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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.
Dude pulling on native american person's braid, mother and daughter look too similar, mom's hand is messed up, SS logos are messed up
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!
If you're interested in seeing how good it's gotten now, some are impressive https://sora.com/explore/images
What ever you do, don't look at the Native American's eyes. 🥴
😳😬
Hands, faces, eyes, insignias. The usual shit.
The eyes, mostly. The braid thing is weird, too.
Yea, I don't mind AI for personal use stuff like this. But AI in commercial stuff is a big no go.
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.
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.
They didn't say "A human could make this", they said "I could make this."
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.
