    What’s more annoying? That people have the ability to generate content with AI, or that everyone on lemmy constantly complains about it?

      Because sometimes people have an idea for a relevant comic, but not the artistic ability to draw it. So, they use AI tools to create the artwork.

        Damn, you’re right, artistic talent is totally required to make webcomics.

        I apologise for my glib response. I don’t doubt your sincerity. Things may change in the future. It’s just that in this particular historical moment AI has as much to do with democratising talent as nfts did with supporting solo artists/creators.

          So I guess you’re opposed to CGI in movies as well, or any comic that isn’t hand drawn and scanned?

          Shit, that’s using a scanner… Hand drawn and a picture taken… Nope. That doesn’t work either. Printed in a… Fuck.

          I guess you only approve of comics hand drawn by people that show you the original in person?

              In regards to “using a robot creation to appeal to human emotions” it is. I highly doubt the prompt was “created a comic that appeals to human emotions”. Someone had a specific idea and told the AI specifically what to make, the AI did not “decide” what would appeal to human emotions.

      It does seem a little odd to include the USA twice and not to include China or the USSR once. They could have even included Dutch slavers putting Africans on a boat.

      Shocking truth:

      Humans can make all art made by AI.

      Humans can make all calculations made by computers.

      People use tools to achieve their goals more efficiently. It’s the way it always has been. It doesn’t mean there’s no value attached to it.

      Incidentally, for all of the “this is AI” brigade, what are you picking up on? I’m not picking up on any of the classic tells. Aside from the closed fists in the first and last image, where I’d personally go for an open hand, I don’t see anything obviously amiss.

          I agree with this entirely. I personally use AI to help me do things that I don’t have the time to do “the old fashioned way”.

          I can draw, paint, sing, sculpt, etc, and I enjoy doing all these things very much. But I don’t have time any more - I have a full-time job, two kids taking up most of my time, and Long COVID means I’m asleep for almost all of what would be left over.

          I’ve used AI to help me bring 2d art, music and 3d models into this world that would otherwise be trapped in my head.

          To me, it is not even the commercial stuff that matters. AI-generated image should never be in public domain because it is all stolen from others, piece by piece. The copyright is a big question mark.

        Humans can make all art made by AI.

        They didn’t say “A human could make this”, they said “I could make this.”

        People use tools to achieve their goals more efficiently. It’s the way it always has been. It doesn’t mean there’s no value attached to it.

        This counters another argument that wasn’t made. Sure, the end product has some value, but also comes with the negatives that some people see as intrinsic in the use of AI.

        what are you picking up on?

        There’s a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify

        Now after seeing more and more, my brain’s detection algorithms are updating.

        I’m quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect

          Ah, thanks for that!

          I was genuinely interested because I used to lecture when the GANs first started appearing. Ironically enough, I used to point out to the students how you could tell photos were generated (mismatching ears shapes, asymmetrical glasses, oddly shaped jewellery etc.).

          Seems like I need more exposure to the comic art side of things!

          You know when you repost someone else’s work, you should at least say who made it, right?

          AI-generated artwork has thousands if not millions artists’ names attached to it.

      The way the officers hold the people makes no sense. The hands are not bad overall but if you can do five pretty well then you wouldn’t suck at making the little kid’s hand- it’s wonky, if it were a person drawing you’d see a similar level of wonkiness on all hands not just that one. Also you would try to make things a bit more dramatic, if a person has this level of skill they probably can figure out gaze directions and enhance facial expressions a bit more to add to it.

      I wonder what the prompts were. It reminds me of Shaun Tan

      There are a lot of “you can tell by the way it is” type comments so I’ll be specific. Zoom in on the eyes of the Native American. Observe how the Union officer isn’t really gripping his arm with that hand. The little boy in the final panel is missing eye details.

      There are some other telling details but those jump out right away.

      ChatGPT has a limited set of styles it tends to use, so once you see it a few times the rest starts looking more like AI. Text is “correct”, but that font in particular really stands out to me. Very detailed styles like that are also rare if it’s not AI because it would be way more work than something simple, if someone was putting in that effort the concept would probably follow the visuals more rather than the other way around, the expressions of the characters and the directions they’re looking seem a little bit random like that aspect of it was an afterthought.

      Overall I actually like AI but I don’t really like the way it’s used here, the visuals are too goofy for the serious topic to the point where it gives off a slightly sarcastic vibe, and they don’t add a lot to a concept that would probably otherwise be a screenshot of a tweet or something.

      The entire “art style” reeks of ai. Just look at those faces. It looks more like a filter than a drawing.

      I think the uncanny look is caused by the generator being mostly trained on photos or 3d cgi instead of actual drawings.

      Edit: There’s also intent, which the generator couldn’t handle at all. These peoples gazes are pointing at very weird directions and their expressions don’t make any sense for the scene, or for what the image is supposed to convey.

      The sheriff looks like he’s being portrayed as tough, manly, and cool, while the native american is waiting for someone. The creepy SS officer is actually kind of okay, but the concentration camp victim is afraid of a scooby doo ghost. ICE dude is tired and waiting for his shift to end. The three people under him (why suddenly three?) have a “sad” expression that’s more cartoony than serious.
