He/him. Husband and father writing Flow Trailhead content for Salesforce. The original Flownatic. I play games and write sci-fi stories. Bigotry and greed are the enemies of civilization. AI art is theft. My opinions are my own.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

It should go without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: There’s never any AI in MCG’s products. We make great RPGs because we love making great RPGs, and every word and image comes straight from our 100% human imaginations. We won’t insult your creativity, or ours, by delivering purposeless machine-generated drek, especially when we have so many great visions and ideas we’re excited to share with you!

Rather than rant about AI/GenAI again, I'm gonna repost this and go get a drink.

This comic wasn't about AI, it was just about what makes human creativity so special and unique that assuming you can take it away leaves us bereft of something precious.

AI pushers count on people not caring. πŸ’–
