Pros and Cons of AI in Worldbuilding
Pros and Cons of AI in Worldbuilding
In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it? Here's mine:
Pro: Using a reasoning model, I can feed my notes and allow the LLM detect patterns I otherwise might have missed.
Con: Consistently using AI outputs as-is could make your project formulaic and generic—something you don't want if you want a certain facet of your lore to stand out.
It can make it dry and without substance. If you need help, ask for advice. Don't rely on a computer for creativity.
Pros: Can immediately suggest an alternate idea that was otherwise unexpected or could not be spurred by creative means. It gives invaluable help when dealing with writer's block.
Cons: When relied upon solely or in great amounts, can easily make the writer dependent, predictable and lazy in the creative process.
