As well as inaccurate or completely made up results they can also have some epic failures of comprehension.
Weirdest Google AI result I had was trying to research who lived in an old house in the 1920s and it told me 'nobody because it was built in the 17th century'.

Never played Skyrealms of Jorune or even seen a copy 'in the wild' but it certainly looked interesting from reviews.

Alas aside from being a criminal the judge applied no actual punishment of any kind. The America justice system cant be a true justice system while it has politically appointed judges and different legal standards depending on wealth and power.
Its a bad joke, and Americans should be ashamed of it.

Me too - plus my keyboard has a few letters that dont press well so sometimes they get missed and my post looks silly.

Its a pretty common one from what ive seen. No idea how representative it is though.

btw - this is my first real conversation on Bluesky. I struggle a bit with the character limit (though that might be a good thing, I can be too verbose) but I do want to thank you for showing me its perfectly possible to have a good discussion here!

Good example.
Ive seen a lot of people getting others to create free AI art for them on rpg FB communities that Im pretty sure they are reusing as if they did them btw. It might be the interior stuff is their AI stuff but the cover was done by someone else.

On the 'Luddite' thing, I do think its valid to have concerns about how tech gets used, and there are definitely issues with AI. I'm happy to experiment creatively with it, but there are issues around it.

Hmm... thats weird as if its AI one should be able to do all the interior work to the same standard and style as the cover. Thats one of its big advantages.

Scale of the accessibility of the AIs strikes me as a bigger issue for artists as its increasing low skilled competition, which is exactly what digital did and why fees stagnated.
What people use and how they got it in itself actually has zero practical effect for artists. Its how its used.

Which is fair enough. Though I must admit I would be curious to see what they did with Midjourney and if its any good (most isnt).

Thats pretty much most art though. Its how *traditional* and even more so many digital artists work - its all based on a foundation of other peoples unpaid for and uncredited work. Sometimes you will see artists mention their influences, but rarely see them mention their visual references.

I wouldn't pay for basic AI, nor would I charge for it. I would pay an experienced artist creating quality work to a brief using AI as a part of their process to speed things up, largely because typical freelance rates, especially for rpgs, are an unlivable bad joke.

Similar issue with art. Though add to that the way freelance art fees have pretty much been stagnant since the late 80s across most of the illustration field generally, not just with rpgs, and rpgs pay some of the worst rates.
