Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
I think the point you're missing is modern cameras (especially smart phone cameras) already have AI and don't "capture" what they see accurately.
In fact photographers going back into the earliest days of photography have been modifying photos with all the tools available to them.
Generative AI is just the latest tool in the toolbox and still requires skill and creativity to get good results.
This cartoon is stupid and the artist is a Nazi, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If the person who made this wanted to make a point about mobile phone cameras, they should have drawn one of them, but they very deliberately drew an SLR/DSLR (E: though to be fair it would make little difference to my point). There is also nothing here about editing or modifying, just a camera. Both things being tools still doesn't make them comparable in the way they are trying to be compared here. I also literally never said anything negative about AI (it has some uses), yet you are getting oddly defensive of it.
So I'm not the one missing anything, you are the one creating a strawman because you think I said something bad about your current favourite brand of tech-woo lol
Except that the comic clearly doesn't include a phone camera.
