Because I acknowledged what you said?

I remember!

I know.

Well, there's one upside: you have at least convinced me that that thread was just a repository of AI slop, and not an informative discussion thread of the capabilities of AI. So, on reflection, I think we won't be allowing that thread to reopen. Thanks! With this, and trappedslider brazenly...

Yeah, I was mainly talking about the art. That's another conversation, and is not necessarily has strong a position as you might think. Suffice it to say, it has not been tested in court for a very long time, and current mechanics are much more complex than those the precedent was based on...

This is an increasing problem, and it overlaps with the right to know what you are buying. When buying something--whether that's food, medicine, a car, a book, or whatever--there should be full transparency what you're paying for. If I buy a Porsche and somebody has put a Ford Mondeo engine in...

An artist or writer only has one thing--the copyright to the product of their labour. The literal right to copy and distribute it. When you take that one thing away from them, the control over their intellectual property, and just give it to other people for free, you have taken away the one...

That's not what stock art means. Most stock art (or video, or audio), you purchase off sites like Shutterstock, etc. Many newspapers or online news outlets, or even TV studios, use stock art in this way--an image of a type of aircraft, or an aerial drone shot of a town, or whatever. And many...

I assure you that nobody recorded them off the TV in the 1960s. All these lost episodes predate VCRs. They're usually film reels, physically sent to partner broadcasters overseas, then forgotten about in a basement, not videocassettes. Once VCRs came in, there's suddenly no lost episodes, for...

You thought right! Well done! 10 points to you! :)

It's not when you buy it. The previews have watermarks so you don't just download the preview instead of buying it.

When you buy stock art it comes with a license. The 'rules' are whatever is in that license. That tells you what you are or are not licensed to do with the art. You should check the license before purchasing stock art, but most are fine with you modifying it.

Then you think incorrectly. And man am I bored of that conversation. So, so bored. It’s boring. How many times do we have to have it? Can we just assume for the record that every time somebody trots that one out yet again that I have an AI bot programmed to say “naaaaah, what humans do and what...

This thread has become so long and filled with so many big attachments that the server times out when I try to move it to the new AI Echo Cave forum. So I’m going to close this. For now you can restart it in the AI Echo Cave —- BUT, this thread has become less a discussion of AI and more just a...

Describing what you want and making what you want are not the same thing. I think it’s pure arrogance to describe something to a machine which then plagiarises artists to display the thing you described and then claim you created it. It’s like ordering something at a restaurant and then claiming...

But…. they’re not the same. It’s not an argument, it’s a plain statement of fact. What an LLM does is not remotely the same process as what a human does.

This subforum, the AI Echo Cave, is where threads ABOUT the subject of AI and LLMs (Large Language Models) go. It's here because--like the topic of 'damage on a miss' many years ago--multiple near identical threads are threatening to overwhelm the forum, and the volume is only increasing...

Whether you would call ENP a small creator or not is irrelevant—it is. And I don’t know what 2021 has to do with anything. We’ve been here for 27 years. 24 of those years there was no such thing as LLM platforms.

Have you heard of the “d20 glut”? I assure you that in the early 2000s there was an avalanche of third party creators using the d20 system to write products for D&D. Look up the d20 glut and the subsequent crash. Then come back. Basically, you’re lecturing people about a topic about which you...

Thanks for the unsolicited business advice, but I didn’t ask.
