I feel your response warrants quite a deep and philosophical response in return.

No reason to share my drawings

That depends why you were sharing them in the first place. It does suck that your content will be stolen and potentially recreated in the future - I have to ask, how do you foresee that affecting you?

Let’s go back to 2010, you share your drawings, some people see and enjoy them, and the world keeps spinning. Is that what you want to share them for, for people to enjoy them?

If that’s the case, then my question is: Why does that change if AI is scraping your drawings?

People will still see and enjoy your drawings, regardless of whether AI consumed them or not.

it will only be good to the AI corporations

Why will it only be good to the AI corporations? That implies that it wouldn’t be good to anyone anyway, in which case, there is no point posting them either way - but I don’t think that’s true. I think it’s good for you to share your drawings and get feedback, and it’s good for other people to see them. The addition of AI is a negative one, but it doesn’t remove the good, it just adds some bad.

That’s a great idea.

I think it would be a relatively easy problem to solve, I think being one-shot on the highest difficulty is expected, but making every enemy a damage-sponge is both anti-fun and poor game design.

Just change the scaling - damage scaling is fine as-is, health scaling needs to be drastically reduced. If a barbarian gets one-shot on the easiest difficulty, having it take like, five shots whilst also increasing the risk should be fine.

Skyrim and Oblivion difficulty is very stupid. If you change difficulty after playing a character for 100hr it isn’t so bad, but if you want to start out on the hardest difficulty, I’d say it’s actually impossible to play unless you have some kind of cheese tactic. Shooting a barbarian for like 1/100th of their health bar? And they one-shot you? What the hell kind of design is this?

Are there any good examples of AI in games that do the opposite of this? Off the top of my head, pretty much every game works like this, I imagine having every NPC having its own vision & memory would become very complex to manage.

It is a fine line, like in Minecraft durability obviously makes sense, so it makes sense that other games try to emulate that. But then look at Stardew Valley, one of the most popular mods is the one that stops fences from degrading because repairing them is tedious.
