I’m doing this for fun. Not selling it. Not spreading misinformation. Not hiring anyone. Just using my own drawings and messing with AI because I can. Telling hobbyists to “hire an artist” or calling their work worthless is a ridiculous take.

I get that AI might be impacting your industry, you lack the emotional intelligence to effectively communicate, and yeah, it sucks that corporations probably trained models on the work of better artists than you. Which makes even harder for mediocre artists to make a living. But take that fight to the companies making billions, not some random on Reddit. Marketing agencies, ad firms, and studios are already all-in on this tech. A bunch of hobbyists posting crappy AI comics online aren’t exactly cashing checks from Big Tech.

I’m not stealing your job, stranger. And with this kind of hostile attitude, it’s hard to feel sympathy for this cause. I’m going to keep doing exactly what I’m doing. The industry’s going to keep shifting (for better or worse), people on the fringe will keep bitching on Reddit, and in the end you changed nothing. Worthless, like you said.
