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.
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?
A single AI image costs the same amount of energy as half of a full charge on a phone btw, could have just made it yourself or hung out with some artists and pitched them this idea, they would have done it for free if you’re friendly; making this stuff though, not gonna make many artist friends!

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.
