I don’t hate AI itself, but the amount of AI slop ruining the internet gives me a negative feeling about it whenever I see it. I used to enjoy fucking around with the early pre-2021 GANs, diffusion models and GPT3 playground before ChatGPT was around and actually liked the crazy dreamlike nonsense they made, but now it all feels like dead soulless crap getting used to replace humans. Probably going to get super downvoted for admitting to ever liking AI image gens lmao
It’s super useful as a tabletop GM.
It’s great for illustrations (like a character or shop interior or something) where I want to give players a gist of the vibe, but it’s not something significant enough to commission an actual artist.
It’s also great for generating story beats, NPCs, names, encounters. Generally I make a lot of changes, but I’m way better at modifying something that exists than coming up with something out of thin air, so it works well for me.
The important factor is that I use it purely for entertainment content. Confidently incorrect misinformation isn’t really a problem for strictly fictional applications.
The prevalence in non-fictional, non-entertainment applications is somewhat concerning.
