Mr. and Mrs. "I hate drawing" find a tool that lets them make pictures without drawing. They use that tool. Not many other people I'd be less shocked to see use AI

Also Mouly and Spiegelman are 71 and 78 respectively. Like 70% of people that age that use smartphones are super reliant on AI. A good chunk of those are getting AI psychosis. When my grandmother caught wind of a problem I had she entered it into ChatGPT and sent me its solution

People really can't conceive of the existence of comics outside of Marvel/DC/Image/whatever, or the existence of comics piracy outside of the most surface-level shit.

Anyway think cracking down on piracy like this is just bringing us closer to the heat-death of the traditional comics publisher and the floppy format which is maybe not such an awful thing long-term. Harper Stern there's no room for u in the modern market reaction image
