AI is not synonomous with 'high quality work replicating that of a deceased author', its synonomous with 'cheap trash that no one wanted to waste time or so they threw it at a machine, packed up the result, and are expecting you to pay money for the creative equivilent of a burning pile of poop outside your front door'. You're depriving the chance for people to actually try and make something that can live up to a legacy to instead just, shove a bunch of 1E books in a blender and drink the resulting pulp smoothie, telling us its good at the end and not a bunch of soggy, mashed-up paperA machine that can't even remember back more than a single room (I've seen the AI story writing stuff being used, let's not pretend this isn't a massive fault) isn't going to give you a Gygax-esque Castle Greyhawk. Its going to give you the most tepid, generic and boring dungeon, with massive inconsistencies throughout because a mindless machine without the ability to think or consider on things like "pathways to get around" is slapping together things it has been programmed to vaguely think as dungeons. You'd end up with something that makes the Forest Oracle look like high art and downright consistent in the flow of its various encounters. You don't even have to take my word on it, you can grab any of the learning models out there right now and try to generate this very thing yourself.If you want quality work that's worth paying money for and hits what folks wanted from Castle Greyhawk, you hire an author. If you're not hiring an author, then you're producing a sub-par product in the name of saving money and ripping people off, because that's what AI is used for and what its great at</blockquote>
