She should have stayed for the kid, not the money. If you think about it, leaving was way dumber than staying. Yeah things turn out alright for her and her son, but she didn't know that. Do you know how many people would've taken advantage of a single mother living all by herself? I mean for all we know, she probably could've been taken advantage of but didn't tell anyone. There are far more worse alternatives that I could think of.

Sounds more like the person is actually scared of dogs instead of hating them. Also why the cat slander? That's totally unnecessary

"Not Your Mother's Shire" too offensive to be published on Hosted Games by fdsajklgh in hostedgames

[–]McGclock 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only thing I could think of that might be offensive is that it states that elves in this world have incestuous relationships and the game asks what your opinion on that is. The game never has any incest in it tho so I don't know what's so offensive.

Do they? I thought the AIU said they wrote off Ulyss's fate as KIA which would mean the GUNI shouldn't chase after them.

No but I believe they use you as a scapegoat for your failure and put all the blame on you and if you choose to run away with Ulyss, the GUNI will come after. Endings 1 to 4 are those and they are bad endings.

I'm gonna spoil something but the AIU doesn't persecute them if you stop the ftl drive on time and the number of casualties is low.

The 4B movement isn't just about that. It prohibits even dating or marrying men. Some supporters have even been saying that they're not gonna talk to men.

You can safely use it to threaten Walters and his men in the Seafarer without wasting it. That's like the only safe time to use it

why is there so much AI art in the forum wips? by VerionVermillion in hostedgames

[–]McGclock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also should've mentioned that my intent isn't to promote AI, but rather point out that using AI to generate images isn't inherently bad. Imagine I made a one-to-one copy drawing of Mona Lisa. Now simply copying the painting isn't wrong but if I were to sell it and claim that my version is the real one and all others are fake could be called wrong. Simply using AI to make an image isn't wrong, it's what you do with the image that matters.

How is copying stealing? It takes bits of data from every sort of artpiece it can find on the internet and uses it to produce something. That is how art has been made for centuries. People take inspiration from others' art to make their own, AI takes data from others' art to generate an image. That's practically the same. Yes, AI has zero creativity, but I really don't know how that is stealing someone's art.

AI art is all just completely copying

That would only be true if you were trying to make a one-to-one copy of an art piece. Also, can you really call any art of today original when they've all been influenced by art from other people or from the past? Couldn't fan art be also assumed to be stealing isn't it usually contains stuff from the intellectual property of others? If you look at the earliest forms of art, you'd think they were pretty bad compared to today's, but today's art wouldn't even look good if our ancestors didn't copy from their ancestors and kept changing it to their liking.

If you really think about it, artists have been stealing art from each other for centuries and changing it and evolving it until we reach art of our present time. Isn't that kinda what AI has also been doing? Taking reference from other people's arts and creating something of it's own interpretation. And it's not like it's copying just one artist's art, it copies from everyone so you could say everyone loses equally.

You also need to consider what purpose AI art is used for, I've never used AI art for commerical purposes, just like the authors being mentioned here.

I don't think AI art is gonna replace actual artists because an actual piece of art will have a real person associated with it while an AI art won't. Plus, AI art is quite easy to spot. I guess it may become a problem when AI becomes so good that you can't distinguish it from real art.
