How is that related exactly?
If i edited the wiki with my shiny new BippityBop account, no one would have known it was me if I never said “i made an account named BippityBop”. Theres no character validation required as far as I know.
And even if there is, he has a bunch of throwaway accounts that are going to get LM-17ed in a month.

They warned us 25 years ago to get a life.
It's impossible to ignore this every single day of your life unless you have a mental deficiency.

Dude really said "I won't edit the wiki because a make believe basement-dwelling computer nerd across the country would harass me while im pressing f5 constantly on a website for a 20+ yr old video game while eating doritos in my 12x12 closet".
LOL
Man, yall gotta get off the internet once every 8 hours and just breathe some real air for a change. It's affecting your mental health.

The question is are only advertisement professionals repelled by this or are the consumers, too. We'll see if this was just a single stunt or if this becomes the new standard next year.
I don't work in advertising. I have friends that do and they are repulsed by it, but it's also somewhat of an existential threat for them because it's their job. I have other friends who own marketing businesses (for content/media creation) that expect within 2 years they'll be out of business entirely. I'm indifferent to it, because I don't read an ad and go buy something, I read an ad, go look into it more, ask around, then go buy it if it's anything of consequence. I'm more annoyed at the proliferation of "reviews" that are paid for and make it impossible to find if something is worth a ***or not.
Marketing and advertising is one of those areas AI has a real potential to be mega impactful to the industry in a way that actually functions. For ads/commercials, if you can generate an ad that plants a seed of thought on a subject into a consumers mind, which then drives them to other media (website, influencers, etc) then it did the job. AI can do this and I don't think most people will care or even know (how many times do you see AI generated content on FB treated like it is real?). You can then use AI to generate web content at a much more rapid pace to meet things like keywords, referrers, etc. It still takes someone to polish it but the content generation is a lot cheaper.
It won't replace all the fake "reviews" online. You'll still have talking heads who are paid to "review" products that don't understand anything and only "review" it because they are paid to, but it'll drive more traffic to them when people see an AI generated ad then go look for their dumb opinion on it

My gym just rose their price over 70 dollars. Amazon is removing no interest financing, what else is next a netflix price hike? How can they keep doing this over and over, and then tariffs on literally everything you buy. Its not been this bad in a long time. How can they keep doing this over and over? Its EASY! It would be easy even if every form of consumer protection hadn't been drowned in a bathtub. Just raise the prices on everything and blame someone or something else.
As for netflix, there will be more tiers with commercials and more expensive commercial free tiers.
Does the great recession count in that long time? No one could afford anything and prices STILL rose. Not as fast as this year but IMHO you have to factor unemployment in.

Last time I tried to register on BG my very anonymised email address was "not accepted".
It looked distinctly like personal email addresses were required, which made me wonder why an ffxi wiki site would require its users to use personal email addresses to sign up.
I still don't have an account on Bg because of the email validation.

That Coke ad is something else. Who watches an ad for Coke like that and thinks: "I wanna drink sugary piss water"? Caffeinated sugary piss water. Sugar alone isn't addictive enough.
The question is are only advertisement professionals repelled by this or are the consumers, too. We'll see if this was just a single stunt or if this becomes the new standard next year. Right now its new and in the news. That's why Coke did it. How many ooo... AI! news articles, posts, blogs, etc. have you seen about the Coke commercial? How many times have you seen the Coke commercial?
Once AI adds are commonplace the only decision will be cost per eyeball.

Caught all of the fish at Fisherman's Heart (164 total) and nothing new happened. No rank up to 9 still. I had hopes though.
I'm curious if we're also including obtaining the glowy rods. Its been awhile

fwiw, from my perspective it's occasionally amusing but mostly it's not a good look for either of you sniping at each other in every thread you're both in and i wish you'd just block each other and be done with it.
but y'know, you do you. /shrug

Haven't time to post fully but sorry, you're way out of reality.
AI adverts are on TV in Eastern Europe and in Asia. By next year half of things in the West will be

None of them are that good imo. Don't you have to be on main job with magic though? Or is a trust that uses magic really enough to trigger it?

AI afaik hasn't been used for video advertisements, at least not by such big companies. Of course it works in the attention seeking department because it has the novelty of being new and AI being controversial, it was to be expected that this would provoke outrage or malice and therefore increase their reach. The thing is coke doesn't need that kind of attention to increase their reach, everyone already knows that brand.
The question is are only advertisement professionals repelled by this or are the consumers, too. We'll see if this was just a single stunt or if this becomes the new standard next year.

Ammos are a whole 'nother conversation. Bayeux ammo is dubious at best and the last crafted ammo was.. scout's bolts? Rough.

Mayakov is the only 1 with merits iirc so only one worth considering. Beyond general acc issues he can be slow to refresh it due to spamming steps but is otherwise good about it.

Then again, here we are, talking about it and I never talk about Coke, so they clearly got their objective.
