Well, it's probably not, and we are already seeing a lot of AI-generated books being put on the market, especially places like Kindle Unlimited, for example.

They're not great. They can be more convincing than you might think. And I think that the problem is where the source is, because for something to be a really sophisticated autocomplete, it's got to be pulling the intelligence of what to use in that autocomplete from somewhere. Yeah.

And access to that source material that it is learning from is the crux of a lot of the ethical problems around AI. Because when he's talking about proprietary AI, that will be content that Hasbro and Wizards are loading into it that they have created so that it can take what they already have and suggest new things, new combinations of things off the back of that.

But if you're pulling from art that you don't have permission to pull from, if you're pulling from art that all of these other people have created and have not explicitly said, I am okay for that to be used in an AI context, then that is Essentially theft. And that is what a lot of people have problems with.

And there are a lot of people that are really angry at these AI companies for having been able to access their works of art because the ways that they were set up were not necessarily safeguarded against theft. Yeah.

make a quick buck, whatever they're trying to do with it. Or even, honestly, to tell a story in their D&D campaign, right? I wouldn't want something that I'd created to be used in that way. If I wanted it to be used in that way, I would make it available online to be used in that way.

So I think that's where the line is, and I think he's talking about straddling that line in a really interesting way, because it sounds like what they're doing internally is kind of on the acceptable side of that line, in my opinion. I've drawn this line for myself. But then the way he's talking about himself and other people he knows using it is kind of towing the other side of that line.

Yeah, I think the New York Times one is the one that I'm, I think a lot of people are most interested to see how it pans out because it's basically them saying, hey,

Yeah. Yeah. And it's a global issue as well, because if one court says this is what we think about it, it's up to other countries to follow suit on that. Otherwise, it means nothing. You know, you can just go online and find it somewhere else, use a VPN and connect to it another way. There's lots of ways around it. So it needs to be a more concerted effort.

But yeah, it's interesting to see a quote that's so transparently outlining both the way that they are using it and the way that their leader is thinking about using it.
