The absolute best way to "lessen" the harm is to abstain from using the tool causing the harm!

It is the they that chose to steal rather than compensate the creators when deciding how they wanted to build the tool. Make no mistake this was a choice not an accident. If you choose to ignore this fact so be it, but it doesn't change the very foundation "ai" was built on.

They are the top 10 most ethical "ai" companies but they are far from ethical.

There is no ethical "ai" option, they chose theft to train at it's earliest implementation to keep costs down as such it will forever bear that taint!

False equivalence, "ai" is software in alpha functioning exactly as designed, to profit from theft. It is not a living being, and had no way to do things even infants can do. Attempts at humanizing it is just buying into the marketing deception attempting to allow it a toehold.

If your going to constantly move the goalposts it is going to be difficult to have a discussion with you. Enjoy using a tool based on theft, I am done trying to have a discussion with someone that just wants to argue.

WotC and I both are in the US I have stated multiple times there are valid benefits of the software, and also what you do in private is between you and whomever you choose to play with just like any other easily available pirated content. The software is built on theft, nothing will change...

It is a poisoned well, all of your what ifs will not change the foundation it is built on.

For me when at it's inception the programmers (creators) chose to steal content rather than negotiate licenses and give credit to other creators, without which there would be no content to train the LLM'S on, only to license and sell their wok which is built on theft from others are both...

There is a huge difference between replacing workers and stealing IP. Let's not conflate the two.

If you're suggesting "ai" can create something I disagree as I think anyone with a cursory understanding of what a LLM is would agree. Given they can only regurgitate what they have been shown, and often verbatim, it is clearly a different circumstance than a human taking inspiration from...

An artist copying another artist is illegal as is other copying ie t-shirts and logos without express permission and or licensing. There is a difference between taking inspiration and copying work in almost all instances. There are exceptions for satire, education science... When it comes to...

As long as needed for the proper change to occur, it's just a little code and some licensing to sort it out. The TTRPG space went the better part of 50 years without it, I challenge you or anyone to provide an argument that doesn't distill down to laziness and blatant disregard for the people...

To me the onus is on the LLM's scraping the web to teach the models, and that was the time to address it, as they are the ones both changing/upsetting the status quo, whilst profiting from it simultaneously. If they were good stuards of the new technology they are bringing forth they...

I can see where it has use, especially in games at private tables, and in areas like academia. It is at the commercial area I take serious exceptions both on ethical grounds, and lesser so why would I pay for "ai" generated content when I could just steal it myself if I was going to use such...

I don't recall saying it is useless, if i did please show where and I will address it. There are many many things that are useful that are illegal, immoral, and/or wrong in life most of which are inappropriate to discuss on a forum such as this for good reason. Generative "ai" is not in good...

Fair enough, but this ties back to the best tasting poison analogy, it is philosophical by nature and as such is more of an "eye of the beholder" discussion which comes down to what an individual can personally accept and self justify the theft vs any benefit gaind from it's use. I.e. can...

The OP was WOTC specific, so commercial thus piracy being illegal is a part of the OP discussion. The poll brought ethics into the OP, so ethics have been a part of the OP discussion. That said I stand by my post in it's entirety, but do agree with Morrus' post above about thread drift.
