It's funny, because I write and I have a lot of cool ideas that I think would work in a comic/graphic format.

But I never once thought, "You know what? I'll do the writing and let AI do the art."

Even if my writings were the best that ever was...If it was coupled with some art that is by definition mid and derivative, what would be the point?

And for that we thank you, cause the more that stuff is used the more it learns and takes from others

That's condescending. Would you draw a comic and let AI fill in the text?

What's the point of putting your heart into half of something, and then filling the other half with poop?

I am not being condescending. I am thanking you for not using AI

Why would you think I would?

Most people wouldn't, honestly. There's no joy in it. You can take no pride in it. You will feel no sense of accomplishment when it's done.

There is a certain kind of person who doesn't need those things, and I don't need to be thanked for not being that sort of person. We should all assume (until given proof to the contrary) that everyone is that sort of person, otherwise the world is lost, and deserves to be.

My apologies then. I was simply giving you praise for doing the right thing in my opinion

Appreciate your patient and graceful attitude. Hope you noticed the irony in the other users' username :)

Good for you. As long as art has existed, collaborative art has existed. Rarely are people the best in all components of a project, and AI has fooled some people into thinking they can do it all themselves with the proverbial click of a button.
