SWN and AI

I haven't GMed any SWN in years, and have started getting back into it. The last time I'd done anything with it, it was left where the characters were approaching a secret testing facility on a remote moon, and I hadn't really fleshed out any of it. I had a general idea, but no details. I'm no lover of AI, but decided to try it, just to see what it could do for me. I used Gemini as a collaborator. In about two hours, it had fleshed out the entire station, airlock locations, medbay, workshop, lab, residences, common area, all the equipment in each room, and nine NPCs with personalities/motivations. It was very useful in helping me organize my thoughts, and because its style is very chatbot/conversational, there was a good flow to the process. Sometimes it would make a mistake as if it had forgotten where we had placed something, so its spatial awareness was a bit off. It was very good at accepting constraints, and it would apply reasoning from earlier in the conversation to solve issues later in the conversation. All in all, it was very good, surprisingly good for a first attempt. Has anybody tried using it for game content creation?
