I want to talk for a second about Generative AI in ttrpg projects.

1st let’s start off with: gross and no. My personal philosophy is I am an artist myself and the moment I decide to hand that to something else to do for me, then I no longer should be in this business.

There are people using AI to do amazing things

And there’s a lot of lazy crappy things being done too

Some of the fervent proponents seem to be lazy folk TRYING to be lumped in w the cool.

“AI is the future, Luddite” he says as he makes a video of ScarJo with giant hooters

Yeah! I think I’ll put them in a cycle. Paid for a bit and then eventually they are free, like after a few months or something.

If nothing else it makes me put my butt in a chair and write

Trump says HBV is sexually transmitted only (nope) so why give it to a baby, and that we should wait until the kid is twelve

A goose chases a man named Donald screaming about the age of children he suggests should be vaccinated against sexually transmitted diseases

This Effin’ GM @thiseffingm.bsky.social · 17d

HBV is transmissible through fluid contact

There is not proof of a causal link between acetaminophen and autism

And Folinic Acid can treat symptoms of autism, not cure it, and it’s not a universal fix.
