Yeah, that’s not at all what the person you were arguing with said. It sounds like you went there to troll and got the reaction you deserved.

I took the time to look through the rest of your comments and, holy shit you suck. Just days ago you were condescending and patronizing gay people for being impatient in gaining equality. I think the best advice I’ve seen on lemmy is to block you.

I just went and read that exchange, and the person who blocked you never said what you claimed.

You went to an article about someone who stabbed a child 26 times after killing his mother and told people to be more understanding of republicans and not blame them for all the hatred they promote. You’re suprised people got mad at you?

I played with a DM who only used them in elvish cities, no one else would trade in them. That is now in my world too.

Smug elves and their special currency.

But that’s not what the article or the discussion was about, is it?

It also doesn’t really matter who builds it, how it learns is still the primary concern.

I’m pretty sure about it. No one who suggested that deserves to be taken seriously. But intellectual property theft is a legitimate concern and comparing them as equal concerns is disingenuous.

Lots of people produce content and make a living off of 5e, and not just 3rd party producers, plenty of people use patreon as a means to distributetheir work. Will the ai be trained exclusively on WOTC playtesting or will it be able to scour the internet for plot hooks and npcs and loot and whatever else it needs? It’s inevitable, and well known that some of that content has been reposted and copied in various places across the internet. The damages they suffer from user piracy wouldn’t be comparable to an ai running multiple games on an online platform owned by the ‘world’s most popular rpg’ not to mention that they would be charging for at least a onednd or dnd beyond or whatever they’re calling it this week, subscription.

It’s not as simple as “oh cool, more people could play”. It’s just their next attempt at eliminating the third party market.

You realize that no one complained that ai art would discourage people from drawing, right? It’s because the ai scans other artists works and designs an imitation based on its prompt. It’s stops artists from being able to profit from their work because it introduces a free alternative that stole their designs to learn.

I think the bigger concern than whether or not it’s good will be what it learned from.

I kind of expect them to fick it up so bad they sell it off and hopefully someone better acquires it then. But I doubt I’ll learn any edition past 5th. What I have right now does everything I need it to when I run a fantasy adventure

But in typical fashion, hasbro understands nothing about d&d and will probably almost destroy their property, again.

I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Thanks man

Where do I fall if I kill them all, turn then into vampires and send them on a quest to uncurse themselves before they level and become vampires forever?

5e ended with xanathar’s guide for me. Everything I’ve found that i wanted after that was 3rd party creators on kickstarter. Hasbro just doesn’t understand the game well enough to produce its content

I mean they’ll still be relevant because we can still run 5e all tou want, but after the OGL debacle do you really believe them when they say they’ll work with the new addition?

I had a guy try to justify the latter type of account as “I’m just not very active on reddit”. My man, you made one post, commented on one other post a few weeks later, then complete radio silence for 9 years, just to pop up spreading anti-trans propaganda on post after post?
