Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

I'm a DM using ChatGPT to help me build things for my DnD campaign/world and not telling my players. Does that count? I still do most of the heavy lifting but it's nice to be able to brainstorm and get ideas bounced back. I don't exactly have friends to do that with.

I do the same thing; it's been great. ChatGPT is often problematic in other scenarios because it will sometimes just make stuff up, but that's nothing but a positive for brainstorming D&D plots. I did tell my players though.

It's phenomenal for making statblocks for NPCs too. fleshes out the whole thing in seconds. spells, feats, abilities, everything.

I use Midjourney to create illustrations of what I'm trying to describe as well as NPCs and PCs.

Midjourney isn't free though, correct? I was thinking about doing this, but I'm also just bit behind the curve with image generation AI and just not sure about how to best go about it.
