Is the trick to just flood the internet with lots of videos with extra appendages on folks so AI doesn't know how many arms, fingers, or noses people are supposed to have?

Oh, the conspiracy theorists will love that!

AI is becoming so ubiquitous that it will soon be available to grognards to tell us that things really weren't that way, back in the olden days of D&D. (Damn. Am I a grognard?)

AI art is already doing that for us. It's our best defense against itself!

I will say that I really like that of the tells of AI art at the moment is that it usually fails to include a belly button when their should be one visible. Very appropriate error when depicting a person who was never born.

Having read over it, and looked over explanations on the math, I think I like what PF2 is doing, even if I must lament the loss of my profane/sacred/alchemical (even alchemical is lost?!)/ and so on/ bonus list

You either keep them down to a controlled set, or you encourage people to do bonus hunting. Trying to have it both ways crashed on the walls throughout the D&D3e and PF1e period repeatedly. And bonuses have slightly more weight in PF2e because of the way criticals and fumbles are handled.

On the one hand I’m glad more people aren’t familiar with the serenity prayer due to its most common context, on the other there’s clearly a lot of people who need to become familiar with the serenity prayer.

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Just a heads up…what other people think, do, read, find funny, find entertaining, write, publish, play, don’t play, enjoy, etc are 100% in the nearly infinitely long list of things you cannot change.

What devilry is this? Two people make unnatural noises at each other with their faces and one or both of them change their behavior?!

Yea. It’s called persuasion.

taking a 20th/21st-century lit class must be odd

Sorry, I know we're not supposed to comment on comments in this thread, but, WOW, that is probably the most cynical, disheartening thing I have ever read.

The notion that no matter what, you can never change people's minds, is a very, very sad thought.

A million years ago in a different life, we put Irving Welsh's Trainspotting on our department's Scottish Literature course; the students revolted because they found it revolting and it had to be pulled from the reading list and exam. Never mind that it's arguably the most important Scottish novel ever published...
