My favorite use of AI was mentioned in one of the trainings we had on AI in my work. First they explained how you can just give AI some bullet points on what you want to say and it can write a pretty good sounding email. And one of the next tips was that you can feed AI lenghty emails to condense them to simple bullet points.
Can't make this shit up.
I'm a layman in terms if AI but I think it can be a useful tool, if used in proper context. I use it when I struggle to find something by regular internet search. The fact you can search in a conversational style and specify as you go on what you need is great.
I feel it is pushed into contexts where it has no place and where it's usefulness is limited or counterproductive.
Then there is the question of the inproper use of copyrighted material which is terrible
While Ciri didn't go through the Trials, she had the "Trials lite" herbal treatment she got on Kaer Morhen. She doesn't quite have witcher abilities, but also has higher potential than your average human.
While discussions like this are quite fun, you also need to remember it's really just trying to find in universe reasoning to explain something which is working well, but in reality it wouldn't. Rule of cool also applies heavily.
Also, it was only around the time Sapkowski wrote the books the historical fencing manuals were found and studied by people to recreate the techniques and understand them as we do today. So Sapkowski didn't have the benefit of research of how actual longsword (and other weapons for that matter) fencing looked like.
I don't remember the details (long time since I read the books last time), but what I like about the Bonhart fight is that it took place on the wooden planks up high and Ciri could use her training from Kaer Morhen well, if you remember when she trained with all the pendulums on the narrow wooden planks (not sure how to call these thingsproperly in English, sorry - but I hopenyou get what I'm referencing).
Also good point on the fighting style being unpredictable for people training standard swordfighting. It's similar in reality too, when an experienced fighter fights with a newbie, the expert might get cought unprepared by some dumb stuff the newbie does because they don't know any better and the expert knows something like that is stupid, so doesn't expect anyone to do it
If I remember correctly the youtube channel The Swords Path tried to somewhat recreate the witcher fencing style. You can check some of their older vids.
The issue is, the witcher fencing techniques would not really work that great. There is no realistic fencing school that would resemble it. Even in the books, the style is developed not to fence with humans - it's to fight monsters. It's what witchers do, so it's what they learn. It works for witchers because they are inhumanly quick.
In real life fencing, you don't really want to do pirouettes and expose your back to your enemy. There might be a situation where you could get away with it, but not consistently, at least not with longsword or similar weapons. There are weapons, like a zweihander where you do spin around but that's because you have a bigass sword which would have longer reach and you would really only use it to keep enemies away from you.
The witcher style looks good on page or screen, but it is not how a real person would fight with a sword. Look up some HEMA (historical european martial arts) sparring videos to see swordfighting based on historical sources. You probably mostly want to see longsword fights.
If you have questions, feel free to ask. I'm a bit rusty as I'm on a bit of a hiatus from HEMA but I can try answering for sure.
Ok, I'm not Polish (hopefully somebody Polish will chime in soon) but from neighbouring Slavic country so tried to figure this out with some translator help. My gues it's something like "tam idzje" (or close to it, might not be comoletely gramatically correct), but pretty butchered - I understand your father doesn't speak the language but probably heard someone in family as a kid say it and tried his best to mimic them? I'd expect it not sounding quite right.
I think I can get reasonably close to pronouncing "tam idzje" weirdly enough for it to sound something like "yadja".
Not sure if trolling or serious tbh
Even minor revenue cut is a revenue cut, that's true. The creators would need to be believers, or YouTube would need to do a fuck up.
Realistically though, best we can hope for for now is them crossposting to both YouTube and PeerTube
Might be wrong but doesn't majority of the money come from sponsors and such? I was led to believe ad revenue was just a nice little bonus.
Biggest issue probably will be how small it is so it would not be worth it to sponsors.
Obviously take your time. Sorry if the comment came of wrong.
