I've received some workplace tasking. Investigate as to whether some program like ChatGPT can be used to assist in the creation of scenarios to aid in testing the ability of a team to conduct analysis.
Whilst mucking about, I asked the program about 40K. What could I be told about the Imperial Guard? What details were held on Praetorian Guard regiments? I asked it to create a battle report in the style of a historical piece on a battle between the Praetorians and Orks. The interface came up with a fairly descriptive piece.
Having further fun, I input that the Praetorians had a Regimental Mascot, a Westie named Sparky. Create a report on Sparky's defense of the Regiment's Colours. The first draft included the made up detail of Sparky wearing a replica tunic. I informed the interface to change that detail to Sparky's wearing of a pith helmet.
The generated piece is shown below, courtesy of Chat GPT. I didn't create this, a machine did from my vague parameters. It has combined details of Orks, it references lasguns and Space Marines. I didn't call the battle Ferrox Prime, the program generated that along with the Imperium style dating. A first draft brought in Basilisks, again, not a term I programmed in.
Is it perfect? No. There will be inconsistencies that will require a human eye to spot and correct.
