SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: yabaziou on September 24, 2024, 01:52:08 PMSo a soulless corporation (WotC/Hasbro) made a rational decision to maximinize its gains, for it is a profit driven legal entity, which benefits from a weird monopolity (too big too fail, it seems), by remplacing illustrators (not artists) by soulless tools of exploitation of the works of paid for hired freelancers !?
Quote from: yabaziou on September 24, 2024, 01:52:08 PMHonestly, buy the Rpgpundit RPG stuff, at least, he cares about the TTRPG hobby and the quality of its products.

I'm not sure if I'm missing tone here, yabaziou, but RPGPundit has made it clear that he supports use of AI art - which you seem to be negatively portraying here.

That doesn't mean I oppose buying his stuff. I've bought five of his games.

Also, to clarify, I support use of AI under conditions - namely that the AI creator has legal rights to the works it is trained on.

Why would you, willingly, misunderstand my tone, since my words were written in mirthless sarcasm, for my contempt of the way which, WotC/Hasbro and its thoughtless sycophants behave, is quite clear ?
IA is a tool.
IA is legal.
WotC/Hasbro leadership, management and creative designers, have made know that non woke people are not welcome in their general location and that you have to believe the woke drivel to enjoy their D&D.
I am not woke, I don't, also, enjoy WotC/Hasbro D&D past behavior, which I attribute to greed and apathy from the average consumer.
Greed is not a good thing for me, and if people want to enjoy D&D like games, I would rather they buy the RPGPundit books than the WotC/Hasbro books.
Am I being more understable for you ?

Quote from: Horace on September 24, 2024, 11:37:47 AMAs a consumer, I want more AI, because AI = more options. AI allows good creators to put out more work faster. It's a force multiplier. If it leads to an explosion of inferior products, then the answer is better curation, not prohibition. Give consumers better tools to navigate the sludge and locate the good stuff. It's not hard.

Apparently it is hard. It's getting harder and harder to seperate the wheat from the chaff. I don't want a glut of AI assisted product competing for my attention.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

That's probably because we're still in the early phases of AI and content curators haven't figured out how to deal with it yet beyond allowing it/disallowing it. Come up with a good Seal-of-Approval/Editor's-Choice mechanism and you'd have the best of both worlds.
