[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9885193, member: 725"] A couple of things, if I make something for making something myself, I'll make it myself. Most people's life work is something personal, that they will make themselves, with no participation of others (including AI). Harshness will now ensue: But just because it's your life's work, does not mean it's good or something others will want. Chances are good that you will never sell a copy of your life's work with or without AI. But that's imho allright, as you're making it for yourself in the first place. That said, when you start making things to sell, for others, you need to take into consideration other factors, people, processes, and efficiency. Example: There are times when you're too tired and lack time, you go for instant meals, be that microwave/oven meals, instant noodles, or some fast food. Your only concerns are generally time, price, and whether it'll make you sick or not. Other times you'll take the time to make a very good meal, healthy, almost completely self made, and tasty. While other times you'll go out eating to a proper restaurant, where you don't actually check how the chef is making your meal... As long as the meal was awesome and the setting was great, you'll be happy, with no $&*% given about how they achieved that. I see AI usage in the same light. DMing a D&D campaign is NOT my lives work. Neither is it for the people playing in that campaign. We already use the rules and often even adventures/campaigns made by others. What makes the pnp RPG experience lives between those 'walls' (or framework). And where you spend your time as a DM depends on what you want to run and how much time you have... Sometimes AI usage is great, sometimes it's not wanted. But please leave that up to the individual to decide when and where they use it or not, and respect the people's decisions even if you don't agree with it. I'll just add the '/sarcams' myself. Courts are bound by laws, location, culture, and time, all of those change. So what one court says in one location, another court will say something else in another location due to the passage of time, different cultures and laws. And even laws change and especially how to interpret them. I would argue that AI is being used in a LOT of places/situations where you don't expect them to be used at all, especially traditionally.
