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.

Not to mention the ecological damage.
That’s my secondary issue with it.
My issue is less with AI and more with how capitalism has mucked up an opportunity.
it uses less power than a refrigerator. are you going to stop using your refrigerator?
Perhaps I need my fridge more than I need AI generated art.
what if a small artist uses AI to make the money to keep the power for their fridge on?
Being able to food on the table is a priority for all of us and I use a computer for that as well.
The argument was about ecological damage which is also true, especially for running all this hardware to run these models to create said art.
if we're arguing about ecological damage, then the answer is simple - we need to purge roughly 2/3 of humanity from the planet. don't you want to save the planet? get to work.
Maybe a conversation for a different time. Have a good one.
