Hey dude, I would appreciate it if you could refrain from putting words in my mouth. What I said is simple: Folks have a choice with what to do with their time. Spend it wisely. I never placed any monetary "value" on art in my previous statement, as the emphasis of the post was on appreciating...

Just wanted to comment on something that just occurred to me. I've seen the same 2 or 3 folks making the same 2 or 3 statements for the past 2 or 3 years, and its getting pretty threadbare tired seeing the same things repeated ad nauseam. In that time (the last 2 or 3 years) you guys have...

Appreciate the update, but for those of us who have been following this closely, we have been waiting since Kyle Brink announced that wotc would release the 3.0/3.5 SRD into the CC, back in December of 2023. He said that there was no reason that it wouldn't be released in 2024. Over a year...

Well, it could be argued that the nanites are a cybernetic implant, as some of the different iterations of the character could control other machines by touch using these implanted nanites. I was more making reference to the "average Joe" archetype, as most cyborg-based characters are normal...

My first pick would be Blade for sure, made long before marvel films were cash cows (setting a different precedent), with a more serious tone. His earlier, and much less serious film is Death Machine I think (starring Brad Dourif from the 80's Dune & Child's Play), check it out if you get the...

Oh I am aware, thanks. I'm not trying to change minds, but I also don't like the idea of sitting by while folks are doing the "this is fine" act, while at the same time members of the forums are being subjected to harm. As it is, publishing becomes more of a grim prospect by the day. From...

My point is that there are already numerous lawsuits in motion ATM.

You have said this numerous times now, while still ignoring my question. I honestly don't think you have anything meaningful to add to the discussion at this point. At this point I am just going to assume that you are going to go on and on like a broken record. I have specifically asked you...

Thank you for your reply. I hear you man. This is really the crux of the issue.

I have specifically asked you what you have to say to fellow forum members who have had their work stolen without their permission and without any credit or compensation (which is clearly 100% unethical), and you have made every effort to avoid answering my simple question.

I am pretty sure this is just your way of avoiding the subject. I have had plenty of discussions here about the environmental effects without it getting political. This is verging into whataboutism. Since plenty of other things use up energy, then why should it matter what ai uses is what you...

So, in your opinion, the environmental impact is justified? I would like to hear why you think this is the case, as we are getting closer and closer to the point of no return for the environment, and environmental protections are being dismantled across the board. Thanks for proving my point...

Thank you for pointing that out, but do you care to respond to my last post points?

"They Lost" is nowhere to be seen in my previous posts. Not sure where you are getting that from... On the contrary, they already won in many ways. OpenAI just got a government contract for 500 billion if I remember correctly. They obviously have the upper hand, compared to all the artists...

100% Agree. I am not condemning any technologies, what I am opposed to is the unethical use of that technology which can cause harm to people (whether intentionally by bad actors, or indirectly by "hallucinating" false facts, such as the Gen-AI Mushroom book that can potentially become hazardous...

I get what you are trying to say, I do. I veered off of topic by mistake (and was reminded by Umbran), so I will try to get back on topic. Trying to get back on topic, I don't think that comparing (as Umbran stated) scientific fields (which are peer-reviewed and typically open-source) to the...

Yes, I am talking specifically about generative ai, NOT narrow ai or medical diagnostic technologies. Apologies I didn't intend to widen the scope of the conversation.

TLDR: Tell me you didn't read my last post without telling me you didn't read my last post that covers this already: Here you are posting more comparisons of human behavior to that of computers. Humans don't "rearrange data" like a computer, please stop making these comparisons as they not only...

Yep, I don't envy folks who are forced into this. But this still does not mean that every single piece of software will be incorporating it. It just means that at the big company level this kind of thing will be normalized. That does not mean that it has to be normalized everywhere though.

I understand, as I have gone through this myself (being upset about it) in past years. My personal perspective has changed somewhat, as now I don't try to change other peoples opinions, I simply try to keep things on course and steer away from misinformation (like the improper use of the term...
