    very upsetting to find out this comic is ai generated. i wanted to comment on how people like comparing the current us regime to Nazi Germany but never seem to realize that the us itself was founded on the genocide of the Indigenous Peoples.

      Why? This is a political comic making a point.

      Being able to draw doesn’t mean you have good political takes, and vice versa

        as far as i’m concerned all image generative ai does is steal other people’s labour with no compensation or recognition.

        (text generative ai that generates “stories” fits in this category too)

        if one very badly wants to make a point in the form of a political comic, then commission an artist instead.

          If you really wanted to make a valid point, you should have submitted a handwritten letter.

          It’s not a zero sum game - the real problem is when it’s competing with paid work

          Commissioning an artist to do this is imaginary work - there’s no money to be made here, who commissions a political comic? If you can’t draw, you wouldn’t be doing it

          There’s a problem if you’re mass producing slop, or companies are using AI art to avoid paying artists… But this was a clear, human created message delivered by using a fancy tool

          And what’s more, this is an important message to spread ASAP.

          Can you name a better situation to use Gen image AI, or do you just hate it because of what it is?
