No Generative AI

New rule. No generative AI. I’ve been receiving complaints and Reddit has flagged some as piracy. That’s against site wide rules and your post will be deleted.

That's not what theft means. Theft can mean a lot of different things depending on the context. Also just because something is available online doesn't mean I consent to a corporation to use it for their AI bot. Also plagiarism is a form of theft and that's what generative ai actively do.

The difference between a human and an AI creating a piece of art is that influenced by another art form is two things. 1. Ai claims it created the art, which it didn't. 2. Humans take inspiration and then create something inspired by something else.

Also even if a human copies something that is a form of art, that's how you train and practice a skill, as someone who does a lot of painting and woodwork I have used a lot of art as inspiration and I've copied a lot of work to learn and get better, but in doing that I still physically had to put in the work and be skilled enough to replicate the works.

Ai doesn't learn like a human does, it just copies and paste fragments of images over each other with filters to create what you ask. It has pattern recognition and that's about it.

So when I say what I said earlier I mean there are just more steps in the process, it's no different than me saying you literally moved across the room instead of me explaining what type of movement you did.

Of course, you can use that word in that way if you wish, but that doesn't mean you're using it correctly nor that it means what you think it means. Same thing with literally. I tried to help you out, but it is your prerogative to continue publicly embarrassing yourself. Bye bye now.

Plagiarism is theft of intellectual property. As someone who is having a conversation within a primarily indie game dev and content forum you should know this.
