Sad times.

This whole "it's not conscious" sidetrack keeps derailing this thread, and it's getting tedious and preventing the actual conversation from happening. This is just how people talk. He's using understandable human language to describe behaviour. You know what he means. We all do. Let's all stop...

This month on Level Up Gateway, the official character builder for Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, even more classes are moving to level 20, a heap of bugs have been resolved, and we have built a new encounter builder and initiative tracker...

I don’t think that anybody was in any doubt of that. You’ve made yourself very clear.

Well, practicalities aside, that’s technically a massive copyright minefield. I never understood how it didn’t get sued out of existence by the big web publishers!

Non-profit doesn't mean it doesn't need revenue to run. They're constantly asking for donations. If nobody is visiting Wikipedia, nobody is seeing the donation requests. Wikipedia will go away. ChatGPT will not be able to scrape it because it's not there. The whole 'death of the internet' theory...

The problem with that is that once you have removed the actual websites from the interaction, you remove any incentive for the website to exist because it gets no traffic. Then, once all the actual human-created websites have been driven away, where does ChatGPT get its information from? It's...

And mine is an illustration of a use case where AI output is being called "consumer-level" (by you) when it is, in fact, slop.

Excellent question. Who do we 'blame'? Well, the tool, as folks endlessly point out, has no consciousness. But people -- 1. Train the tools on stolen material. 2. Choose to use them despite their environmental effects. 3. Rely on them despite their unreliability. So yes, you blame the person...

How does that thread prove that the 'novels' on Amazon are not slop? "Consumer-level" is your words, not mine. The slop I am trying to tell you about is not "consumer-level", as you'd realise if you looked at it. Or don't look at it. But then don't waste your time and mine challenging my...

I love Free League’s cloth maps of Middle Earth… and now so do my walls!

Look at it. Don't defend it and insist it's not slop without even looking at it. Just... look at it. Then tell me it's not slop. Don't insist it's not slop, don't invent my "stringent standards", don't describe it as "consumer level" or "average-quality", don't call me "elitist" when you...

I challenge you -- go and look at the many slop AI-generated 'companion' books on Amazon which instantly come out along with every bestseller. They're absolute crud. AI cannot write books. Clearly your assertion that nobody would use it in that context is false. People do use it. So I stand...

Because you keep defending AI? The "why" is something only you can answer.

Nah, just use both at the same time! We could then have a feat called the Inefficient Tactician with pre-requisites that you have access to both!

Sure. I was being silly. But technically it's doable!
