Quote from: EthicalAIIsNonsensical on Today at 20:35:25The problem with using AI isn't just if it's outputs exist in the final version of the game or if it's used temporarily. The problem with AI is that it's stealing the work of other people without giving them credit for their intellectual contributions. It's plagiarism. It's intellectual theft. It doesn't matter if gamers as a group care about the use of AI in games or not, it's unethical behaviour and society as a whole decides what is acceptable and what isn't. That's a big part of what the constitution is about.
Not really, the biggest concern people have is losing their jobs. That is what it is really about.
It is only plagiarism if the output isn't transformative, if it is transformative than it isn't plagarism. In same sense how a human learns from others and combines them to make new stuff.
That said, regardless where one stands on AI. Using it temporarily is definitely not a problem at all. Because it is hard to argue if you are using AI for personal use only is plagiarism in any sense of the word. If using AI for personal use only is plagiarism, then you surfing the internet is plagiarism. Because your browser makes a copy of the content for your viewing for personal use. This clearly 100% falls into "Fair Use". If you don't believe it does, you owe me a million bucks for plagiarizing this content I am writing now when your browser made a copy to your pc.
