You're asking someone in cybersecurity to shrug off using technology for evil. My retirement is guaranteed to be cozy because of the ways GenAI can be used to do harm. :p

I agree we shall not agree.

It converts the training data into model data. It's essentially using spatial relationships and indirect references to store data instead of raw text, but the information is still there even if it's extremely difficult to untangle it precisely. Whether or not the alteration is sufficient for...

Nope. You're just using the claim they hope the judges buy in court. It's why one of the big risks in LLMs is that the model data will get extracted. The transformation is in the vector sense rather than the polymorph sense.

It just takes more work to filter out. It's a matter of the ratio of needles to hay. The relationships between tokens are the record of what was written. In my puzzle analogy, it's just mixing lots of puzzles together to make it harder to put the less common puzzles together.

This is false. If it were true LLMs would be incapable of generating quotes or replicating famous images. It does not store the data in a raw string, in the same way a puzzle is not a complete picture.

Analogies are terrible, but - an LLM can be likened to a box of puzzle pieces. It does not contain the picture on the box! But you can get the picture out of it if you put the pieces together in order.

The loophole is the "repackage and sell scraped data" element.

Unjust enrichment.

That is very often not the case.

An LLM cannot be creative, but other programs that are at least closer to AI could, and that might utilize LLMs as a component. LLMs are a very specific thing. That some people can't tell the difference is a whole different issue.

Within the RPG context, there is a huge amount of purely human work already, so it'd not like there's a gap to fill anyway. WotC already produces a lot fewer rulebooks and adventures than other major companies, so it's not like they're running low on human talent to keep up the pace.

My job requires me to know all the ways they can go wrong, so alas, inescapable. But hey, job security!

Having the thing that is bad at math and bad at programming build a math program is not an improvement. :p

We're talking about WotC. I would hope that they would be expected to maintain professional standards.

It's good at generating generic, common code, it's going to struggle with robust, complicated code, because as with math it doesn't actually understand anything. It's handy for getting started, but programmers will still need to understand what they're doing and apply actual programming skills.

The only useful thing for GenAI to be doing is to help search the older books and settings bibles for data. "Help me find all references to Elminster in a comedic context" "list all the classes that use animated objects" etc. There would be a lot of value in having a program that simulates...

This is more of a result of propoganda, basically institutionalized gaslighting to preserve the profit for a self-deckared elite subset. It's a long historical thing that I am ill-equipped to speak about, but the instance that always comes to mind is how the ancient (Greeks? Romans?) pushed to...

What? Neither spellcheck nor GenAI are AI.

I correct spellcheck and grammar tools all the time. :/
