I used a meme because of the nature of your post. This thread is about Gen-AI, not about crypto, blockchain, or NFT's, all of which do use up power. However, just because these others do as well, does not mean that you can deflect from the main subject at hand (gen-ai). Thus, I used a meme to...

Sadly, if they do go under they will likely be bought out by Microsoft, who hold a significant share in OpenAI, which may even be what they want in the long run. The thing is, Open-AI started out as a tax-exempt non-profit before they changed to a for-profit model. It is tragic, as they started...

And lets not forget the disastrous cost to the environment (Gen-AI's required use of water evaporates that water completely, while human use typically "re-uses" water as it returns to the system). Not to mention the ever-increasing strain on the power grid. It is simply unsustainable (and as of...

Agreed it is a bit too soon (I just got 1st edition on sale as well a bit ago), as I have yet to run a game. However, I do understand that from a business perspective they might need to do the release of 2nd edition sooner than later likely due to licensing issues (as we don't know when their...

https://www.inc.com/howard-tullman/the-ai-hype-machine-is-running-on-empty.html Despite years of hype, gen-ai has yet to realize any significant ROI, with news that OpenAI will potentially end up bankrupt by the end of the year. With losses totaling 5 billion$ this year alone (with sources...

Just an update for folks who don't yet have the hardware to use Glaze/ Nightshade, they have updated the tools to work with intel chips (they previously only worked on M1 or higher silicon chips), but I think that it takes more time to glaze your artwork. Also, they have made "Webglaze"...

Damn that is rough, but great to hear that he's in recovery. Best of health to everyone and I hope folks are doing ok with the heat.

Yep, its pretty ridiculous.

And that's fine, if that is what you are aiming for with a project. Loads of artist commissions go along the lines of "can you draw me something that looks kind of like this," this has been the case since freelancing has been around. That's all good, if you have a concept for your game that is...

This is not what I said at all... The article states that recent MIT research shows that it does not help or augment individuals that already have top notch professional training and skills, but it does help those with low-skills.

I voted for "other" as the game I am currently designing is built for "emergent storytelling" as in the story evolves as play progresses. However, I have personally played a lot of characters in various games, and I unfortunately often avoided long backstories for my characters as our home...

ATM, from the perspective of a client that hires professional artists, I agree that starting from scratch is more cost effective. Any random artist has their own artistic process and a workflow, which IMHO is interrupted by incorporating gen-ai outputs. The artist has to clean up the gen-ai...

This is referred to as the "Alice In Wonderland" problem. It can respond to questions by predicting outputs, but it cannot reliably understand context in terms of problem solving.

Those are some good thoughts on the subject, thank you for your contribution. I think they are underselling Nightshade because it is still brand new, and will need further development in order to become even more effective. I agree that more widespread measures will be needed, but in the...

Absolutely 100% Agree. I won't pretend to have concrete solutions, as this is a new problem (detecting gen-ai outputs), and these things take time to solve. For example Glaze & Nightshade are currently available to the public, but are still stuck in the early "beta" stages as it will take time...

This /\ I liked this post because it cuts right through all the BS. On the subject of detectors, I also concur about ai detectors getting it wrong all the time, as I have tested hundreds of samples of my own art, some going back twenty years, and some come up as 50% ai generated (or more) when...

This is a [+] thread, specifically addressing ways for creatives to protect themselves from harmful data scraping and the theft of their intellectual property. If you are pro-ai, there are plenty of other threads for you to talk about that, while this thread is specifically for creatives and...

Yeah I am not sure what happened, I thought I received a notification but I can't see anything now. Oh well. I think I tried my best, but its also a difficult subject, I don't blame them for their reaction, it just means that I can't continue the conversation. All I asked for was some proof...

I can't report it because I can't see it on my account. At this point, I feel like I am at a disadvantage as I can't really see what's going on, and I am not going to stoop to the same behavior (not you Frogreaver, the guy who quoted me while I can't respond).
