Procedural generation is generative, but it ain't AI. It especially has nothing in common with the exploitative practices of genAI training.

"AI" is just very advanced procedural generation. There's been games that used image diffusion in the past too, just in a far smaller and limited scale (such as a single creature, like the pokemon with the spinning eyes

To me, what makes the difference is whether or not it's trained on other people's shit. The distinction between AI and an algorithm is pretty arbitrary, but I wouldn't consider, for example, procedural generation via the wave function collapse algorithm to have the same moral implications as selling something using what most people would call AI-generated content.

And if you train an open source model yourself so it can generate content specifically on work you've created? Or are you against certain Linux devices too?
