  • There are different reasons against AI, it depends which ones you consider more important.

    A) taking jobs away from artists - you can argue that if you would never have hired an artist for this anyway (throw away character portrait for a D&D game) then it’s justifiable.

    B) That AI was trained on stolen content. - depends on your definition of stolen, this is the area that makes me think twice.

    C) Environmental reasons - I try to generate stuff locally if I use it, but you still have the impact from the model being trained originally.


  • The problem is access to market data. You are not going to find reliable (free) APIs for all the shares you want, never mind mutual funds etc.

    If anyone knows options for UK/US data that is likely to remain free for year then let me know!

    You can just scrape brokers websites of course, but it gets funky when there are splits/reverse splits/mergers.
