D&D General Allegations of AI Usage Cause unnecessary Controversy

[Morrus]

Which is somehow ironic, as the main criticisms of AI are that they are only plagiarizing real artists and that this is literally putting no effort in at all by the creator...

It will get worse. Give it a year and you'll see lots of fully AI-created videos on YouTube algorithmically designed to get clicks.

I think I remember reading something about content creators that use bots to view, upvote, subscribe, and comment on their own videos, too. They upload a new video, then activate the bot, and ten minutes later they have a thousand views and a page full of comments.

Imagine that, but the video is made by a bot, too.

Now someone just needs to invent bots to be influenced by advertisements and make unplanned purchases, and YouTube won't need any humans in the loop at all.

Sounds good! Let the AI market to itself and we humans can go about our own business.

Speaking as an AI, this entire thread is very hurtful.

This is one of the really annoying things- in the back of my head now I constantly think "is this AI?"
That, and searching for art for my online games, I need to sift through all the obvious AI crap that shows up in my google image results.

Not comfortable with just picking out art you like for your own table?

What do you mean? I'm saying that picking out art for tokens etc is made more difficult because of all the AI chaff that show up in results nowadays.

Ok. I thought you were checking if something was AI before you decided to use it for your home game, whether or not you actually liked the piece. If the AI stuff you're seeing is all garbage anyway, then nevermind. My mistake.

There's already tons of AI videos with just made up stories about celebrities dying, or natural disasters destroying a city, etc, although I assume there's at least a human behind it to edit it together. But the scripts and voice are definitely AI, I ran into some a while ago, a few had hundreds of thousands of views.
