      Because sometimes people have an idea for a relevant comic, but not the artistic ability to draw it. So, they use AI tools to create the artwork.

        Damn, you’re right, artistic talent is totally required to make webcomics.

        I apologise for my glib response. I don’t doubt your sincerity. Things may change in the future. It’s just that in this particular historical moment AI has as much to do with democratising talent as nfts did with supporting solo artists/creators.

      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.

          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.

          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.

        Humans can make all art made by AI.

        They didn’t say “A human could make this”, they said “I could make this.”

        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.

        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.

        what are you picking up on?

        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 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!

      The way the officers hold the people makes no sense. The hands are not bad overall but if you can do five pretty well then you wouldn’t suck at making the little kid’s hand- it’s wonky, if it were a person drawing you’d see a similar level of wonkiness on all hands not just that one. Also you would try to make things a bit more dramatic, if a person has this level of skill they probably can figure out gaze directions and enhance facial expressions a bit more to add to it.

      I wonder what the prompts were. It reminds me of Shaun Tan

      ChatGPT has a limited set of styles it tends to use, so once you see it a few times the rest starts looking more like AI. Text is “correct”, but that font in particular really stands out to me. Very detailed styles like that are also rare if it’s not AI because it would be way more work than something simple, if someone was putting in that effort the concept would probably follow the visuals more rather than the other way around, the expressions of the characters and the directions they’re looking seem a little bit random like that aspect of it was an afterthought.

      Overall I actually like AI but I don’t really like the way it’s used here, the visuals are too goofy for the serious topic to the point where it gives off a slightly sarcastic vibe, and they don’t add a lot to a concept that would probably otherwise be a screenshot of a tweet or something.

      There are a lot of “you can tell by the way it is” type comments so I’ll be specific. Zoom in on the eyes of the Native American. Observe how the Union officer isn’t really gripping his arm with that hand. The little boy in the final panel is missing eye details.

      There are some other telling details but those jump out right away.

      The entire “art style” reeks of ai. Just look at those faces. It looks more like a filter than a drawing.

      I think the uncanny look is caused by the generator being mostly trained on photos or 3d cgi instead of actual drawings.

      Edit: There’s also intent, which the generator couldn’t handle at all. These peoples gazes are pointing at very weird directions and their expressions don’t make any sense for the scene, or for what the image is supposed to convey.

      The sheriff looks like he’s being portrayed as tough, manly, and cool, while the native american is waiting for someone. The creepy SS officer is actually kind of okay, but the concentration camp victim is afraid of a scooby doo ghost. ICE dude is tired and waiting for his shift to end. The three people under him (why suddenly three?) have a “sad” expression that’s more cartoony than serious.

        Weird eyes on the native American. The soldier/sherif is holding his braid for some reason.

        The SS officer has garbled ensignias.

        I left another comment down there somewhere, but here’s something

        The most obvious tell to me is that it looks more like a filter than a real drawing. So far all AI drawings look like this. There’s also details that I was able to pick apart:

        • Why did the artist choose to draw everyone gazing into nowhere in particular, and not for example at each other?
        • People have detailed faces, but their expressions seem unrelated to the message. Same applies to positions.
        • The concentration camp victim is especially scared of something offscreen while the SS officer holding his shoulders, as if he was protecting this small man…?
        • The artist chose to very clearly display the sheriff holding his fist in front of the native american, but for no apparent reason. Same for ICE.
        • Why did the artist choose to use three victims in the last panel, making the composition weird and unbalanced.

        Maybe it’s because of different amounts of exposure to AI stuff or something, but the only feeling I can get from this style and the empty stares is that something’s just off, and I hate looking at this so much.

        Human artists train using other artists work. Every avenue of human endeavour is based on what came before.

        My own default style shares similarities with Barbara Canepa and Rumiko Takahashi. Why? Because, as a teen, I used to copy their stuff, trying to “unlock” the parts of it that I like.

        If I was to directly copy an image, and say it was my own, then that crosses over into stealing. But that’s not what has happened here. And unless you get very specific with the prompts, it’s not likely to happen.

          Okay, but did you literally illegally download the material in the first place? Did you violate licenses that you obtained the material under? Do you intentionally imitate specific artists so that casual observers can’t tell the difference and then fill the entire space with more shitty art using that style than any human artist could ever product, such that the original artist who developed it no longer has control over that style and has their future income devastated?

          It’s not the same thing and you’d have to be willfully ignorant by this point to think that it is. All the major LLMs are “fruit of the poisonous tree.” They were trained using stolen data that they were not entitled to use for those purposes. The artists SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID for their work training the AI.

            I don’t agree with your take, sorry.

            To say that an artist should have exclusive control over a style is dangerous.

            Every time there is a big upheaval in an industry, it affects people’s jobs in that sector. Henry Ford’s investments in automation, put a lot of small car manufacturers in a tricky position. It also led to cars being affordable for most American households.

            I’m not unsympathetic, in fact I’m more than a little aware that AI will be taking over my sector, the software development jobs, within a couple of years (and unlike art, I can’t see any market for “hand-crafted” code!).

            But, the genie can’t be put back in the bottle. There’s no possible positive that comes from “calling out” AI art whenever you see it. It doesn’t help artists - if anything we’ve seen artists having to go out of their way proving their work isn’t AI.
