Revisiting AI as a GM Support Tool

[Stalker0]

I use AI in three ways.

1. As a suggestions box. "Give me ten random encounters in situation X"
2. As a secretary "Rewrite this text in the voice of X" or "Rewrite this at a lower reading level"
3. As an image generator. This is fun, but the results are bad. It takes hundreds of generated images to illustrate something specific.

Have you tried copilot? Honestly I've been very impressed by the art quality just with very basic prompts. Now if your going for a very specific look than yeah that takes a lot of work. But if you just want a cool npc portrait that puts an image in the PC minds, it is excellent for that.

It depends on what you want it to make and how picky you are.

My problem is that I have a tendency to imagine this all in my head, and I want the image creator to be able to take my visual description and make something that looks vaguely like what I imagined.

It's pretty lousy at that. Face portraits are probably the thing is best at because of all the training data, but for example I can't get it to draw a decent looking fantasy planet despite all the pictures of the solar system.

that's a fair point, it is much better at portraits than it is landscapes

One thing i am hoping to do is record my game sessions and then have AI summarize the session, list characters I make on the fly, list story beats, and the like.

GMAssistant.ai does exactly this
