A needed statement about AIs


I was today years old when I discovered:

1. what c-ai is
2. that there are two separate Béla profiles from Emerald Wasp
No judgement\hatred towards anyone, but please read!

First of all: I don't think the chats were created with ill intentions, who did them must really like the character and wanted to have fun. If you're the creator of the two AIs and you're reading this: I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'd rather read a fanfiction from you than a chatbot. Not pretending a fanfiction of course, but if you want to share your passion for the character with somebody it'd be something I would share myself. I'm a technical dinosaur, probably too old to understand the appeal of AI.

This episode made me think that I didn't state out loud my position about generative assets, so it made a devlog needed. 
As you can imagine, I'm against image and vocal AIs, so anyone please don't feed the assets of the game into training datasets. The artists and composer of the game worked really hard on this, and having their work exploited isn't something I can tolerate. While the chatbot is pretty harmless, I don't want people to think that me letting this one slide is a greenlight to feeding art & music into AIs.
Please, don't.

Now, about the chat, it made me think...
Since it's been created it means at least one person had an interest of having a conversation with Béla, right...? I thought of those "Ask Character" on tumblr and maybe it could be a good compromise. If you're interested in this I could try to make one. 
I'm just a little out of touch with tendencies, but it seems a good compromise, is it? I'm not asking the c-ai to be taken down because I saw there's a bunch of interactions which means you must be having fun, but please be mindful next time!
