[QUOTE="daydreamengine, post: 9880922, member: 7056714"] Costs? That's a page for a Solo Expansion I'm doing. AI-Generated. It costs me [B]Nothing. [/B] Neither do any of the other pages. I do not have to negotiate with artists I've never wanted to work with, I do not need to collaborate unless I want to, I do not need to hire three different copyeditors, I do not need to deal with artist [I]ego [/I]or their often-lack of reliability (never worked with one that could meet a deadline, and Fiverr is well-known for its scammers)...there are a lot of things I no longer have to concern myself with in terms of producing my TTRPG. That makes the experience so, so much more rewarding, and the time of production is halved. Can you understand why AI hasn't gone away yet, not even in the TTRPG where it's not always welcome? We love making [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]stuff[/COLOR] in this space as much as anyone else, but AI is a tool and nothing more--it cuts out the drama, the resource expenditures, and the middle-men. So at a certain point, we're willing to face the backlash. But the overhead is so low that it's impossible to [B]lose [/B]money, even if thousands of people who don't like AI opt out of buying. [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Mod Note: language [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
