Id rather NOT use something that will share my personal details with questionable institutions, but deepseek won't remember anything I typed in my current session (and for the libs out there, no, I don't care if China has my personal details; it's not China that can and might use my personal details against me).

Id hate to craft a whole setting in shadowrun only to have to do it again next time. I've been working in Qatar for over a decade and wanted to craft a Qatar-based game (for which by the way, deepseek has gone above and beyond in crafting a shadowrun Qatar; they know about the local traditional attire and suggested shadowrun items themed around them without prompting, and locales they rewrote to reflect a shadowrun aesthetic, and it's calling the underground hacktivist resistance 'silk ghosts' (it does a silk road thing throughout)). I only suggested robots occupy most jobs and it crafted a Qatar where robots are 70% of the workforce while the locals are either execs or destitute, and the (in real life nationally owned) energy and oil company are now privately owned by 'Sustainitech'.

After this impressive world building all I can think is I really don't want craft all this from scratch every time.

Oh my God I hate this; I asked deepseek to create for me shadowrun partners and it's embraced the theme so beautifully; the hacker 0xMiraj has a keffiyeh with embedded fiber optics cables and has as his contact an AI imam of a hacktivist mosque called Al muezzin (apparently the 'muezzin' is the person who conducts the Muslim call to prayers), a rigger called ghosthaul who's a Bedouin smuggler with a drone army, and a physical adept called al razi who has as his contact an underground cyber-monk network called the blind sheikh.

Ah I really hate this; I don't want to lose all this, especially when Im quite certain the chatGPT, copilot and grok versions will just be racist as heck.

This isn't related to your question, but you wrote "apparently the 'muezzin' is the person who conducts the Muslim call to prayers" and I have to wonder: how have you lived in Qatar for over a decade and you're just now learning what a muezzin is?

I thought the imam was the one who did that (I don't really know why the two are separate roles)
