I remember playing a half-elf that slammed against the cleric level limit .... that was annoyingly low.

Which speaks to another thing that's always bothered me: the super-long lifespans of elves. I gave them the same lifespan, ultravision, better dex, worse strength. What I realize writing this? Doing that allows "Long-lived gorgeous pointy-eared beings of intelligence and grace" to be fey...

I've seen AI "hallucinations" in the course of my day job. I work in an industry where precision of information is vital. I've seen clients come in with AI generated arguments that are just fabrications. I've now seen the same doing gaming stuff that doesn't put lives at risk. If the AI can't...

I've got con checks for anyone in body points. Con+HP - so folks might fail at 3/4 body points.

So, because I'm not a total chud, and because I try to keep an open mind, I spent the last week trying to do something positive/constructive with an AI LLM, because some folks see vary pro AI.... and I am the opposite. I remain largely unchanged. While the LLM was able to create some meritous...

Very well, then.

This whole mess just become messier - or not. The US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal on a Federal Court decision that found AI material cannot be copyrighted. Which raises questions on how material with partial AI content can be treated.

I'm challenging you on your statement. You seemed to suggest that because people couldn't tell the difference between AI material and flesh-tube material, that the AI material was somehow equivalent. Was that not your point?

I think that's defensible. So... we're OK with the organized theft and re-use of human-created art because the machines that stole the art are so good at mimicking what they stole that the theft is now something we're gonna ignore? Each computer in a data centre uses as much power in one hour...

Humans create art. Machines assemble synthesized stuff stolen from humans. There is no such thing as "AI art."

Valid. SO let's see what happens with a "better" prompt.. Please create an NPC that may be found in a large port city; low-level (1-3) but interesting, designed for a D&D 2e setting with characters about fourth-or fifth level. The world has few magic-users, but acknowledges clerics from the...
