Re: [TML] Using AI in your game?

I don't use GenAI for anything. I do, however, use Perl scripts to
generate worlds, (and sub-sectors, and sectors), NPC, and plot hooks.
Generating a whole sector, to include maps and animal incounter
tables, takes about 3 hours. After being fed into yet another Perl
script, I get LaTex files that I make into PDF files complete with a
table of contents and an index. I'm working on a script that
generates a PNG file of the map for the world, but that's a bit
tricky.
