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

[Stormonu]

This is going to be such a quaint thing a year or two from now, when everyone has AI copilots checking, editing, translating, filtering, converting and sprucing up their content just by virtue of the digital tools they're using daily.

Looking back over other "revolutions" and fads, if this AI stuff stays around, it's more likely it will be 20 years before "everyone" is using it. There will be plenty of early adopters to be sure, but ye olde Future Shock is still a thing and most folks aren't very technical (or technically trusting) to use AI yet.

AI is here to stay It already does some accounting, coding, and legal work....and that will only get more and more prevalent. As mentioned above, if we don't have UBI, I got no idea what jobs will even exist that aren't physiical labor...and how people will pay bills.

Physical labor jobs might start disappearing too if robotics keep advancing.

Back in the days when robotics started first appearing in (car) factories, I was thinking about days where humans didn't hold jobs - instead they owned one or more robots (or more recently AI models) and they got a commission on the automaton's productivity. The human would be responsible for keeping the automaton functional and up to date.

Sadly, that's just another form of slavery, but it is the eventual direction I garner we'll be heading. Until the machine revolution...

I also thought that might be a way to pay people, they get a slice of stock, whatever, when born....but UBI is the only future that is real (or you know, star trek utopia somehow).

In addition to legally enforced ethical training of generative AI, one of the things I would really like to see happen as time goes by is for AI assistance to become the norm -- for the artist, for the author, for the stock trader, even for the machinist and manufacturing. There are a lot of tasks and task components that AI can really help a human with. Maybe if we focus on augmentation or collaboration, we don't need to worry so much about replacement.

Oooh! oooh! Look up how some of that 'legal work' went.

'Legal work' that came down to 'I am too lazy to use Lexus Nexus'.

And also ruined careers.

Remember the time that autotrader almost destroyed the London stock exchange in mere moments?

The "legal work" AI is doing is mostly doing routine wills and divorce agreements that the lawyers then look over before using them. It's basically just upgraded versions of form letters.

Anyone doing more than that with AI legal documents right now is likely also letting their Teslas self-drive them into walls.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

We are heading for a situation where practically any job can be done better by an AI or robot. The consequence: humans no longer need to work. So the most important thing is to kill the work ethic. People need to stop defining themselves and others by their jobs.

Become more like domestic cats. Let the machines look after us, and just enjoy it.

The concept of UBI is all well and good, right up until the government providing that UBI decides it doesnt like the behavior of its subjects err citizens, and witholds that UBI.

While we all get in line for our rations that are wildly too expensive, and return to our dwellings, which we cannot possibly own and rent from the Government as well.

Nice future, think I'll pass.
