This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

Entrance to St Fillan’s cave, Pittenweem. A very satisfying visiting arrangement in that one has to collect the key from a local chocolate shop in order to gain entry. £2 plus free descriptive leaflet. If you also leave having purchased a bar of cardamom milk chocolate, that’s your own lookout.

it is not about sports. it has never been about sports. it is about banning trans people from public life entirely AT BEST, and at worst, forcing them into situations that will endanger their lives. this is why we don't play along with the "just asking questions" sports bullshit
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

No joke, blocking anyone who shares this kind of idea. With payment processors determining what art gets to be shared and the current administration's daily crimes against humanity, saying that the red flag was dumb women liking toxic romance is the same argument for censoring immoral art.

Oh man this thread is explaining a /lot/.
However because the humanities are largely done in plain language - a cutting edge work of history is entirely legible to a non-historian reader, even if they may not fully understand it - we've been dealing with the practitioners of 'vibe humanities' (in my case, 'vibe history') for a long time. 5/

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World
because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
