[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9076789, member: 467"] I think this stuff is really interesting to think about in a considered and open minded way. it is easy to say that the current generative AI is bad because of the way it was created and what it means for workers and artists (SAG/AFTRA is striking for a reason). But those things aren't the whole of it. Let's take a not too speculative possibility and think about the ethics of it. Since this is a RPG/D&D site, we'll start there. Mindi is a freelance RPG designer and writer. She has written a couple million words of RPG adventures, settings and other materials -- all work for hire. She decides to purchase her own generative model and train it on her own writing along with all the OGL content that she can find. Let's assume that she is very careful and only actual OPEN content ends up in the mix. Mindi then starts generating a line of setting and adventure material using her self trained AI. She develops the prompts and tweaks the results, but the vast majority of the words that make it into the published books are generated by the AI. Is Mindi doing something wrong? Is she "creating" this work? Should she be banned from selling it? How does the fact that she does not own the cpyright to her own words she used to train the AI figure in, if at all? [/QUOTE]
