I mean anyone can use copyrighted material as inspiration for their work and it’s fair use and not a concern at all.

Is Ai only bad since it can do what a human does better/faster? If that’s that case, than they don’t actually have an issue with the fact it’s copyrighted, or I wouldn’t be able to use it for inspiration either.

Schmidtster ,

Hows it a red herring to point out we are allowed to use copyrighted materials already? Its not the concern here, yet its what they are using as the concern for their arguments against it.

Schmidtster ,

I posted it on my website as fan art and it scraped it. I just used a different filter which falls under fair use.

Schmidtster ,

Lemmy has 3 different feeds with 8 different ways to sort them, atleast my viewer does…. What more do you want?

Curating a feed is best left to yourself, not someone who can tweak the algorithm to avoid certain posts showing up since they have an agenda.

Schmidtster ,

It’s already in some games unfortunately…

Schmidtster ,

It is, but steam does have its own form of advertising. Their front page is all ads for games and sales, go to your library there is ads for updates for your games.

It just seems to be acceptable since it’s their ecosystem content, but it’s still ads for all intent and purposes.

Schmidtster ,

Ads are ads, just because it from the same ecosystem is moot. I don’t need the steamdeck paraded in my face on every page I view. It’s ads

Schmidtster ,

That’s an apt comparison actually, since yeah stores do have ads as well as products….

Edit picture doesn’t seem to be working, here

Schmidtster ,

If people bitch about ads, than they shouldn’t find those acceptable either. You can have a store and showcase products without the additional ads.

Schmidtster ,

Except it’s for any “game news”….., so if they are peddling another game of theirs, it shows up there as well. Or we are selling a plushie, it’s there in the same place. It’s not just patch notes dude… and never has been either.

Supermarket responds after Reddit user’s warning about self-checkout overcharge — ‘Was annoyed that the total amount due on my supermarket purchase did not equate to the individual items I purchased.’ (7news.com.au)

So it was resolved instore to their even better benefit, AND the person still went and posted a false story to shame and blame them?

People are fucking weird.

Schmidtster ,

Funnily enough humans have been scamming them at checkouts for decades. Adding stuff to the the scales for example, wrong fruit codes, lots of options.

Schmidtster ,

Things misscan all the time, they are using a hot topic to make an agenda.

They could have spun it as a good story with the ending they got, but they choose to focus on a technical glitch that occurs with human cashiers as well.

Schmidtster ,

So no software has ever glitched before and output a wrong result? What world do you live in?

Schmidtster ,

In-store is, and language is fluid. If you understood what I meant we succeeded in communicating, anything else is you just trying to be better than someone else.

Schmidtster ,

Yep rounding errors occur, manual changes need to be inputted sometimes, display errors, sales mistakes. Nothing weird about that. In fact their policy probably has specific points to deal with discrepancies between list, scanned and total prices.

Schmidtster ,

Okay Luddite.

Schmidtster ,

So where do we draw the line on when new words can’t be created anymore? Shakespeare? Wassup? Crunk? Your username even has LOL in it, I don’t think we should be taking language lessons from someone who parades that around….

An online forum lacking in content and engagement isn’t the place to make a stand against minor mistakes that don’t detract from the conversation.

Schmidtster ,

If it gets in the way of communicating, sure. Butobviouslythatwasn’ttheissue here.

Schmidtster ,

I believe they are what people call a hypocrite, they have LOL in their username.
