I find there are few things that couldn't benefit with some level of guidelines at minimum and many that would benefit from something more systematized, both for the GM and the player. Generally speaking if your class is specifically meant to be good at it, there probably should be rules for it...

I really enjoy it as a very tightly-built system with a lot of options. I can't speak to the experiences of others here, but I find that the options are actually pretty good at making characters distinct, especially within individual classes. This is particularly true for the martials, but every...

Yeah, and the Remaster should do a good job of lessening the books you need, since they'll be combining where most of the alternative feats are (APG) into the two new Cores with their classes.

It was not used to generate a reference image. The reference image was generated by a real artist who was hired to do concept art. They created the sketch of an image based on the concept art, then used AI enhancement to do the fine linework. Then it was put into the book as the final product...

The best description I've heard is that it's everyone's second-favorite edition, thus the easiest one to get everyone playing.

Probably the latter more than the former, especially with systems that like to "simulate reality" like 3.X did. I mean, I've seen my players struggle with rules and then go to system with more narrative mechanics and be completely comfortable making stuff up.

You're missing the point and making up random examples. Not sure I can make the point any simpler or clearer that it already has been made by myself and many others.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't need to be in the text every time because it's implicit: there is no rule dictating you can't, which you'd think it would tell you given how many rules the system already has. Also you can say that it's a Reputation thing, but there's no reputation system...

I mean, the implicit thing there is that if you have that Feat, it allows you to use the skill in that way. There is nothing that says that you can only use that feat to do that thing. Given that there are so many rules, that you could only do something by having the right thing would have to be...

No, you're not listening. The only thing the Feat does is allow you to have a set way of doing it. It does not mean that no one else can do it, just perhaps not in that way. That is not breaking the game, that is just something implicit in the system rather than explicit. You don't ignore any...

Yes, but there's nothing in the text that prevents you from using what those do. It doesn't say that's the only way to make a rumor or such, that's just a specific option that you have via the skill, which is exactly what you are saying: it's a new way to use a skill or make you better at a skill.

Like @Vaalingrade says, humans can make things inaccurate out of intention or style or simply not knowing. This isn't meant to be evocative, this is just a program putting pieces together and making artifacts because it doesn't realize that car spokes have to be straight or railings don't look...

Not really in the same way or to the same extent. Just like the conversation I had regarding mistakes, the mistakes AI make are very different than the shortcomings of an actual artist.

I mean, in concept you could do it. It'd be ethically better but I feel like I'd be kind of ambivalent on it? But at the least, it would be a "do no harm" sort of scenario. But you'd need a large dataset to do that.

I mean, it's better than just making it up wholesale, but better doesn't mean "good". The problem is Step 2: to "enhance", the AI needs a dataset to go off of. Unless Ilya has a rather extensive database of art that he has created that works within the style, he's probably getting it from...

It's called Monday Morning Quarterbacking, and the rest of your post is a non sequitur.

That was my point. D&D not having a policy while Magic does suggests neglect at best and possible encouragement at worst.

Yeah, this is why so much of the hype around AI destroying the world or taking over information/knowledge jobs is incredibly premature: without those people, they don't have a dataset to farm and suddenly you have the "trash in, trash out" problem. It still can't parse problems in a meaningful...

I'm quite aware of how quick it's going. Trust me, I'm following it fairly closely. But at the same time, with great strides come setbacks, too. We were mocking AI for its problems with hands (and teeth, which was another big tell), but as it has gotten better at that it still has problems, even...

I think they're saying that you can get if you include the artist as part of a prompt, even if its a subject they've never touched, by including it in the prompt may end up including the signature despite it not directly taking it from something. To give an example, if I asked for "Star Trek...
