Grog accidentally does something that makes them chosen mid-swing and the thing slides off like a catapult, knocking out several enemies and causing plenty of property damage.

Oh for sure, but let’s say I’m running the model locally using my GPU instead of, say, using it to play a game using that GPU. It’s all technically wasteful, but by that standard everything we use our computers for are wasteful. I’m not even sure if running it locally counts for usage statistics, either, although I suppose download counts could.

Granted, I don’t like the wasteful use of AI models (especially unsolicited bullshit from copilot) and I certainly don’t like the use of stolen material for corporate gain, but I’ve never been against individuals using pirated software, music, video, etc, for personal usage even before AI.

Don’t have an argument against it normalizing the behavior, though. I’d like to believe there’s an ethical way to adopt new technology without screwing some people over, but that’s probably not possible under capitalism.

Plus it’s not like it’s commercial usage, nor would you have hired artists to illustrate all your characters for a session like that. It’s one of the few ethical usages of AI, imo.

Reminds me that AI can be used for OG Baulders Gate / Icewind Dale style character portraits. Stable Diffusion literally has a Lora for it, iirc.

When I think “AI will end humanity” I was thinking a sort of Skynet type deal, not… this. Sigh.

If all players cancel except GM, then does the GM continue the game and shit talk to themselves about the players all night?

Was it DSM I or II that had PMS as a psychosis? I like to think of Cthulhu giving a player irritability and cramps.

Idk, I’ve tried a few but still like Boost; just can’t get into Jerboa or Liftoff, which I tried. It’s mostly just their ad network being meh — though I mostly just get crappy fake gameplay ads, and not enough to bother me. I’m not even sure if they’re targeting me, cause if they are, they’re pretty bad at it.

Unfortunately I’m sure the app developer doesn’t get much say, virtually all mobile app networks are cancer.

I feel like without the usual bad hands tell, it’s pretty impossible to tell. There’s a few other “tells” but your image selection is particularly avoident. Having generated plenty of images, cherry picking the best is par for the course.

Although, a bad ai sample is pretty easy to tell at least. Even up against a bad human artist, a person with 8 fingers is easy ai giveaway. And for every one good image we get from SD at least, I toss out a few dozen.
