Interesting way to put it. The first thing it made me think is that if they did the 2nd part entirely within your PC, would it be ok privacy-wise, and would the consumers be ok with it?

I haven’t looked into the current iterations options, but I think I still want the option to turn it off. Personally I’m less concerned with privacy and more concerned with it using up my computers resources.

Maybe it’s inspired by Rothko

This is how I’m able to sleep without worrying about death, one of these billionaires has got to be funding research so they can live forever. No guarantee they’ll share but that’s at least a less dread inducing issue.

Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven’t returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.

Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

I’m not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that’s how it reads.

I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

I’m more trying to figure out why it’s generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

I don’t know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I’ve seen people do.

Ok, dumb question time. I’m assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can’t quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?

I usually go to tools, and the option for results in the past year.

Isn’t that Benjamin Franklin or did West Wing lie to me?

Sounds like you’re just copying a template to new files based on a csv? You don’t have to edit anything inside the word files at all?

If that’s the case, just load the csv file, I think the command is Read-Content, loop through each line, split by ‘,’ parse whatever name data you need and copy your template.docx to your new file.docx

Lol, I have my favorite file_put_contents line for debugging php, but being able to step through code would be great. What’s your setup? Last time I tried I couldn’t get xdebug working on win server + apache.
