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.

I am sorry. This combination is no longer allowed. Internet gatekeepers have spoken.

Regardless of my personal dislike towards AI, which I didn’t even express, I was just making an observation.

I think they were sarcastically replying to you. Pretending to be someone who actually has that opinion.

My comment is a little higher in the chain, they didn’t reply to me

Ah. Then I can understand your reply a little more. Still, you can consider their reply directed at everybody else in the thread bemoaning AI.
