- 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.

The message: π
The AI generated slop: π«€
I could've made this art.
Do it.
Shocking truth:
Humans can make all art made by AI.
Humans can make all calculations made by computers.
People use tools to achieve their goals more efficiently. It's the way it always has been. It doesn't mean there's no value attached to it.
Incidentally, for all of the "this is AI" brigade, what are you picking up on? I'm not picking up on any of the classic tells. Aside from the closed fists in the first and last image, where I'd personally go for an open hand, I don't see anything obviously amiss.
Dude pulling on native american person's braid, mother and daughter look too similar, mom's hand is messed up, SS logos are messed up
There's a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify
Now after seeing more and more, my brain's detection algorithms are updating.
I'm quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect

AI generated?
Yep, all the faces are disjointed from each other and seem generated separately. No soul at all
can we please keep this AI shit out of here
Don't get upset about AI. It was just following orders.

Did AI make this? It looks like it
Why is that man pulling her braid lol
I don't want to assume their gender but that's a man, baby!
Must've trained the AI on Wheel of Time.

I think this community needs to have a conversation about whether we keep allowing AI comics.
Itβs a no for me but Iβm willing to vote.
There's a vote under every post. Feel free.
Nice βgotchaβ. But you know what I meant. We should discuss adding it as a sub rule - so we can report it for AI as they come.

When I've got 10,000 AI generated candidates on my ballot and its my job to pick out the half dozen real submissions, it feels like there's a structural problem with the election's process.

Why are there way more AI comic posts than usual lately?
Because sometimes people have an idea for a relevant comic, but not the artistic ability to draw it. So, they use AI tools to create the artwork.
Damn, you're right, artistic talent is totally required to make webcomics.
I apologise for my glib response. I don't doubt your sincerity. Things may change in the future. It's just that in this particular historical moment AI has as much to do with democratising talent as nfts did with supporting solo artists/creators.

This is why I custom order all my memes direct from people on Fiverr
AI-generated. Thanks for training my neural network (brain) to identify more AI-generated images (slop).

The good news for (most of) the pieces of shit from the 1830s and 1940s is that there wasn't a tool for us to use to name and shame.
However for this generation of fascist scum there is now the internet. And it should be used to track down and tackle the ICE scumbags. Fuck them.
Edit: Reee, AI, blah blah because, yes, that's the most horrible thing about this post. Definitely not the kidnapping and fascism. Fuck sake.

I approve the message! The images are just reinforcement so I don't really care if it's AI. Not everyone can draw.

It's an inherent problem of the human condition, for some reason our own moral compass becomes dysfunctional once the authority and therefore responsibility is with someone else. It's the reason the Stanford Prison Experiment went so wrong once the professor took influence; we're not inherently evil, we (as a species) are just drawn to the current ruleset as dictated by our social group or idol of choice, especially if we get convinced it's somehow necessary.
Obviously not trying to abolish any guilt here, people are still responsible for what they're doing.
In the end we need way higher quality of education globally, better social security, rethink society (don't have children be on their own and make parents constantly burned out, god damn it) as well as political systems so they are designed to prevent any definition of an in- and out-group. Protections for who, what, where and how people are are great, and stuff like Germany's Article 1 is a good start, but it needs to go way further.
We need to design an environment that allows us humans to become more than we currently are if we ever want to get out of this cycle.
Not to burst your bubble but
Stanford Prison Experiment
was a total hoax:

Saw this on a thread a while back:
The funny and sad thing is I think the original panel was showing American imperialism against historical Nazi facism (soldier attire), so it was very easily repurposed for the next ethnostate of Israel with the Nazi flag being redundant against the very obvious German soldier.
Fascist: "We're just following orders."
Liberal: "Court orders?"
Fascist: "Shut up and get in the van."
Liberal: "Okay, but I'm going to post a frowny face about it on Twitter."
AI slop aside, I'm not even sure most of the people who slaughtered natives were just following orders (in many cases there probably weren't even orders)... Manifest Destiny was pretty ingrained at the time.
What's more annoying? That people have the ability to generate content with AI, or that everyone on lemmy constantly complains about it?
You're banging your heads against walls over and over. Stop. Shut up.
