Well, you can add extra crits, but there's nothing to replace a regular blade with space magic. But give it constant Light spell of some kind to make it bright, add an extra Heat crit with Additional Crit III, and to ensure it is OP, Increased Size True.

You could even make it defend against ranged attacks by embedding Deflections; you'd probably want to make this a Constant effect.

That would work! However, it would be quite unwieldy. Suppose some Adept wanted to combine all that into one neat package: An Alchemical spell  (possibly on the weapons enchantment list) that has all these abilities. And for good measure, we also add the Multiform II spell's effect into that… what level should it have?

Regardless of anybody's opinion on AI content generation, it isn't going away. It is increasing, and it will do so at an accelerating rate. Short of a global cataclysm of some sort, we are stuck with it. Maybe we should change the conversation to how and where and when and by whom it should be used.

The "cataclysm" being lawmakers stating that AI content providers must pay royalties for every piece they use for training.

It won't happen. AI is too useful in certain domains to be bludgeoned into submission like that. The fundamental problem is not AI, it is data availability: 1) the internet where everything is available and 2) the users who think everything *should* be available for free (or as close to 'free' as personal data mining can pretend to be). And neither of those things will go away.

Or how stuck in your ways or closed minded you are.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm only showing you the fundamentals of how AI generators works(tried to, it didn't hit home). This is why I opted out of the AI image discussion above here, as you have failed to grasp the basics which makes this "discussion" a small waste of time.

I'll end my part in this AI discussion. You'll find enough publications online regarding AI image generation if you truly want to learn, I know as I've had a particular interest in the subject, ever since these generators first surfaced.

I understand how it works. Because I don't agree with you on aspects of it doesn't mean I need to 'learn' more. More likely it means you need to learn that your point of view isn't 'reality'.

This just proves how off track you are regarding the subject.

I wonder, how many people who wholeheartedly oppose AI art are aware of Sora, or sono.ai?
The world is changing, whether we like it or not. We might as well get better images from it.

What I have heard were fairly mediocre songs, which is largely my opinion of my AI 'art' at this point.  I'm sure it will get better with time, but until AI is capable of independent and creative thought it won't be better than talented artists.  (And I'm not at all thrilled with the idea of AI capable of independent thought).
