    AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    You do not need modern art, either. AI art, created by using AI as a tool and not asking it to just come up with a picture for you, is like modern art. I dislike almost all modern art and much of it I personally don't consider to even be art. Is it art? Of course it is, and a lot of people...

    It's not even close to being a fine hair. What is in that quote is nothing like what I am describing.

    Right. That's a general, if complex prompt and not fine tuning. Two different things. What they show is not what I am talking about.

    A machine is just a more complex tool. Paintbrushes are tools. Canvas is a tool. It's all just us and tools.

    First, government can make mistakes. Second, that's a bit more than a year old and AI has come a long way in the last year. Third, reading through what they said, it seems like they're talking about general prompts like, "give me an elf riding a horse and shooting a bow." That's general...

    AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    The same way it's actual human art since you got there using your human brain to use the paint, paintbrush, and canvas tools to make it your own. It's not even the first time. Sculptors use power tools to get rid of large chunks of a piece of stone to help them get down to the part where they...

    How can you generate my vision for free? Again, I'm not talking about quick AI slop, which isn't someone's vision. I'm talking about using AI in depth as a tool to achieve an artist's vision Correct. And that can be achieved using AI as a tool and not something to just make art for you. No...

    Since it can fine tune without using specific art from the database, that's not correct. If I want it to lighten the shading in some areas, it can do that without having to redraw the entire thing. If I want the arm to bend more, it can bend it more without using specific art from the database...

    It's not the same at all. If I commission you to make a dragon, YOU are making the dragon to YOUR vision. I might influence that vision a bit, but it's still going to be YOUR vision of what I am asking for. AI does not have a vision, so what the final result is, is 100% MY vision, rending AI...

    AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    How is this ANY different than if I look at a piece of art and use that for my inspiration to paint something similar, but different? It's not just copying artwork at that point, because I'm directing the fine tuning myself until it gets it right according to MY vision. If my vision is similar...

    AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    There are two ways AI can be used with regard to artwork. 1) You can ask the AI to give you a picture of a female elf with a sword and bow, etc. and let it just give you a picture. That's the AI creating the artwork, and it takes from other artists. That sort of art should be banned as it's...

    D&D General D&D 3.5 - splatbook power creep or no?

    Which is fine. The one DM that had magic-mart also did not find it to be broken. However, there were multiple folks in this thread talking about how spellcasters were broken because they could make a ton of scrolls and buy any item. If you 1) view it as broken, and 2) set up the circumstances...

    D&D General D&D 3.5 - splatbook power creep or no?

    And yet I only played with one DM who ever played that way. Magic item purchasing is like 1e demi-human level limits. Most DMs I played with didn't want to play a game broken like that.

    D&D General D&D 3.5 - splatbook power creep or no?

    Typically, wizards would do something like the following. I'll use a 5th level wizard with an 18 intelligence. First Level: 4 Magic Missile Charm Person Mage Armor Shield Second Level: 3 Invisibility Scorching Ray Knock(if no rogue) Third Level: 2 Dispel Magic Fireball That's a variety of...
