There is not yet any on TMP, however AI seems to take more & more place on the creativity front. Would it be suitable to create one?

… and yes, I'm aware there are already lots of boards on TMP. But this one wouldn't be superfluous IMO.

Yes, please. But don't let it cross-post. All the people telling me that AI is actually the Anti-Christ can stay there arguing with all the people telling me it's the Second Coming, and since I won't click on it as an area of interest, I will have one corner of the Internet free of the discussion.

No. Let try to not let it take over every aspect of life.

Only if's in The Lounge to keep it quarantined with no cross-posting allowed. More and more AI crap is creeping into FB miniatures groups.

Or perhaps just a technology board and utilizing to enhance gaming, miniatures, scenarios, etc -

More boards, lovely.

Absolutely not.
And if it comes to a vote I will resurrect all of my deceased sock puppets to vote against it. 💥😱🦖🙄

Only after you have a dremel board, and a hotwire foam cutter board, and a table hotwire foam cutter board, and an airbrush board, and a sables board, and a nylon brushes board, and an foxtail bristle board, and a straightedges board, scissors board, and a knives board, and a pliers board, and a nippers board, and a tin shears board, and dental tools for sculpting board, and a stamps board, and a hacksaw board, and a grommet punch board, and a plotter cutter board, and a …

AI is a tool. The boards should be sorted by wargaming focus, not the specific tools. If you use AI in your project, talk about it.

Honestly don't see the need. I lean to "build an isolated place for it and seal it off," but I just don't think that many people are using AI for any effective hobby purpose. Generating bad art and worse rules, maybe.

AI is a tool.

We do have a "Tools of the Hobby" board.

I chuckle every time.

I'm easily pleased.

I don't see that as a negative.

Hey!

I'm a tool and I resemble that remark!

i would not want one, but it is fine if lots of people or AI bots do.

My algorithm unfortunately plagues me with "stories" on YouTube written and narrated by AI.
Wargame rules are confusing enough without having them written by AI.

Since I'm apparently in a mood today to allocate blame, I blame this on the lack of human editors. One can see it all over Da Interwebs. It's so cheap to publish, nobody needs, wants, or can afford editors. Nothing out there anymore but cheap swill.

I agree.

Depends on context?

I'm talking about it in SciFi media, as per YouTube videos.

So there's:

Discussion of the real world happenings, business, infrastructure.

There's ai generated rules, figures, pictures, so on.

There's media about ai, like YouTube videos, films (terminator, ai…), Games like many cyberpunk ones that have ai characters or units.

So, perhaps more then one board is called for.

Otherwise, it gets put into the other boards.

Imagine if there wasn't a 3d printing board!

And that's already cross ported a lot.
