Dude, you never had "social permission" to do this in the first place, none of us asked for this shit. You're literally destroying the planet, the economy and our future for your personal gain.
You useless waste of space.
You can tell how useful AI by how much billionaire are investing in text, audio and video slop generation.
Isn't there now some social media app that only consists of generated ai slop videos?
You'd think their focus should be a little different...
I am for AI but decentralized and owned by the people. Not monopolized and owned by the 1%
"Social permission" is one term for it.
Most people don't realize this is happening until it hits their electric bills. Microslop isn't permitted to steal from us. They're just literal thieves and it takes time for the law to catch up.

"social permission"?
Society didn't even permit you and others to spread AI onto everyone to begin with.
In English: "they're talking about guillotines a lot"

I got deepseek to run short roleplaying adventures that are surprisingly fun and engaging. It's an amped up choose your own adventur, so for this application, the future is bright.
Not a single other llm can do this in any way approaching acceptable.
And it still lies and makes shit up, but in a fantasy world, the can let it pass unless it is trying to rob me of experience lol.
When it can do long sessions and entire careers instead of detailed one offs it'll have found its niche for me. Right now, it's just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.
I can't believe people use these things for code...
I can also see a lot of use in general for gaming! There might be a future where game assets are generated on the fly, dialogue and storylines are without artificial limits, no invisible borders in game worlds. The technology is useful, but not in the way those fools want to force it.
Yes, images where not every pixel is important. NPC-s going about their business. The traffic. The weather. Games will use it, I'm sure of it.
Fair, but compare that to the fun of an actual in-person TTRPG. It's the main way I make new friends as an adult man.
Right now, it’s just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.
That's the thing though - with an LLM, it's all "hallucinations". They're just usually close to reality, and are presented with an authoritative, friendly voice.
(Or, in your case, they're usually close to the established game reality!)
I hereby revoke my permission.
