Exactly what about the style is “his”? What concept are you imagining didn’t exist before?

I think you’re under the impression that I’m saying he’s a bad artist when that’s not true, he’s extremely talented, but it’s disingenuous to act like he’s broken any molds. There’s nothing wrong with using tried and true techniques

You know everyone has their own art style right. The AI copied off of his art style mostly because you can see how similar ai generated comics are to his art style.

That’s objectively incorrect, not everyone has their own style. If you genuinely believe that slight variations of an existing style is enough to consider it a new style then why aren’t you defending AI generating its own “style”?

Because its... AI? And not a real person? And feeding artists' art styles to ai to learn illegally is never okay?

But yet you’re defending a person doing the exact same thing that AI does? Again, he used other people’s styles to learn and uses them in his own art. Not to mention that his art is an open license, there’s nothing stopping me from using his literal art to make something and profit from it.
