If you use an AI to generate generic stuff, you won't randomly produce the likeness of someone used in training. You need prompts with names or, in some rare cases, very-very specific prompts. AI model can't use the likeness of a specific person because to generate a picture... because it...

I think that illustrations that match the quality, style and genre of a story will be welcomed by most people, even those who prefer text to visuals. But it isn't what we usually see. It baffles me when a decently written story uses mismatched porn screenshots, random hentai images, bad...

Most people come here to read a story. And many, many of them are not that interested in lack of plotholes, consistency, originality, worldbuilding, character development, etc. They want something that fits their tastes\fetishes for... a relaxation session. Such people will switch to...

My claim? Perhaps I worded something in a crude way. Why would I say this absurdity? They both learn. I don't claim that they learn in the same way. I don't think it is very relevant. Neither I think that effects are very different. Only the scale of the effect is different. Just because the...

Distributing, adapting, displaying, performing are all forms of copying or partially copying. Sure, unlawfully displaying a copy is not exactly copying but it is close enough. Nothing in this list goes beyond the right to copy. For example, the list doesn't include analyze, disassemble, learn...

Of course, I express my own opinions, not some stone-cold morality facts. Let me explain my stance in detail on a practical example. My current AI project is to train a LORA (a small model that is attached to a larger) capable of drawing mermaids. It is a lengthy multistep process but what...

Why would method matter? The way how bows and nuclear bombs kill are also quite different but it is irrelevant in the discussion if murder is OK.

Artists often complain that someone "stole" their style, technique, ideas, etc - So no, it is wrong to say that artists are fine with human brains being trained on their work. They are fine with it only if the gained knowledge is not used to compete with them. Also, you picked one tiny part of...

Human brain is trained on other people's work, usually without their consent... I will die on a hill that if something is legal\moral to do with our own body, then it is legal\moral to do the same with an invented external tool and vice versa. I can't agree with this logic either. An...

You are describing all of the art here. It is a recombination of other people's work + adding some of your own life experience. Your brain needs to take input from somewhere to produce output. You don't create something from nothing, there is no creation only transmutation and recombination...

Aren't we drawing mostly for fun? Why outsource drawing to all those soulless photoshop brushes and tools? Pen and paper! Generative AIs are merely a new way to make art. It is no more soulless than any other tool. And like any tool, it can't replace creativity and effort, only supplement it...

But bigger memory alone doesn't fix things. When you start working with a larger context you get more repetitions and more hallucinations. This is why I don't think that the current LLM tech can go beyond very short stories. We need something far more advanced to write a novel

AI images is a growing problem. I do not care what kind of a tool someone uses for their artistic impression. But I can't tolerate laziness and lack of taste. If I see that someone did a 5-second "work" and didn't even bother to generate a few dozen of images and choose decent ones, why exactly...

If you are a new writer don't start with yet another fanfiction of a megapopular character or a "fresh" brother-fucks-sister masterpiece or ENP\mind control number billion. Few will read it. Why would they go for a barebones new story written by a novice instead of the same established story...

No one demands to have that in your story. It is perfectly fine to have "Character A and Character B were lovers since their first year in highschool." Just don't describe it in arousing detail.

It depends. Illustrations can add a lot to the story. What I hate is random porno gifs\photos of obliviously different women to illustrate a pose or a scene or an attire. If a story does that - I leave immediately.

So, the reason is not harems... It is just males killing competitors and getting... a HAREM? Harem is a situation when a male has (mostly) exlusive access to a group of females and passes his genes disproportionally comparing to weaker (or dead) males. In this spoils of war situation, captured...

And humans are still cooperative and form communities and groups. And we are not worse at that. You seem overly focused on that weird "alpha male" stuff. But, again, alpha male myth is not that different to, for example, the nobleman myth. Nobleman - A warrior, masculine and powerful, gets...

Ok, you didn't say that men didn't compete. You said that men competed less and\or in more productive ways. Also very unsound statement. Plain physical violence was far more common in the past. The whole feudal era was about gangs of alpha males (called noblemen back then) bashing each other...

Evolution is real. Evolutionary psychology is real. Reproduction is very important part of natural selection. So, many thing related to our sexual behavior are not social constructs but stuff wired in our minds at firmware level Note that wolves are barely sexually dimorphic which is typical...
