AI’s plagiarism laundering should absolutely be fought with zeal, but false accusations, ignorance of art techniques, misunderstanding the problem to the point of “computers bad,” it’s all gonna discredit and obfuscate the thing that should be fought.

Same goes for using “AI” as a casual insult.

Confusing what is and isn’t Derivative AI only serves the interests of the scumbags pushing it. They *want* confusion, it provides cover for their wholesale bootlegging.

If a thing’s not confirmed to be AI-poisoned yet, wait before grabbing a pitchfork. It never takes long to be exposed.

Also, Illusory Wall does great work generally, in the unlikely event you’re unaware. I can never get enough of Dark Souls design dissections, and IW’s work is really comprehensive but easily digestible.

Interested in the audio reading of (a preview of) "Who Hunts the Whale" which was mentioned; what episode # would it be ? Thanks so much!

Glad to hear that the publisher saga is over.

:O !! 🖤🖤🩶🖤🖤 LOL NICE

Honestly a lot to think about here. Even if I feel 100% appreciative of the work to provide this - It's so fxxking wild
