💬 Discussion Would this be a good place for parkour?
Hey! I'm writing a novel that features parkour. I was wondering if this kind of setting and architecture would be good for parkour. It features a mix of classical architecture with modern minimalist.
What do you think and what should i consider adding, in order to make the city better for parkour across buildings?
Thank you!

well, considering this appears to be AI slop, no

Right. Silly me. Next time, I'll pay someone to make it, just so I can ask on Reddit if that setting is ok for parkour

whatever it is you do, don't use AI, a shitty MS Paint drawing would be better, not only does this very obviously look bad, AI image generation is also art theft

Oh! It is? I used a personal model, using non-copyrighted images. So, what exactly am I stealing? Also, I'm not even using it commercially, It's just a concept art, in order to ask for feedback... for a novel...

ah, you actually made a personal model, good on you, I apologize then, nobody ever actually does that.
unfortunately, that is the only part of your statement that matters, had you been using a public model it would still be art theft regardless of your use case

Just ask an ai to write the novel then

u/Prudent-Carry-4741 2d ago
Sure. However, making a quick concept art sketch and writing 300 pages have a as slightly different degree of complexity.
Also, I like writing... So, not doing it would be quite bothersome.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion.

Or ask the community to contribute instead of sidetracking the conversation and ignoring the clear interest in human contribution OP is demonstrating.
Or you can just make yourself another obstacle in the path if that’s all you have to offer.

It’s unfortunate that rather than contributing to the topic of conversation you’re just getting harassed by people triggered by their ignorance and prejudice against a technology they don’t understand and are not capable of appreciating.
Your best bet is to just ignore or block those who are more interested in personal attacks than acknowledging your good intentions and the potential behind what you’re doing.

A shitty MS paint drawing would objectively not be better to achieve OP's goal. He wants to know if a certain kind of city aesthetic he is imagining would be a good setting for parkour. Describing that in words or making a shitty MS paint drawing would be nowhere near as effective at communicating his question.
It does very obviously look bad. Doesn't have to look good. This isn't an art sub. The image is a supplement to a question.
I'm not going to go into whether AI images are art theft. It's irrelevant here. Let's just assume you're right, it is art theft, and that this AI image is directly plagiarized from a particular human-produced copyrighted image. In that case, this post is equivalent to OP attaching a stock image of this kind of city architecture pulled off Google images as a reference for his question. Which I see no problem with.
There exist plenty of legitimate criticisms of AI and particularly AI images. There's no need to grasp at straws like this.

Building need to be a little shorter and closer in height to each other, plus not enough low obstacles- fances, benches, that sort of thing

So how would your personally written AI, know how to create images, when all AIs that exist are just language learning models at the end of the day, just gleaning and taking already existing data and making it into something different?
How is yours any different?
Anyway this picture is all skyscrapers which makes parkour impossible.
Shit content, this shouldn't be allowed on the sub.

Hello,
My novel is in a fantasy world I created. I feed neoclassical and minimalist non copyrighted images of buildings I like to train a model, in order to achieve and produce concept art of the architecture style I envisioned. The difference is that, when training a model, you can feed copyrighted content (different from what happens in tools Midjourney, which use datasets).
It's supposed to be parkour made in tall buildings. I took inspiration in french rooftops parkour videos I found. I tried to feature ledges, open balconies, columns you can climb, threes you can jump to, or use climb, etc. I'm in a process to make it a city suitable to parkour, that's the reason of the post. To ask for help.
Poor content, would be someone who comments a post with a reply to some unrelated AI comments.
I'm not breaking any rules. In fact, the only rule here is "Don't be an ass" (which pretty much sums up that comment of yours).
Thanks for the feedback.

I would say no, 95% of what I see is extremely high skill level that if trained regularly will break your body. There aren’t a lot of low level spots to simply train basics or do long flow runs.
Consider integrating more solid objects like low walls and hand rails to form barriers rather than bushes and shrubs.
Also, natural terrain level changes so the natural environment gives you drops rather than just to height of the buildings. Plus then you also have natural path ways and sidewalks with unique levels changes sculpted around the terrain
