I'm certain artists will still call AI generated imagery art theft, 5 years from now.

Rolemaster / [RMU] Creating a Lightsaber with Treasure Law
« Last post by Thot on Today at 11:58:32 AM »
Yes, you read that right. It's not supposed a tech gadget, of course, but a magical item. A sword hilt that can be turned on by an attuned character (or whoever is holding it?) to create blade of solid light just as we know it. The exact optics may vary.

The base spell for this would obviously have to be researched (i.e., made up), but what existing spell list should this spell be added to? I cannot find any spell that would fit it at least remotely. Level of the spell may vary depending on damage.

I see it as a Constant enchantment, cast twice per day to make this thing able to be switched on and off. Standard rules apply, right?

This whole "hire humans!!" movement will die anyway. We might as well get the best results now rather than later.

Let's get these humans back to producing the good stuff... washing dishes, mining coal... none of this creative endeavours!  Leave that to the experts - the machines!

I will keep running my own campaigns, and writing my own books, but I am not mad enough to believe that any of that will be competitive to all the stuff machines are going to create.

But I insist on the machines also doing the dishes and cleaning my apartment. They will be much better at it than I ever want to be.

We will see how you view that in 5 years.

AI can't match natural intelligence.
Yet.

And that's only for activities where actual intelligence is required.

Creativity ? I'd agree, it will not be in the near future. But most people are not able to distinguish derivative works from originals when there are no obvious defects, so I would expect AI "art" to become almost ubiquitous in the next decade or so.

But it is mostly our collective fault - we are used to having things for cheap. And so, if they are not, we look to the ones who can sell us the stuff cheap (or give it for 'free'), and then we consume en masse until the next fad comes in. Intelligence is not required for being a consumer - why should it be required to produce ?

AI can have a myriad of useful applications that will help humanity. It can also have a myriad of lucrative ones that won't. You don't need intelligence to see where this leads, either.

Use it at your table for personal stuff (AI icons for characters in a game... sure).

You get better results with natural intelligence all the time.  :D

AI is handy if you can't afford an illustrator, and even then it's spotty.  Like blades through hands, for instance.  AI can't match natural intelligence.

I sometimes think it might be worth it to create my own AI art, and place it on the art that actually is in the book.

It's your purchased copy, nobody is stopping you.

 In the end it's up to ICE how they go about with their own products.

What is your best tip for making taverns more interesting in TTRPGs?

Check out at a date gone wrong in our new Rolemaster Actual Play episode: Twilight (E136) & Hero (E113) "Three's a crowd”
