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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As long as copyrights exist to restrict me, I'm adamant on they restricting billionaires too.
If they want to extinguish it, I'm listening. Otherwise, they should pay statutory damages for every work they are pirating with those LLMs.
The problem is that it won't. We essentially already have the best case scenario, which is that ai slop is non-copyrightable, meaning that if disney for example tries to generate a slop movie, everyone is free to distribute it so you can't really make any money off of it. Extending copyright pretty much always ends up benefitting corporations, not hurting them.
If Disney uses generative ai to animate large parts of their movie I’m pretty sure it will be copyrighted still, no? Or did I miss something?
I looked it up and unfortunately the ruling is a lot weaker than I initially thought. An artwork generated solely by ai cannot be copyrighted, however, there can be copyright on ai-generated works with a human author(?)¹
