[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 9076910, member: 5948"] Yeah, it's an observation that I've seen before, that all the promises of high tech in the workplace talked about how machines would do the menial work and leave human beings to do fulfilling art and creativity, not the other way around. As for the DMsGuild/DTRPG policy change - I suspect that it's at least in part intended to help ward off or minimise the impact of any legal complications down the line. Requiring creators who use procedurally generated art to flag it as such gives the platforms a nice easy way to delete products that use said art en masse should it become legally necessary down the track. In the long run, yeah, I expect bot-assistance will become part of pretty much every artist's toolkit. But artists and writers are entirely right to be concerned about it in the here and now. That sort of disruptive tech is only beneficial to the user if the economic model and legal regulation it operates under is robust. I don't think that's the case at present. I don't want to see human artists get Ubered out of their professions by a bunch of silicon valley spivs who decided to 'move fast and break things' without considering that when they say 'things', they mean 'people'.
