I think that probably AI art has developed beyond where people are ready to manage it or set limits, work out credits, etc. It's a complicated minefield.

I'm not an artist, but I as someone who writes a lot, I won't pretend that I'm positive about people using AI to write stories or articles.  I don't know if it is the same or different as with pictures, though. :/

My biggest fear around AI is that it actually isn't AI but computer learning, and what it's learning from is often an internet full of division, hate and stereotypes. There have been some worrying creations from AI when given certain prompts about certain groups...until we have an actual interface capable of learning and judging independently from what humans put out, I feel like it's a pretty risky thing to be relying on. I'm also worried about how it is used in video to create deepfakes.

But that is a bit different from AI art as well.

I just think that probably needs wider discourse about how it's used/what credit systems exist/how it can be managed. All art and creative stuff has inspiration in something else, whether it's a walk in nature, or an experience, or a person...or whatever. It's just working out how to manage that line to keep it to inspiration...I guess?

Very. Very. Complicated.

Trader & Shipping Support / Returned package from Brazil
« Last post by Barnacle_lady on Today at 04:11:09 AM »
I want to know if more people have the same experience or maybe I missed something.

End of January I shipped a pony package with track & trace to Brazil. Buyer was fully aware that it could take some time to arrive. And also got the track & trace from me to follow the package. Post office also agreed I filled in address and customs form correctly. So the waiting game and follow the package could begin.
Beginning of February the t&t was "item is at customs" in Brazil. Ok, let them check whatever they want to check.
Yesterday I saw at the t&t site that package could not be delivered and is being returned to me. So now I have to wait until it comes back to me. And we really don't have a clue why. Buyer doesn't want the money back, even offered shipping again.Well let's then wait until the box arrives and then decide how to solve this.
Ponies,1 plush, squishy pops and loose blind bag ponies are all G4 with the only sort of special the Guardians of Harmony Spitfire & Soarin with that flying thing and Diamond Mint with liquid in it. Everything else just common, low value. Stickers and cards as extra's. Luckily I made pictures of the box and addres/custom label.

I am bumping this a bit, I still don't get a lot of offers.

@Gaspode Is this price still subject to at least 3 - 4 Pounds shipping?

I also go for Euro packaging since we don't have Argos or Target :) But they were commonly available

Yes, it is indeed Cotton Candy! Your turn, BlackCurtains!

I have to be honest: I said her symbol isn't food related, but I wasn't really sure because I guess those white specks could be little bits of cotton candy...so that's why I gave that extra clue! I didn't want to mislead anyone!

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Re: What are you playing?

I'm  not sure if this belongs in Trivial Complaints or here, but I'll post it here for now.  About a month after I got my Switch I had to send it back to Nintendo because my left Joy Con wasn't working correctly. Nintendo sent me another Joy Con free because my Switch was under warranty.  I'd had little problems with the replacement until yesterday.  It kept disconnecting suddenly and at some point the Switch thought the L and R Joy Con were the same.  It would light up the Right on the screen if I pressed the Left.  Turning the Switch off and on would fix the problem for a few minutes, but as soon as I really got started on my game, it would happen again.  Today, I the same thing happened so I decided to open my extra Joy Cons ( I bought an extra set so that if I ever had another Joy Con fail, I wouldn't have to send my Switch in.)  After they charged the new Joy Cons worked perfectly. 

I'm wondering if Nintendo will replace any Joy Con for free?  I don't think the issue is Joycon Drift, since it seems to be a connecting issue.

Also, if Princess Peach Showtime is supposed to be so easy, why have I died a bunch of times?
