You’re reacting someone who’s very obviously baiting and trolling. It’s also very obvious it’s just yet another character from someone who was here before but their character (finally) got spat out and it’s probably not been the first time either. Recognise them early and then ignore them. ---

> [@Swing\_Vote](#): > > I see your point about AI-generated content lacking ‘soul,’ but I use ChatGPT the same way others use spreadsheets, killboards, or doctrine sites—it’s a tool. I still vet, edit, and choose what I post. The ideas are mine, even if I use AI to sharpen the delivery. Are we really gatekeeping creativity based on _how_ it’s crafted instead of _what_ it’s saying? Oooh…I like this. I mean why bother thinking up a response to that when ChatGPT can do one for me… * * * Using ChatGPT on the EVE Online forums can be helpful in certain contexts, but it should be done thoughtfully and with transparency. Here’s a breakdown: ### **Pros of Using ChatGPT:** - **Drafting Posts or Replies:** It can help players articulate thoughts clearly, especially for feedback, bug reports, or lore discussions. - **Explaining Concepts:** Useful for summarizing complex game mechanics or providing guides for new players. - **Idea Brainstorming:** Can help propose features or balance changes in a structured way. ### **Cons or Considerations:** - **Authenticity:** Posts generated solely by AI may feel impersonal or out of touch with the player-driven culture of EVE. - **Forum Rules:** Some communities (including game forums) may have guidelines or cultural norms against AI-generated content, especially if not disclosed. - **Accuracy:** ChatGPT’s knowledge of EVE Online might be outdated or incomplete. It can make confident-sounding errors about ships, mechanics, or lore. ### **Best Practices:** - **Use it as a writing assistant, not a substitute for experience.** - **Double-check in-game facts.** - **Be transparent if you’re using it to help write something.** - **Inject your own experiences and personality—EVE players value that.** Would you like help crafting a specific post for the EVE forums? ---

Why write a forum post/anything yourself when you can write it with LLM (chatgpt/whatever)? It’s the same as asking: why learn to walk when you can roll around in a wheelchair? Why learn a foreign language when you can just have google/whatever translate everything for you? You do it because it’s a useful skill and because it develops you as a human being. Walking is more exhilarating and gives you more freedom than have someone/something else carry you. In this case, writing a post yourself is better, regardless of quality of expression or grammar, because it’s a useful skill of communicating with other people. Writing a bunch of prompts for something else to do the work is not communication. Which this forum is about. (Also – no wonder a lot young people these days don’t know how to communicate with other people). Using chatgpt/etc is a regression of human abilities. That’s why it’s so objectionable. It’s not a tool, it’s a handicap. One willfully opted into no less. That’s all I’m ever gonna say about it. ---

Yes. She’s located in a work of fiction called Terminator and several of its sequels. I’m sure that CharGPT would be able to access that information if it has access to pop culture references. If not ChatGPT, then one or more of the other AIs out there in the world would. ![1000003527](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/8/e/b8e53720e32976166700560992cd62987a08c940.jpeg) ---

Also, I think EVE and the forum need more young ones. Most of young players from 17 to 25 can’t stay for a month. (I had never seen a player younger than 17) EVE is a hard game, but I believe there will be young players who can stay for years. ---
