Using AI for the AI game has been super successful in yielding results more closely resembling what I was going for.

Let me start by clarifying that I don’t use it for creating the *ideas*. I use it to “speak” properly to the game’s AI in order to get it to create what I envision much better than my original wording. It’s a little more tedious, but has yielded SIGNIFICANTLY better generations of venues, outfits, etc. than what I was getting on my own, because AI understands how to “speak” AI. I’ve used it to help me refine my character’s autopilot too when she was being a huge b*tch to everyone who tried to interact with her. 😂

I make sure ChatGPT knows:
- What game I am playing
- The description character limit (make sure it knows the game includes spaces as characters)
- The the most important details for the AI to pay attention to should be CAPITALIZED
- The details of what I want the game to generate with as many words as I need/want (this is the most helpful part because I can be as descriptive as I want and ChatGPT can figure out the most important things to include). You could even provide an image if you’re working off of one already for your description. You can ask it for suggestions too if you want (example: I needed an idea for the kind of shoe that worked best with an outfit and it offered several suggestions).

I ask ChatGPT to condense what I want into the character limit in a way that the AI of the game will best understand for rendering what I am looking to create. And then I refine. I will ask clarifying questions when I think the AI may misinterpret something (example: it originally had me include “NO HAT” in a hairstyle description, but when I asked if the AI might just see the word “hat” and give the character a hat I didn’t ask for, it agreed and rewrote it omitting “NO HAT”).

I hope this suggestion is helpful because it really sucks when you spend coins to create something that doesn’t turn out at all like you wanted! [I wish that I would’ve thought of this when I created my character’s base because I don’t like her base look at all and you can’t hide it from public view. 😭]
