AI does a good job of generating character portraits for my TTRPG games. But, really, beyond that I haven't found a good use for it.
So far that's been the best use of AI for me too. I've also used it to help flesh out character backgrounds, and then I just go through and edit it.
Yeah exactly, as a tool that doesn't need to be perfect to give you a starting point it's excellent. But companies sort of forgot the "as a tool" part and are just implementing ai outright in places it's not ready yet like drive-thru windows or voice only interface devices...it's not ready for that shit currently (if it ever truly will be).
They are all completely half-baked products being rolled out before they're ready because none of these billion dollar tech companies will allow a product to not immediately generate revenue.
I'm really enjoying seeing the backlash of everyone unanimously being sick of having this unfinished tech shoved down our throats.
