I think the title says it all. As you can probably guess by the fact that I'm asking the question, I think the answer is "Yes". It's probably not as vitrolic of a topic as things like the OGL or Damage On A Miss were, but it's been a steadily invasive issue for awhile now.
There are a lot of AI threads. There are multiple threads on AI in multiple forums. It is a very divisive and polarizing topic. And frankly, it's not specifically an RPG issue. It's a topic of discussion that encompasses all art/writing/content/marketing/etc, that evokes people to talk about ethics, economics, and their complete worldview of the progress of technology. In many cases, a discussion of AI butts right up against a discussion of politics. And that's a big part of why it needs some moderation. A topic that isn't even tantgentially related to AI can be completely hijacked by rants about inflation or unions the minute someone even mentions AI.
IMNSHO, putting AI threads in the "Publishing Business & Licensing" forum would be appropriate. At the end of the day, it really is a discussion about business (and the associated ethical and economical issues), very similar to the OGL discussions that were corralled there. Any thoughts or discussion about the best way to contain the topic of AI would be appreciated.
