GAAA! I tried an A.I. experiment with my comic...and is worked a little TOO well. Not that I should be surprised, but I'd rather NOT be thinking that this is where the world is headed :(
It was "interesting" as an experiment, but very disheartening at it's core. The left panel of this strip totally was created by some generative A.I. I gave it a prompt to make a comic strip about wolverines and artificial intelligence (plus I also fed the bot a few of my strips for style.) You can see here that it did pretty well with the color scheme and the general look/feel of the line work, but certain proportional representations are off -- and the ad libbing was even more obvious with several other ideas that were produced, especially in those that clearly stole wolverine images from the internet and then tried to work them into a sensible cartoon-like idea. That being said, the "jokes" or the "punchlines" of the comic attempts made a surprising amount of sense. It was able to "write" a comic-like idea with really very little prompting from me at all.
We are indeed doomed. Long live the analog arts and the human beings that should always be an integral part of the making process!!!
