[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9076807, member: 11760"] That doesn't strike me as an issue, since it's essentially just her using generators of her own creation to generate the seed of her product. For the foreseeable future, Mindi would have to get involved to clean up the end result. A number of today's designers have been very open about using the Tome of Adventure Creation and Dread Thinganomicon to get the ball rolling for their own works, for instance. (Neither creates anything resembling a complete adventure, to be clear.) What I think people are concerned about isn't about Mindi creating works, but when Dave, who doesn't know Mindi and doesn't have her permission, takes her works to create Mindi-like products to compete with hers. And since it's computer generated and he's not going to sweat the quality, he produces one a day, while she can only do one a month, and quickly floods the market with competing products. There are a lot of Daves in the market right now. As far as I know, there are zero Mindis. And that's a big part of the problem. [/QUOTE]
