@pagan8th – that’s a pretty harsh take! I can’t bring myself to concur. I’ve used AI to create scenarios for (tabletop) RPG games *a lot*. I love cyberpunk type scenarios but wouldn’t come up with any of the ideas I’ve had generated for me (or that I’ve read in my many DriveThru RPG downloads tbh). Our imagination is fed only by the stuff we read/see. Very few people can dream up truly unique ideas for games – they’re almost always based on something we’ve seen/read before. I haven’t time to invest in reading too many books and watching loads of movies.

I know what I like, so giving a prompt and asking “give me some ideas in this vein” is a great way to start a game and set the scene. I think you’re being too harsh here!
