    WotC WotC: 'Artists Must Refrain From Using AI Art Generation'

    So you are saying that since its not currently a requirement, that this is set in stone? The laws can change, and with them the guidelines for how to create ethically sourced datasets in the future. All I'm saying is they could have gone about this a bit better than saying "its not mandatory,"...

    Oops! Apologies, I meant in regards to stability ai models, I will edit this mistake.

    WotC WotC: 'Artists Must Refrain From Using AI Art Generation'

    Thank you for the explanation this does help to separate out the steps, however... Just because its not mandatory doesn't mean its legit to use for commercial purposes (thus why the law currently states that AI content cannot be copyrighted). Laws are in the wild west phase regarding datasets...

    WotC WotC: 'Artists Must Refrain From Using AI Art Generation'

    That's not what I am talking about. Whether its a link to an image or an embedded image, the dataset is still being used to create commercial content by referencing the dataset (see using artists names as prompts). This is going back around to the argument "if you don't want your work stolen...

    WotC WotC: 'Artists Must Refrain From Using AI Art Generation'

    Here is a link to a website called Have I Been Trained? (If you are a visual artist with concerns, the website also offers the option for artists to opt out of the LAION-5B dataset). It allows for the searching of the LAION-5B dataset to see if your art has been used to train an ai-generative...

    WotC WotC: 'Artists Must Refrain From Using AI Art Generation'

    One concern that I have as an analog visual artist are lead times and the production time for actual art. Real art, analog or digital (& I do both) takes time. A lot of time, effort, and a lot of trial and error to get to the point where something feels unique. Some easier pieces can take up...

    D&D 5E (2014) Glory of the Giants' AI-Enhanced Art

    I'm not actually accusing anyone (apologies if that how it seems), its an attempt to separate what humans do from how machines are trained on datasets. Most of the pro-ai comments on these forums & elsewhere are trying to compare ai-output as being akin to human creativity. It was a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Glory of the Giants' AI-Enhanced Art

    Yes its the hyped term, but its not how it functions in reality. Machine learning is years away from mimicing a human-like neural network.

    D&D 5E (2014) Glory of the Giants' AI-Enhanced Art

    Yet its already been established that ai-image generation tools have been trained on the LAION dataset, a dataset which is non-profit and for non-commercial purposes. Using the LAION dataset for commercial purposes (like paid subscription models) should be a red flag for anyone trying to defend...

    D&D General DMs Guild and DriveThruRPG ban AI written works, requires labels for AI generated art

    I'll say it one more time since people seem to have missed it. From the perspective of working artists across multiple industries, we are not all calling for the outright ban of AI, we are advocating for ethical guidelines for the use of ai-tools, and the fair compensation of artists when their...

    D&D General DMs Guild and DriveThruRPG ban AI written works, requires labels for AI generated art

    Well, I guess this is an agree to disagree, as we both have our own perspectives on the matter. For me the primary question I pose is what should be done with ai-tools that seek to use non-commercial datasets like LAION to create content for commercial purposes. I think that ethically...

    D&D General DMs Guild and DriveThruRPG ban AI written works, requires labels for AI generated art

    Well, I did cite two articles, so these aren't my own assumptions, but hard conclusions determined by researchers into the field. I don't have the article but Microsoft programmers came to the same conclusion. Its cool, I get that you are all for it, and I'm not 100% against any new technology...

    D&D General DMs Guild and DriveThruRPG ban AI written works, requires labels for AI generated art

    As a working artist (for over 23 years), both in physical mediums & digital, this entire situation is heartbreaking. Largely due to the staggering amount of disinformation going around both about working artists and AI-generated images. 1. ---> "AI Images aren't theft." The primary dataset for...

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    Thank you for making a transcript of the meeting, I watched a live stream of a content creator doing a follow up right after the summit, and it does line up with everything said in the OP with a few exceptions, which are of course likely open to interpretation (because no recordings of the...

    Pray for Me, Sinners 😂😬

    Best wishes on your results and your recovery from my wife and I <3. Depending on how gritty you like your fantasy setting, just how advanced in the medicine? Do they believe that demons or spirits inhabit your body when sick? If that's the case, some bloodletting may be in order.

    WotC WotC Creator Summit questions for ENWorld folks to ask.

    Just in case folks do get to ask questions, my most important question at the moment is: Will they be releasing the 3e SRD & the D20 Modern SRD under a creative commons license?
