Dungeons and Dragons Players Boycotting Popular Map-Making Tool Over AI Controversy

15 comments

TL;DR (from a quick read through) :
The app is inkarnate, the CEO announced they're planning on allowing creators to put AI Generated content on their marketplace, with AI labels.
This plus price hikes means a bunch of people are cancelling their subscription.
- @Yorick @Girdy That's enough for me to cancel my subscription.
but for what its worth (and gamerant failed to update their drama piece):

they back peddled.
- Good spot!
  
  Thanks
Dungeondraft is the way to go IMO: buy once, no sub, tons of extra assets available. There's also Wondedraft if you're doing world maps.
- DungeonDraft is a wonderful tool.
- I wish I could get it to run on Linux
  
  It runs fine on Linux for me out of the box.
It looks like Inkarnate decided to allow AI "art" in the marketplace.
Oh man, did a subscription service burn people? No way, I never could have guessed!
Theres another one called Dungeon Alchemist which claims to use AI, but the AI in question is actually just a very complex if=>then=>else statement (think npc ai). I have no idea why they are calling their scripts AI.
- Before all this LLM nonsense that was AI and it still is. I guess they are just being overly transparent.
