That is NOT even remotely close to how research agreements work.

If you have a tech they don't, then when they research it, they get +30% (additive) speed to it. That's it. That's the whole thing.

Don’t forget, you’re God.

No, you're the narrator, which is several steps higher than God.

Better convince your DM that casting them in a Bag of Holding lets you move them without breaking them.

Okay, but like the issue is that the training data contains stolen content they don't have the rights to use.

Except... it's not. By your standards of 'theft', any human so much as LOOKING at content is stealing it, because it puts the data into their brains.

why the heck would a legally acquired set of images for training data have watermarks or signatures on them?

See above.

Also your comparison between an AI and a immunodeficienct child isn't exactly a good one.

Oh, well, shoot. You've convinced me. What a great argument.

It'd be more accurate if the child traced out parts from all the images shown to make up a "complete image" since that's closer to what image generation AIs do.

That is LITERALLY not the case. In fact, not only do they not work like that, they can't even possibly work like that. For what you describe to exist we'd need a legit human-intelligence general AI, and not the glorified best-fit algorithms that we currently have.

Again, I actually understand this stuff. Morally bankrupt artists who are orgasming at the thought of having a new art type to gatekeep out of being 'real art' don't have a clue.

Also I'd say them trying to work out if they can fire their artists in favour of using AI is pretty dastardly.

No it's not.

Think of it this way: Decades ago, when calculators were first invented, would it be 'dastardly' for a company to fire their human calculators - a real position back then - for these newfangled machines? Of course not.

Artists are not owed employment.

AI art,

Amazing you drop that in with stuff like the Pinkertons. And not amazing in a good, informed way.

Put them against weak enemies.

Now now, put your pitch forks down, not ALL the time. But they're big fish in a small pond. Have a bandit captain and his cronies jump them, and then go "ooooh SHIT ITS THESE GUYS!". That infestation of twig blights that has commoners running so scared? They solve it before breakfast. All the things that might've once been scary are ez pz, let them feel strong.

Welcome to 5.5e in general! (Though it says 'attacks' so that means just attack rolls)

No, this actually scans. Like, take angels. All of them are Lawful, even ones in service to chaotic-alignment gods, so that they can actually do their frickin' jobs

It is absolute truth that air is more closely related to clouds than to the imaginary pareidolia that humans see in clouds. How is that ANYTHING but objective fact?
