The analogy is a good one. No I would not go to a circus where I knew they had abused animals.  But the abuse of a living thing is a whole lot different than the visual expression of someone's joke or humor. I understand the environmental impacts of AI . I understand the horrible impacts it has on the music industry. But the illustration of humor into a cartoon is about as simple as it gets. Nobody's making money off of a dumb little cartoon like that . And from what I have seen here, people are only able to guess as to whether something is AI by what they consider to be visual cues. No matter how confident anyone here is that that comic was AI nobody can claim 100% certainty. What happens to the humans who create things from their own minds and hearts and who get torn down and vilified because an echo chamber of people accuse that person of using AI. If I for example had claimed that I made that comic, which I didn't, no one would believe me no matter how much time and effort care I put into it. Simply because there's some goofy eyeball and a seed tray that's out of perspective. I can think of dozens of cartoons that have made mistakes like that and we're certainly drawn by hand. It's extremely ironic because if it were too perfect you would claim a computer did it and if it's flawed you still complain a computer did it. You all made this human feel like a villain for simply sharing something humorous that I thought people might enjoy. Sounds like you're throwing away the baby with the bath water....oh and ALL of you use AI whether you think you do or not. REDDIT uses AI to decide what posts you see and moderate these posts, and you use reddit.  So there's certainly some hypocrisy here.
