[disclaimer: stealing from starving artists is bad]
Who commissions a political comic
lol
Great comment
I wish the courts decided everybody should use that Adobe model where anyone in the training set gets compensated. The debate immediately becomes far less interesting when nobody is obviously getting directly screwed.
Once that moral high ground is achieved, the arguments about increased accessibility of expression become more sympathetic. Then I can’t just care about the artist who needs to make rent, I have to care about the amateur filmmaker who can’t afford to traditionally storyboard their dream just like it is in their brain…
I want artists to eat, and I also want everyone to have more access to expression. Me finishing my dinner doesn’t help the kids in Africa, and if I made a comic I’m not stealing food from the artists mouths
If you want systematic changes, you need systematic solutions. Empty moralizing won’t fix anything
I suppose the systemic solution would be a mandate to follow an Adobe-style model.
Certainly seems impossible to harm anyone by making a comic for fun with an available tool.
For contrast -
Entrepreneurs who start small businesses today and especially the years to come 2026 will have to decide though where their morals lie - will an artist, or Altman, profit from the logo creation?

Yeah, and there’s children starving in Africa
