GMs, how have you used ChatGPT to help run your games? (ttrpg.network)

ChatGPT has been a lifeline for me as a GM with little spare time to prep and far too grand ambitions for the scale and scope of (D&D) campaign I want to run. I'm curious how other GMs have found ChatGPT and similar AI tools useful or helpful in running their own games. I'll share my own workflow below as a comment, and I hope others find it useful. I'm especially interested in any ChatGPT prompts you have found worthwhile, and you can see some of my own prompts in the examples I'll share shortly.

A few sessions ago in my Monster of the Week campaign, I needed a folk tale of a Raven and a Fox who piss off some diety figures. I knew the beats of the tale but I didn't really have time to write it all up, so I asked Bing to do it. I had to rewrite the last quarter of it, but the story it produced otherwise worked just fine. I then used stable diffusion to illustrate it and provided it as a handout that the players could (but didn't) read. Ah well.

That area of "material that's nontrivial to produce but not certain to be read/consumed by the players" might be the most useful place for chatgpt, in retrospect. I don't want to draft an entire story that could well just be ignored, but I can edit or touch up something that an AI gives me.
