For me, if I want to go for breadth (quantity), AI is fine. For depth (quality), I have to come up with it or commission someone really skilled at their work.

I take Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall as an example. The massive scale of its world map was ultimately procedurally-generated (i.e. AI). The locations important to the main quest was hand-crafted and generally of better quality.

      I think I’ll use AI to keep track of the lore accurately, if I were to ever write a story

      Unfortunately, in my experience, AI is bad at remembering stuff like that. It’s not a database, it’s just a text generator.

        There is a difference between AI in general and LLM’s, a subset of AI. Text generators like ChatGPT are the latter.
