Pros and Cons of AI in Worldbuilding

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

Pro: Using a reasoning model, I can feed my notes and allow the LLM detect patterns I otherwise might have missed.

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.

It can make it dry and without substance. If you need help, ask for advice. Don't rely on a computer for creativity.
