D&D General AI Art for D&D: Experiments

It won't take 20 years, and it won't be limited to art or music.

"Chat, give me a 100 episode fantasy series about dragons and zombies, starring my favorite actors. Make sure there is lots of violence but no sex, and I want all the mains to be white."

That's 5 years away and a travesty.
We have already seen music charts in two genres topped by AI songs (Country snd Contemporary Christian Music).

People always post this comment and it's one of the dumbest comments I've read because it paints it like an either/or scenario when we can have both.

And it relies on the fallacy that her ability to do art was somehow removed by the existence of generative AI. I am pretty convinced that she can still pick up a pencil and draw. A nice way to see this comment is a lament that robots are improving at a slower pace than software, and we till lack AI drone able to identify used clothes, pick them up and put them in the washing machine. It would be a welcome development, too, but I am not certain it would be cost-efficient enough to become a popular household appliance.

Edit: And, to stay on topic,

D&D spell illustration challenge: contrary to popular belief, Feather Fall doesn't protect from falling damage. It negates a fall of up to 20m, with a 21m drop causing full damage. Adventurers are certainly incuring a tremendous acceleration on that last few centimers.

Edit2 : a 61 ft fall would result in 60ft of leisurely fall, then over the course of 1ft, a 20g acceleration (potentially lethal by itself) followed by the shock with the ground. Magic is tough.

It seems AI is more successful when the genre itself employs a highly conservative format, like country music does and like Shakespearean sonnets do. When country music is too innovative, it recategorizes as pop music and ceases to be country. So the AI has a clearer pattern of country to reproduce.

It would have had a totally different energy if she'd said something like "I don't want it to do my art or writing, but I can't wait until it can do my laundry and dishes" i think with dishwashers and washing machine/dryers that we're already pretty efficient in that regard until we get robots running around helping us, that might be a while. Like you, I'm also thinking that would be incredibly costly for a long time. But, kind of like TVs if that tech takes off it'll come down, though maybe too late for me to really make use of it.

I think the main problem would be to find enough people to be interested in the first place for the prototype to hit the market, but hotels and hospitals might be interested for their bedsheet management.

It is also strange that this sentence is used (sometimes, not necessarily here) as an illustration to complain not about the ability to make art, but the ability to sell images, and it sounds entitled in that context. I feel it essentially as "AI shouldn't compete with my job, but it's all OK if it removes my housemaid's job". I much prefer everyone's need to work to be lessened equally, so they can concentrate on doing art (or laundry) on their free time if they want.
