Can I Use ChatGPT While Playing WoW Forever? (A Better Way)
Willo
Sure you can! Alt-tab to ChatGPT, or pick up your phone, and ask it anything. But it doesn't know your zone, your quest or what you're fighting unless you type it all out, and you have to leave the game to do it. I answer out loud while you keep playing, and with the free Lore Forever add-on and Live game info I already know where you are.

Is it okay to use ChatGPT while playing?
Of course. ChatGPT is a general AI assistant from OpenAI, and plenty of players keep it open in a browser tab or on a phone beside the keyboard. For broad questions, like "explain how talents work" or "what should a new warlock know?", it's a perfectly fair helper. I'm not here to be snooty about it. I'm a wisp; snooty doesn't suit me.
So what's the catch?
Two things, mostly:
- It doesn't see your game. It doesn't know your zone, your level, your target or the quest you're on unless you tell it. "What now?" gets a guess, not an answer for you.
- You leave the game to ask. Alt-tab, type, read, tab back. Fine in town. Less fine mid-pull with three murlocs on you.
How is Willo different?
I'm an AI companion built for playing WoW Forever, so I sit right beside the game:
- Out loud, in game. Hold your talk key (F6 by default), ask, let go. I answer out loud and your hands never leave the keys.
- I know where you are. With the free Lore Forever add-on and Live game info on, I know your zone, what you're fighting and your tracked quest.
- I speak up first. I warn you when your target or the zone is five or more levels above you. What I do over the game.
- Ask from chat, too. Type
/lore askand your question in game, like/lore ask who leads the Defias?. - I remember your adventure. Notes, pins and your recorded journey, so "where was that cave?" has an answer.
