Pretty much this^ right off the bat. Though, if you don't have anything else (and specially if you're a noob), I'd probably still include the DMG regardless, cuz it still covers some essential rules stuff not found in the PHB, such as how guidelines for handing out XP, building and determining...

Same username and profile pic, plus context (quit/was driven out of the Site over politics; is mentioning politics here). Edit/PS: Also, his posting time here is from before I saw the post and sent the PM over there. So he must have been here before that. Didn't notice his posts here till a few...

Saw you quit the other site. Sent a PM to recommend this place, but didn't know you were already here. Welcome to the Pub!

Hoping it remains this way. I don't think that straight AI art should be copyrightable, but something modified by a human (specially something derived from that human's original art) should be. This is what I see as the best/practical use of AI art generators: as aids that artists can use to...

I can't think of any objections to this.

Artists don't ask for consent when they look at troves of materials for inspiration when developing their skills either. They just look them up on the internet, or on art books, comic books, magazines, etc., then work with what they find to sharpen their skills and produce work inspired by other...

Not sure how any of that is the case or what sort of comparison you'd find acceptable. My analogy is apt and accurate in illustrating how technology is not culpable for how users choose to operate it. If someone uses a permanent marker vandalize someone else's (or public) property that doesn't...

I already addressed the stuff about artist signatures in my prior reply to you. AI does not copy existing artist signatures, it imitates their use because signatures exist in most works, so the AI "assumes" that such scribbles are typical art element. But that's all that "artist signatures" in...

I'm not shifting the blame, I'm assigning it where it belongs. If someone uses a car to purposefully run over someone that does not prove that people are being murdered by the mere existence of cars. That means that someone used a car to murder someone. Tools are not responsible for the way that...

That's a different type of scenario from what I was talking about in my post. This is not an example of AI itself, or AI companies, exploiting artists, but of a USER maliciously trying to steal credit from someone else's work by using AI to facilitate that attempt. But the AI didn't go out on...

This does not happen semi-regularly, and is an edge case that has been debunked already. In the instances that it happens AI simply imitates the idea of an artist's signature, but does not copy an artist's actual signature itself. Random article about this...

This still fails to acknowledge that this technology is not being used to copy an existing work. And that AI is capable of producing content is self evident fact. You can literally tell it create stills from movies that don't even exist and it does it, for example. How is that not demonstrable...

How is merely being "trained" (i.e. having the capability) to reproduce something the same thing as plagiarism? And is what a photocopy machine or camera does plagiarism, given that these devices can reproduce images, even if they're not literally in the device? How about a human trained to...

Mostly agree with this post, but the above snipped is problematic, given that art involving stuff very similar to this (such as collage, mix media art, and a bunch of stuff we can do with Photoshop or similar) already existed before AI art came into being. People can also do their own original...

I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say something as simplistic as "art is whatever the viewer considers to be art"—not only does that notion seem too subjective, but it's almost tautological. But by the same token, I also don't think that "not art" is whatever the viewer declares to not be art...

Holy crap! It looks like one of my highschool friends who got me into TTRPGs rolled up those scores. He also had a character who miraculously rolled a bunch of 18s and 17s.

Subscription models used to be an excuse to provide consistent updates and support for MMORPGs, which itself only became questionable over time, as most MMOs did not improve by much over years, and when they did, they'd charge you extra for an "expansion". Now they've become ubiquitous and an...

+10 to Dexterity (Stealth), as long as you don't move. And you lose your camo and have to make it again (1 min) if you move (just looked it up). Still, it's one of a long line of examples of stuff that gets arbitrarily gated to higher levels, just to give you something every level and spread...

Which makes me wonder to what extend Prof. DM's takes can truly be considered "shallow" or "cynical". Seems to me he tends to be right most of the time. Plus he's likeable enough (at least to plenty of people outside of critics in this board) and has good presentation, with good tips and takes...

Yeah, I think that stuff like Rep is not really a "stat" in the same way that people call D&D's six Ability Score stats, but more similar to how HP could also technically be considered a "stat". Ability Scores are more like "Attributes/Aptitudes/Core Class of Abilities", while stuff like HP...
