This is freakin awesome but do the creators even play chess? Playing chess from that viewing angle is unpleasant as hell. Imagine putting all your work into creating an amazing demo and then drowning it with one design decision. Edit: Ok I see that you can change the view in settings. They should make that option more visible.

There's plenty of places to play chess already so presumably the main idea is to show off the AI generated pieces and default to the 3D view because it looks cooler.

From EU:

"This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions."

"AI outputs may sometimes be offensive or inaccurate."

I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.' New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought individual countries had been banned for possibly generating offensive content but it works for Great Britain.

Apparently my brain is broken because I can generate almost nothing but pink errors, though it seems to be a bit non deterministic: Taoism Tibet Tibetan Buddhism Wrathful deities Existential angst Dantes inferno Major religions Australian indigenous Salvador Dali Others generated sets but should have generated errors because the results are so uninspiring: Mandalas YouTube face Phallic symbols Corporate waste Asymmet…

Better link (at least for the many who can't get the actual service) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yGEhp3WBMcg

Thanks because "This tool is not available to users under the age of 18 or in certain countries or regions." The EU is left behind

As per usual. If we weren't such a big market we'd already be left behind by everyone else due to all the bullshit happening in the EU legal-wise.

Yes, my religion forbids me from interacting in any shape with any Abominable Intelligence. I am thankful to the Google corporation from protecting my eyes from this unholy threat.

TIL: apparently, mine too. Thank you Google for protecting me from spiritual threats I wasn't even aware of.

Care to explain further?

What bullshit? Protecting the privacy? Making sure the playing field is at least somewhat level?

Sorry, but I'm a big fan of that "bullshit". And the big American companies are not, and they are making sure you know it, by pulling things like this.

The legal thing happen exactly because we are a big market.

Apparently EU is one of these regions. But what’s up with… chess?

Limiting access for EU users is an easy way to sidestep a hell of a lot of potential legal liability. It’s a fast-moving and complex regulatory environment that is focused on punishing/controlling big US businesses. Option A is to burn a pile of cash and time to keep abreast of it. Option B is simply… block the EU.

That is focused on protecting costumers (mostly their own).

There I fixed it for you ;)

Edit: okay okay, I get it... Consumer protection bad, Big Tech good!

Have you considered a less paranoid explanation, like... focused on protecting Europeans from the abuses of big corporations?
