D&D General DMs Guild and DriveThruRPG ban AI written works, requires labels for AI generated art

Oh man, you really got us there.

Well, there's no use in trying to solve any problem if we can't solve the biggest problem, everyone let's get back to creating even more problems! Woo, defeatist attitudes!

How clever. Congratulations.

So it is about effort. How do you feel about DJs?

This is about humans.

Edit: I'm glad human suffering is hilarious to some folks.

Assuming you have such a thing? Like it or not, social media and the internet is how people find such things these days. If members of your local arts collective are looking for commissions and aren't on Facebook, Instagram and Deviant, that's on them.

If they're willing to largely abandon their copyright to whatever art they post, that's also on them.

I'm not sure that's legally true, but I understand your point. The internet is absolutely designed for the free flow of copyrig--, er, information.

DJs research the music they use, set queues, adjust mixes, travel, and operate machines for the service they provide. They provide a form of manual labor, they don't flood the music market with copies of unlicensed, illegal mixes (though some probably have tried and gotten in trouble for it).

Again, a false equivalence.

So I can assume people fine with AI art would be fine with AI DMs?

Why would you assume that?

I should say that an AI DM might not be that bad, but that doesn't necessarily mean I would want to use one. I prefer gaming with my friends but I guess an AI DM might be beneficial for a group of players that can't find a DM.

Pshhh. Forget the AI Dm's. I want AI players!

I think this was written because we're coming up on July 31:

Get back in that bottle, Genie!

Somebody made an AI NPC mod for Skyrim. It's quite terrifying for someone's hobby side project.

AI players for DnD might only be years away, not decades.
