AI Dungeon Masters

• Play D&D with actual Komodo Dragons

Honestly if you could actually them to how to play, that sounds pretty cool

 Cooler than having AI in D&D

I hate GenAI in general, so absolutely no way would I ever use it for D&D.

I’d rather:

- Eat an entire bag of Sour Patch Kids doused in lemon juice in less than 2 minutes;

- Go swimming for an hour in a pool of D4s;

- Jump 100 feet into a pool of Costco Croissants;

- Write an entire Harry Potter fanfiction that centers on Crabbe;

- Or break 300 pairs of sunglasses and walk across hot tiles sprinkled with the shards.

I would never use it for dming maybe for generating a NPC name 

EDIT: I did it once at the table when I forgot to name the blacksmith

I feel it's worth pointing out, respectfully, that for decades there have been perfectly good tools for randomly generating NPC names that don't use LLMs and thus don't carry any of the baggage associated with them. I'm personally a fan of this one, which is very versatile and which D&D Beyond itself used to use in the character builder. You might consider using something like that next time instead.

 You don't need AI for this

You shouldn't use AI for this

If you think it's okay to use AI for this, you need to read the room

 Is this not what Xanathar’s is for?

There's plenty of non-AI NPC generators out there for free. Xanathar's is good but not needed.
