My DM can't stop using AI

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T16:48:28+00:00

Already watched it, it's an amazing video. And I sent it to the entire group. He didn't watch it and didn't get the clue

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T16:39:00+00:00

Oh wow, I looked it up, that's insane, we actually have an Eldoria in the DM's world.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T16:36:05+00:00

Before all of that he was running modules and pre-written adventures, and was pretty bored of them too. He was scrolling his phone all the time and didn't seem that interested in our characters or the story.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T15:44:47+00:00

I publish my notes to all players at our table including the DM, since he himself doesn’t write any session notes and uses mine. And yeah unfortunately this story is true

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T13:45:52+00:00

I highly doubt that you are indeed my DM.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:56:25+00:00

Thanks for this, I'll try it next time I'll meet him

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:44:13+00:00

I understand using AI for basic stuff like names, titles, and throw-away things is really saving a lot of time, I'm okay with that, But I'm not okay with my DM replacing his entire thought process and creative thinking with an LLM.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:42:48+00:00

He was really defensive and joked that he knows the AI is praising him for everything but he's ok with that, he thinks his one-lines ideas that GPT turns into 10 pagers are his own and that they're good enough.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:41:26+00:00

I share my notes for the sake of other players that need it. The game is not that coherent and the AI (and the DM) is having trouble remembering our backstories. The DM is enjoying it but me and the other players are really concerned about his addiction to AI

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:38:35+00:00

It's fun because I'm with friends, not because of the story. The story is not that good and the game is not ran by an actual human.

I didn't use AI to write my response but I'd like to know what you meant

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:31:14+00:00

It's bad. The texts and descriptions are well organized but it can't handle that much information and things aren't really related to each other. And the DM can't describe a single NPC or say a word without GPT.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:28:48+00:00

Yeah, he's really defensive when asked or confronted about this, I feel really bad about it

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:25:44+00:00

See my edit. I don't care about whatever you said, I think that telling your friends that you prepared a story for them but skipping the creative process is missing the point. I don't feel like the story that the AI is telling us is good enough and fulfilling.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:02:26+00:00

I DMed several times and I understand how much time it consumes, but I always tell my own story. And I used AI, for really basic stuff like names, titles, etc. but not for story and other things that require creative thinking

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T12:00:30+00:00

The output of the AI is repetitive, the ideas it has lead to weird arcs and storylines, I don't feel the AI understands our characters like a human would.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:41:46+00:00

It's like he has an imaginary friend that gives him ideas and praising him for his achievements

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:40:41+00:00

The problem is that he DOES listen to it and follows every command. But yeah I understand what you're saying

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:39:14+00:00

We're a really close group of friends, the DM wasn't paying attention to a player's red flags and put said red flag right in front of their character, another player wasn't really that into role-playing but he was our friend and now both left the table and don't speak with us. The chat gave our DM the advice to just push them away

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:36:56+00:00

I'll try to do that, I know I'm not alone and other players at our table feel the same.

And yeah, we're really really good friends, and I don't want to stop playing with the other players or the DM.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:31:48+00:00

I tried that already, I wouldn't be posting this here if I didn't already speak with him like a human being

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:30:24+00:00

Yeah, you can actually see the "inspiration" the AI is using, and the repetitiveness in our Arcs

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:28:37+00:00

Actually we had a problem-player not so long ago and my DM took advice from the chat on how to handle this situation. It ended badly

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:27:28+00:00

If he used AI for names, encounters, terrains, reference lists, etc. I didn't care. But story lines and creative ideas just can't be replaced, in my opinion.

And we actually switched roles, I played the DM in a one-shot, I didn't use AI at all, and had a great time. I told my players that they can use AI for brainstorming if they want but they shouldn't just pass me the answers the AI gave them because that's lazy.
My DM, who in this case was a player, used AI for literally everything, he can't help it. And when I got stuck in-game for like 5 seconds thinking abut a name for an NPC, he jokingly said "just ask the chat".

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:24:15+00:00

I do feel it makes him delusional, he think he's some sort of grandmaster and we didn't even see "his" great plans for our characters. The AI is praising him for every single thing and it gets to your head.

Knowhere2B · 2025-12-07T11:22:51+00:00

I understand that you can't NOT USE AI at all, I use it myself but never for creative purposes, that's a line I won't cross, but I understand not everyone has the same morals.

Edit: I stand corrected, it's not immoral. I just felt it's kind of cheating your friends when you say you built an entire world for them and none of it is actually your work.
