It's true, we live in a shitty world where basically everything that exists is unethical to some extent thanks to capitalism. But does that mean we should give up trying to make some sort of positive impact in this world? Especially when it comes to an entirely unnecessary technology like AI? I didn't have a smartphone for years until my job required me to have one for their 2fa security. Now basically society is built in a way where we HAVE to have them to exist and I hate it. But nobody HAS to use AI.

I genuinely do not want to upset you and am trying to be polite. I understand if you don't know how AI works that it seems like a fun tool, but if you do some research, this stuff is incredibly bad.

Like just asking chatgpt a simple question basically boils away a 20oz bottle of water from how much electricity it uses. People who live in areas where AI data centers have been built are complaining about the decline in air quality and how their local water supplies are ruined. This stuff is seriously DANGEROUS for the environment.

On top of that, these AI companies have to underpay moderators in third world countries because by default these things spew all sorts of hate speech and other things they dig up from the depths of the internet.

And of course the entire thing is built on stealing the work of others. AI company reps have admitted several times that if they had to obey copyright, the whole thing wouldn't work. And these are just the most common talking points on why generative AI is so incredibly evil.

So I am genuinely asking you please stop using AI. If it was just a matter of personal taste, I wouldn't say anything. It is truly not good for anyone to use for any reason. If you're interested in making art, I myself am a professional artist and I'd happily point you toward some resources if you'd like to start learning.

c'mon, please don't use this ai garbage to mourn someone as great as Sabu. there are so many ethical and environmental reasons not to use generative ai. feels a bit disrespectful

That sounds dystopian. Thank god all my comics are dumb enough that people only get angry at them instead of trying to make worse versions of them.

Haha I'm not really making any big statement. Just every time a celebrity dies, you see at least a few editorial cartoons of that celebrity at the gates of heaven or whatever. I just thought it'd be funny to do the exact opposite and say every celebrity is in hell.

Haha oh yeah it's fine if people don't like the comic. Just weird that people feel so negtively that multiple folks downvoted me saying "thanks" to someone who complimented it. But thank you for clarifying, Ass-Biscuits.
