I think this rubric is a starting point sure but it misses the 2 key and honestly biggest negatives of GenAI/LLM
1) Is the project you're working worth the long lasting and devastating environmental effects of running the server?
2) Is the data you're model running only exist due to stolen work?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Have you ever developed a game mechanic that feels so elegant that you're afraid it's been done before, despite not having seen any other game do it?

Decided not to finish this illustration of a catfolk spell archer, but I do love the work on the magic bow. Inspired by the Magick Archer from Dragon's Dogma 2.

The #Pathfinder2e character idea is a Rogue Kitsune with the Thlipit Contestant archetype that grapples foes with their tail(s) and electrocutes or burns them with sneak attack foxfires. #ttrpg
Oh no, I have an idea for yet another kitsune build for #pathfinder2e
