#writerscoffeeclub May 13: When does AI cross the line between helpful tool and problematic tech for writing and publishing?

For me, when it goes from a creative aid to the creator.

I use Grammarly for spelling, grammar and composition. It's great, especially as I have dysgraphia. (I'm using it in this post 😱).

AI does not create original work. Its output is based on existing work. It creates cookie-cutter versions (like Marvel movies 🤣) with no soul.

I happen to believe AI is over-hyped. 🙂

Been waiting months for these beauties from Everymans Library. Now the only question is: which should I read first??

Identifying when to throw those last few hit points in the trash and call the fight a "win" for the adventurers is part of what separates a great GM from a good GM.

Your games pacing, the spotlight moment for your heavy hitters, and respecting your players time and emotional investment in a combat scene, are all much more important than the big bads last 10 HP.
