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.

I've spent five, six hours getting an ai generated image to be just what I want using stable diffusion models, comfyui, various Lora's, op adapters, etc. I've made ai generated songs that I've taken the considerable time writing rhyming lyrics that express what I want.
Generating ai art doesn't make me an artist. Generating ai music doesn't make you a musician. Though if you've written the lyrics yourself it DOES make you a poet. And if you're getting down into the nitty gritty fine tuning modules (which I have done), as well as using more complex tools available, it IS difficult and it DOES take time to learn.
This shit can get REALLY technical and there is a lot to learn and it can be very difficult to produce something you're proud of.
Does it mean making something with ai means it's as difficult as making real art? No. They're completely different skill sets.
Does writing the lyrics to an ai generated song make you a musician? No. Do writing engaging, catchy lyrics that you have a computer into a song make you a good lyricist? Yes.
People use familiar terms to describe new skill sets and technology. The new thing can't be hard because the old thing is hard. writing lyrics doesn't matter as an act of personal creation because an ai did the rest. When you start really looking at this shit and drawing you see dimensions of nuance far beyond "ai bad"
