Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes, thankfully the reasonable tech companies offering these services have decided to stop the training process after it was done once. The insane increase in energy consumption and hardware manufacturing for datacenter components and accelerators is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with demand for gimmicky generative AI services. Let's also conveniently ignore the increasing inference cost of more complex models, while we're at it.
I wonder how many artists they could just pay for what they spend on all that...
Their goal isn't to replace a few staff members, it's to replace all of them, everywhere, across the globe. So they consider it a worthwhile investment. As to what we'll do when 5 people are in control of, manufacturer, and create literally everything?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
