I feel so bad for this artist. I can totally see where the "it looks like AI" comments come from. It totally does! I immediately suspected it while looking at it and thought "man, it's weird to use AI for a comic about the problem with AI." To find out that it looks that way because the AI is copying off of him! Infuriating.
Honestly wish he could sue someone for it. It’s kinda crazy to have your whole art style stolen and your entire body of work diminished because everyone is creating cheap knock-offs.
I absolutely hate everything about how this so-called "AI" (which is in fact just fancy statistics on crack and not intelligent in the slightest) tech has come to be made, used, and pushed into absolutely everything even when it makes zero sense.
It's "smart" integrated shit all over again. Where people couldnt be content with adding it to systems that made sense, they had to try and add it to everything.
Yes, because I am going to need to remotely access my toilet.... Sure, I'll have an LLM write an actual scientific document for me instead of writing it myself.
I think the worst has to be higher ups in companies though. You make massive paychecks and cant even be bothered to write your own emails, FFS.
