    TBH, I do this at my job too.

    I wouldn’t use it for actual work most of the time, but I’m happy to ask it questions about history and do follow-up research, or give it scenarios for my D&D campaign and ask for its suggestions.

      Our forever-DM is all-in on AI generation of stuff. Which I understand; it’s a role that requires a lot of thankless prep, and he wants all of the in-game maps and character artwork to look fancy. But on the other hand, I play D+D for the human interaction of it, and actually prefer the ‘theatre of the mind’ way of playing it. Dry-wipe pens on a whiteboard, there’s your adventure map. Now get roleplaying. If I wanted to play a computer game, then I’d play a computer game.

        Understandable. I never use it to ideate, personally, but might say ‘what trap would make this room better’ or something like that.

        My campaign is actually run via a computer game, though, so the flavor’s slightly different. (Neverwinter Nights)
