Yeah, that’s not at all what the person you were arguing with said. It sounds like you went there to troll and got the reaction you deserved.

I took the time to look through the rest of your comments and, holy shit you suck. Just days ago you were condescending and patronizing gay people for being impatient in gaining equality. I think the best advice I’ve seen on lemmy is to block you.

I just went and read that exchange, and the person who blocked you never said what you claimed.

You went to an article about someone who stabbed a child 26 times after killing his mother and told people to be more understanding of republicans and not blame them for all the hatred they promote. You’re suprised people got mad at you?

But that’s not what the article or the discussion was about, is it?

It also doesn’t really matter who builds it, how it learns is still the primary concern.

I’m pretty sure about it. No one who suggested that deserves to be taken seriously. But intellectual property theft is a legitimate concern and comparing them as equal concerns is disingenuous.

Lots of people produce content and make a living off of 5e, and not just 3rd party producers, plenty of people use patreon as a means to distributetheir work. Will the ai be trained exclusively on WOTC playtesting or will it be able to scour the internet for plot hooks and npcs and loot and whatever else it needs? It’s inevitable, and well known that some of that content has been reposted and copied in various places across the internet. The damages they suffer from user piracy wouldn’t be comparable to an ai running multiple games on an online platform owned by the ‘world’s most popular rpg’ not to mention that they would be charging for at least a onednd or dnd beyond or whatever they’re calling it this week, subscription.

It’s not as simple as “oh cool, more people could play”. It’s just their next attempt at eliminating the third party market.

You realize that no one complained that ai art would discourage people from drawing, right? It’s because the ai scans other artists works and designs an imitation based on its prompt. It’s stops artists from being able to profit from their work because it introduces a free alternative that stole their designs to learn.

I think the bigger concern than whether or not it’s good will be what it learned from.

I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Thanks man

Yeah, but if you scale these questions down to regions/nations/cities it becomes very useful. Bookmarked these and I’ll pick 4 or 5 to answer about each region as I flesh them out

5e ended with xanathar’s guide for me. Everything I’ve found that i wanted after that was 3rd party creators on kickstarter. Hasbro just doesn’t understand the game well enough to produce its content

I mean they’ll still be relevant because we can still run 5e all tou want, but after the OGL debacle do you really believe them when they say they’ll work with the new addition?

I think this guy was just someone who’s defunct account had been hacked and used to troll. All of his comments from that day featured a ton of both sides arguments and misrepresented statistics, which to me looked like someone who was given talking points and tried to fix any conversation he could into conforming to them.

It was obviously propaganda, and I guess previously I would have thought someone who ran something ad large as reddit wouldn’t be so stupid and oblivious…but here I am on lemmy a few months later, so who knows. It’s now apparent that spez is that stupid.

I had a guy try to justify the latter type of account as “I’m just not very active on reddit”. My man, you made one post, commented on one other post a few weeks later, then complete radio silence for 9 years, just to pop up spreading anti-trans propaganda on post after post?

I’ve just been throwing breadcrumbs in front of my party for years now and taking them where ever they go. Its been so much more fun than just ‘telling my story’ for me. I would always have the start of a story I wanted to tell, but could never sort out the middle and the end, so I just let the players do it now and enjoy the show.
