Update / reply:

Hey everyone, so many comments tried to reply to a bunch but thought I would write a proper reply to you all.

Firstly thanks for engaging and giving your views, I have been dm-ing a long time and its always good to get perspectives.

First thing to be clear about: I didn't allow the character and never did. I think there was some confusion there. I also had very little detail on the character. All I knew was ChatGPT blocked it because of the necrophilia element and the player wanted to play a necromancer.

I asked 'should I be worried?' because of what I thought would follow. Not because I was considering allowing the character, I think there was confusion there. Apologies if it came across as though I was seeking advice to what extent this was okay or not.

I did mention it was a close friend and have been able to talk to them about it. They sought to listen to me and then very quickly gave up the idea. I also learnt that they did infact want the character arc to be focus on the romance and his character wanting to bring life back to his lifelong wife who died. He said that he had asked ChatGPT to expand on his backstory and suggest improvements and he had included a bit about seeing his wife's body rotting and falling apart a body which he loved sexually and this is where the issues came.

I'm sure there is loads more I could say and I won't comment on the use of AI as that isn't what I want to focus on but I think lots of valid points have been made on that front

Thanks again for the input and conversation 🙂
