Traveller, TAS, and AI

[Condottiere]

I think one major difference between stock photography, which can easily be licensed, and artificially recreated pictures, is that the former is static, and any legal issues reside with the licensor.

Whereas, the ones recreated by artificial intelligence programmes are somewhat dynamic, and could be hard to pin down if any copyright entails.

If it is your creativity, then why are you arguing with me over someone else's policy?
If it is a computer doing your creativity for you, then selling it is the Participation Trophy mentality.
I don't sell my stuff because I don't consider it professional enough to sell. When I have sold art, it was because people came to me and asked.
That doesn't mean I don't put my ideas out there.

I don't sell product, I have not even tried to publish anything that I have created. it is for personal use. I don't have or use AI art or writing. I am looking at submitting articles for inclusion in the Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society, just struggling with the writing of it.

My argument is with the notion that because I lack the skills to express my ideas that makes me any less creative in my thoughts.

Copyright is something you want to be on firm ground for. Look at the lawsuits decades later aimed at Men At Work and Led Zepellin.

Well then, why are you arguing with me about that?
I said, if you didn't make it or license it, don't sell it.
You say you don't sell it, and are thus in the same boat as I am. Not publishing and not running afoul of Mongoose' AI policy.
I always aspired to be a fiction writer. As a fiction writer, I'm pretty good at writing policy manuals.

If you got something else out of my post than that, then you need to go back and reread it for comprehension.

I think of the process to create something (let's use a Traveller supplement as this example because... it makes sense) like a foot race. There are some people who can run the whole thing themselves. (Come up with the idea, write it out, create the images, etc.) There are some people who can only run part of it and therefore would need to make it a relay of partners (or commissioned contributors) to get across the finish line.

Right now, we just don't want anybody to be allowed to hop on a motorcycle at any point. Even if "they just used it as a tool" it's against the spirit and, ultimately, the race organizers (Mongoose) can choose to allow it or not. Regardless of whether the crowd seems to be enjoying the spectacle of a motorcycle.

It's more stealing someone else's car than hopping on a motorcycle, but apart from that I agree completely. and I think judging by these two forum threads most people DON'T enjoy the spectacle
