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.

Okay so should photographers stop taking photos because they didn’t make anything they took the pictures of? See for photography the product is literally a technology applied to an existing object.
AI Models produce new things from existing knowledge. It’s not copying. It’s not duplicating. It’s taking “inspiration” from and generating.
Not capturing.
Creating from.
You yourself could go out and take your own images and train your own model and generate unique content from that. You’re telling me you wouldn’t feel comfortable with that?
To be worried this stuff will “replace” a field it’s not even a part of makes 0 sense. People will still want photos of real people things for one reason or another.
No artist ever lost their fucking job in the history of art, and that’s pretty fucking clear considering we’re still painting all these years later.
Enough of the paranoia and stealing of power away from the public. People will continue spouting their paranoia until the government comes in and takes all the power away from people who could be making real money and a living off of 0% copywritten material
