Roleplay-non-con is a pretty popular kink, for one.
Beyond that, historically, this is how censorship starts. Vaguely reasonable at first, and then cutting down more and more, until all porn is forbidden and also two men kissing is immoral and unsafe and therefore forbidden... It's not great.

Cinematographer cannot record their art anymore. There's a lot more to it than pressing "record" on a camera - they can still compose a scene, can't they?

The point, I think, is much rather "no matter which tools an artist uses, they retain their skills when these tools are removed" - which, yes, applies most clearly to drawing/writing, but musicians can employ a sense for rhythm without a guitar. GenAI has no skillset connected to the product.

Oh! I misunderstood the very premise of this, then.
Thanks for the explanation, this makes a lot more sense than it did a minute ago!

Not yet, though I've been meaning to
For now, just trying to satisfy my curiosity.
I'm struggling to understand the connection from an outside perspective.
If it means you have to dedicate a footnote to it if you want to use it, I'd assume there's more to it than mention/use of it in the books.

I know there's a "don't give advice" - but this is more of a question. I can't see anything connected to Discworld in connection to the Pinchbeck-Alloy - which, as far as I can tell, was coined by Christopher Pinchbeck, who was just a clockmaker in London.

The one thing gen-AI still does pretty consistently, as far as I can tell, is lose lines. You follow a handful of lines in the image, most of them will just... distort, disappear, or blend into something else pretty quickly, in a way that clearly makes no sense.

It was an April Fools joke, and very clearly not actually AI. Maybe not the best joke, but nothing more than that.

There is no nazi imagery or sentiments I could see anywhere in Ironlily's art. Let's be careful with throwing that one around. Not liking the art style/content is fine, that implication is something else.
