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.

The maths technology behind AI generated stuff is indeed impressive and beautiful. But people are mostly against the way it's being used in the real world.
Big companies like Microsoft are using it to make profit off of the back of creative types. They're going to force non-AI art out of the market to make quick short term profit at the cost of the entire creative industry.
It may be "progress", but it's progress in the same way that social media platforms restricting their consumers to increase roi is progress.
Not every model uses copywritten work though. And the underlying technology had nothing to do with it.
It’s fear mongering to keep the populace away from making money like the dot com bubble people did. I won’t fall for paranoia and fear mongering, but I will always be willing to discuss these things and hear people out. I hope you aren’t mistaking my passion and love for this stuff to be anger or hostility toward anyone, especially artists who are likely somewhat scared.
I know some people are working on open models trained with consent, but they are in the minority. Most people are angry with the large scraping model which plays no heed towards copyright and ethics. Maybe the language could be more nuanced, sure, but that's not the world we live in.
As for stopping people making money from it... As far as I can tell the only people making money from genai are:
I'd consider the second one to be the only "good" one. And hey, if you can make something cool out of things that you have explicit consent to use, go for it. But the other two I don't think are good for society.
And this is a zero sum game, so money that people are spending on AI are directly coming out of artist's hypothetical pockets. Which is a problem nowadays given the recent NFT stuff, worldwide economic problems and collapse of vast parts of their marketing and marketplace spaces.
The technology is cool, it's just grossly misused by people that are abusing it.
