We're heading for another mass extinction event, though I think it's already happened.

That is a bit like saying a lightsabre can fight a battle for you. It doesn't without a skilled swordsman.If AI can do art, it can also write our novels, then writers will no longer be able to make a living.
i can agree to a point but i think you also have to concider the other side. what would the world be like with me? i dont mean that as a bost, i saying its small time writers like me get pushed out of the market. i am not claiming im a great writer but how many people could asend to be great writers. and keep in mind ai is not boosting actual artwork. it looks and says let make it in the style of or mimics a style of art like wetbrush.Can you guys imagine a world where there are no Tolkiens, Lees (Chris, Stan, and others), Monets, Tupacs, or Heinleins? The world feels like a drearier place just thinking about it.
1999 really was the peak of human civilization. lolz
I can't wait for that. Will we get more detailed word on it anytime soon?It might be worth pointing out that the forthcoming Singularity campaign tackles these exact questions... albeit on a somewhat larger scale.
Going to be interesting to see what answers your Travellers come up with...
Remember the Kinunir!I will say this i find it strange that a game that has AIs in it refuses ai art lol.
Very soonI can't wait for that. Will we get more detailed word on it anytime soon?
Do you buy hand made cloths made from hand made threads woven into hand made cloth? Or mass produced on computer controlled looms?My view as a creator is that I will never knowingly use or pay for a product that uses generative AI for text or art. The AI was trained on stolen (in my opinion) work and is irrevocably tainted. If the choice is between there being a work with AI art or no work at all, I come down firmly on the no work side. As was said earlier, a community can turn on a product line that uses it and I think allowing it is a poor decision.
You’re welcome to your view. It doesn’t change mine. A tool created by stealing and processing the work of many, many people to then take away their livelihoods will never get my approval.Do you buy hand made cloths made from hand made threads woven into hand made cloth?

The powered (programmable) loom created quite an upset in the early days of the industrial revolution - see luddite

AI is a tool, without a person providing the imagination it achieves nothing.
Such as producing their own rpgs, adventures and supplements.Machine Learning models, LLMs, and other types of "AI" have value and have a place. They are very powerful tools. I do not think that anyone here is denying that. And like many inventions before them they will free up humans to pursue other endeavors.
I consider it ridiculous not to be able to see the similarity. The powered loom took away the livelihoods of craftsmen, much the same as the printing press did away with scribes.But comparing LLM generated Art to a cotton gin or a mechanical loom is ridiculous.
Yes it is, you are removing humans from the task at hand. Note that while computers automate business jobs you are about to see a lot of unemployment within the so called middle class. Zuckerberg has already stated he expects to see AI replace an awful lot of coding jobs this year,,,Having computers generate "Art" is in no way the same as automating an industrial (or business) process.
which I can not do since I lack the skill, so I can either pay someone to produce the art or use an AI to do it myself. The AI does not ask me if I want some artwork, I have to go to the AI and tell it what to do. My time is valuable.Art's purpose is self-expression and creativity,
Cloth making was a skilled craft, weaving patterns etc. was art. Replaced by a punchcard and mechanical loom. Note that a computer controlled loom still has to have a human decide on the design, just like AI art.the mechanical loom, cotton gin, or robots on a factory floor are about neither of those.
I provide the creativity, the AI is just a clever paint set.And "Art" generate by a computer with an algorithm cannot provide any self-expression or creativity.
Which is why a human and their creativity is needed, AI does not generate art but it can eventually reveal the imagination of the artist.These models lack any creativity to the point they are not even able to create a picture of a glass of wine that is completely full.
So there is no problem, the AI can't do anything without a human's creativity.Even I, with my complete lack of artistic skills can draw that, but the computer cannot because it completely lacks any creativity.
nothing on the release schedule so I am guessing it is the next kickstarter?Very soon![]()
