Meh, everyone's stuff looks AI now, which was the the whole point and goal of AI. It's not that people's stuff looks like AI, it's that AI looks like everyone's stuff. If Diesel Sweeties came out to day, people would think it's AI.

Especially since most of us cartoonists, either create on or finish up on the computer. I sketch my stuff out, then fill out a lot of builds and solids in Photopea cuz I ain't gonna marker that shit all day. Plus I do a lot of resizing, cut and paste, flipping and clean up, so basically there's no way to tell any difference between it and ai now.

I read up on what some other writers and illustrators say about it, and the overwhelming advice is to just ignore. I documented my method in my comm, and now I'm done defending. I'm not even that great of an artist anyway, so that's why it's hilarious to me. One guy said my stuff was AI because my drawings are so ugly, and no one would draw that way on purpose!! My gf loved that one. lmao

People will like or not like what I make, not my problem anymore. If people think they can create comics like mine by simply pushing a button and have AI do it all (good luck with that!), then not much I can do about it. Anyway, thanks for your support and the explanation!
