Gonna copy pasta one of my previous comments because it’s relevant again:
I’m going to argue that how you use the lying machine determines if it’s slop, not if you use it.
“Generate a character profile for Alexander the blacksmith.” Slop.
“Ask me questions about Alexander the blacksmith so I can further develop his character.” Not slop.
“Summarize everything I explained about Alexander the blacksmith in the format of a wiki article.” Could be slop, might not be, depends on how diligent you were about not letting the lying machine have creative control. Needs to be reviewed for accuracy of course.
And for the record, I was a DM for years before generative ai was a thing. Running a campaign is ton of work, even with shortcuts. Don’t insult your DM like this.
Can we take a moment to acknowledge that we’re debating which uses for the natural-gas-powered, impoverished-community-polluting, job-destroying, data-mining, genocide-funding nightmare machine are acceptable and our sole criterion is the degree to which we allow it to replace our creativity?

And that the threshold is not zero?
You will not survive the winter.
Slop is slop no matter how you use it.
If I lose access to my slop machine, I’ll get over it the same way I got over netflix. I’ll be fine.
The kinds of people you’re assuming I am though, they’re fucked.
Which is ironic of Lemmy to agree with OP because it is also here in Lemmy, where i learned about making the correct prompt to get the best out of AI!
