In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it? Here's mine:

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.

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.
