber Duck' GM too. Rubber Duck is a term from software engineering that, when you're stuck on a problem, you have a Rubber Duck nearby that you explain what you're trying to do in great detail. When you're done explaining, the answer often becomes obvious. LLMs are much the same way for me. By the time I've typed out my "I'm trying to do X to solve Y, ask me questions that would be helpful in resolving this." By the time I fully describe X and Y, I usually have my answer. The questions on top of it sometimes prompt me to develop an even better solution. When I streamed my session prep it was much the same thing. By the time I was done explaining what I was tryng to do and why it was important to the audience, I always had my answer. Again, peoiple can like or not like this but I'm putting it out there for anyone who finds it useful. This in addition to dropping my PDFs in something like Notebook LM and asking questions when I need to do a reference lookup.
