Nah get the fuck out of my hobby with that stolen shit. If I learnt that my GM was using AI I’d be out of there so fast.

Yeah like people aren’t using existing materials in their campaigns.

I said use it for suggestions to break writers block.

How is using ai for suggestions any different then taking ideas from other media?

These are not the same. Here are some of the ways someone may be fine with reusing existing material while being against AI:

  • Someone may value thoughtful and coherent world building, while feeling like the AI generated amalgamation dilutes the cohesiveness of the material.
  • Someone can be for public sharing of ideas, while simultaneously against AI companies disregarding licenses attached to those ideas to build AI products.
  • Someone can value the personality and individual perspective that a content author or DM injects into material and feel that AI-generated material lacks this character.

Don’t reduce the use of AI down to the reuse of material. It also averages out material into some sort of lowest common denominator - sacrificing exactly the things that many niche fandoms value: personality and imagination.

And getting suggestions to help form your story takes any of those away?

I agree with the licensing implications but I doubt many people seek licenses from these guys before taking inspiration.

As either inspiration or use it directly for a game that isn’t for profit.

Personal use implies not for profit. And I feel it’s expecting a lot for all DMs to create their own art.
